Markets starting the new year on sale, this selloff was expected with tax considerations from last year's gains. Move down was compounded by Georgia senate elections with a result expected by Thursday open. Markets do not like binary catalysts, when they do happen I see opportunity. If Dems win control of the senate, my 2021 outlook will change considerably.
Technicals:
- Major cup and handle forming, need to see a move up to ATH within the next 2 weeks
- Gap filled at 128
- Fell back into support at 127 rising channel (red line)
- 0.382 fib support (fib started from bottom of trend change)
Fundamentals:
- Q4 upgrade supercycle expected to show better than expected sales in Jan earnings
- Weak dollar has benefited international sales, especially considering high unit prices
- Multiple new product launches (non-iphone)
- Many products are on backorder due to supply side issues (AirPods max still sold out for 1-2 months)
- Another iCar rumor can significantly boost short term interest (TSLA at a new ATH while the dow is down 600)
Risks:
- Democrats winning control of US Senate, we will see a definite passing of higher taxes across the board in order to fund socialist projects (college loan forgiveness, bankrupt state bailouts, etc.) Stock buyback programs may also be banned/severely neutered.
- Fed rate increase (Not expected to happen until minimum summer and vaccine rollout)
- Market scare leading to a downward momentum move
Stoploss:
Will exit calls if falls below 125 support
Exit shares if below golden pocket at 118
