NASDAQ:LYFT I thought I published this idea back on September 17th when I went long. I started with a ½ size position on that date. I added additional shares on Monday the 23rd and again yesterday to bring it up to a full-size position. I am now hoping it will consolidate some of these gains. This is one I plan on trading around, meaning I may take some profits...

AMEX:IWM small caps have been volatile for quite a while now. I expect that volatility will continue until after the election. When looking at a daily chart it is hard to see any kind of pattern but zooming out to a weekly timeframe it looks to me that it has established a solid uptrend. I will be looking for an opportunity to get long for a move back to the...

Enphase has been basing for about 10 months after a severe selloff in 2023. That base has been wide and loose until the June – July timeframe where it has tightened up and appears to have established an uptrend channel. I will be looking for a reversal in the coming days to weeks as it is likely that it will head back to the top of the channel. Should it start...

I have wanted to be bullish on the energy sector, but this chart tells me it is in a downtrend. We have a series of lower highs and lower lows. There seems to be some horizontal support around $86. However, that has been violated on the last lower low. I am terrible at shorting stocks, so I’ll stay on the sidelines unless or until the AMEX:XLE puts in a higher...

NYSE:CMG has quite a few technical indications that it is getting ready to make a measured move to around $63 a share. Longer term $70 seems to be an area where this upcoming move may encounter quite a bit of resistance. See the chart for notes. I am looking at this as being a “W” pattern and while the right side of the “W” is shallow, I think it qualifies “in...

NASDAQ:DDOG gets an upgrade this morning from DA Davidson to “Buy” driven by strong cloud solutions and expanding security management. That could be a fundamental driver. On the technical side, NASDAQ:DDOG has been basing for about 10 months and has now formed a VCP or Wedging pattern. That is the positive thing on the chart. The negative on the chart is it is...

I have been watching NYSE:ORCL since it reported earnings and have been waiting for it to consolidate that big earnings gap. It looks like it has done that, and it broke out of a pennant formation this morning. I started a ½ size position here at 168.18 and have a stop just below yesterdays low of 163.92. That is just over a 2.5% stop loss. Let’s see what...

NASDAQ:AMD looks to be developing a “W” formation, similar to a double bottom. There are quite a few of these formations on charts especially in the “Semis.” AMD stands out to me and looks to have a measured move from the breakout point (top of middle of “W” measured an equal move higher, see chart). The breakout looks to me to be $157.82 for a possible entry....

I have been long NASDAQ:SMH for months and have been up as much as 18%. I have given a lot of that back and am now watching this chart very closely. I did hang in for that 29% drop (shown on chart) and felt it was a shake-out. It started recovering nicely but dipped again. The only positive thing I can say about this chart is that it has managed to put in a...

I have posted about NASDAQ:CSLR before (link below). Just based on technical signals it looks like this one may be ready to pump up to around $2.40 a share. From yesterday’s close of $1.78 that is a $0.62 move or 34.8%. That is the initial target price. If all goes as planned by the company this has the chance of being a $6 or $7 stock in the next 12 to 24...

Looks to me that NASDAQ:TLT may be finally breaking a downtrend (Interest Rates Reversing Lower?). It is too early to tell for sure but it is an interesting development. This could be a double edge sword. Rates coming down may be good for stocks short term but longer term it may well mean the bond markets are starting to see a recession ahead. That would not...

AMEX:BITO is a in a massive Cup w/Handle Formation. I was just going through weekly charts in sector ETFs, and this just popped right out to me. I do not have much to say about this except that these types of formations often lead to upside breakouts. Having said that I have an alert set on the upper downtrend line. Should that trigger, I will go to a lower...

NASDAQ:TSLA I took a trading position in this yesterday at $169.55. The idea was that once I saw price rejection after the low of 167.41, it is a reversal play. There is still a good deal of resistance around that blue horizontal line. My idea or thought is that this has been range bound for some time as such it very well could go to that resistance area around...

NASDAQ:MASI This one has been in a longer-term downtrend which broke out in March then failed. When looking at the weekly chart, it looks to me that this latest formation can be classified as a Cup w/Handle. In addition to the Cup w/Handle formation it has come down, tested and bounced off the 40 Week MA (White line) which seems to have acted as support. I had...

NASDAQ:CSLR I have been long this for about 2 weeks adding along the way. This is a complete turn around play as there is a new CEO, COO and management team appointed. They have managed to renegotiated debt structure, most for equity swaps. This is one of my rare situations that I have not set a stop as this could be a wild ride. So far, on average I'm up over...

NASDAQ:TSLA I had an alert set on the Area of Resistance Line on this chart. It triggered this morning and I have taken a ½ size position in anticipation of that becoming support. I do not know if it will play out that way so I have a stop under the 50 DMA (red) which would a 4% position risk. Should it move up and over the resistance area I will look to add. All...

Looking at this weekly chart NASDAQ:BOTZ has made a series of higher highs and higher lows, the definition of an uptrend. It did, however, fail to make a higher high in the last few weeks. The question is, is this an indication of a double top and ready for more downside or is it just a shakeout waiting to resume the uptrend? I do not know the answer. I do like...

AMEX:TAN ETF looks like it has started a nice move. I got in on this one May 9th as it broke above the downtrend line for the second time since the gap up May 3rd. It came close to stopping me out on May 21st, but it held above my stop. I was rewarded on May 22nd with a massive volume surge, due in part by the big move on $FSLR. It looks to me to be at an area...
