PEG Continuation Trade - Ticker: $CHWY
Setup: PEG Continuation
Key Criteria:
1. Market Cap of $10 billion or more.
2. High Relative Volume on Close (2Rvol+).
3. Ideally, the price has reached a key daily/weekly support or resistance zone without gapping into a range (i.e., not in the middle of a range).
4. The stock is "in play" or on the verge of forming a new trend.
Specifics for CHWY:
* Market Cap: $12.52 billion
* Share Float: 118 million
* Short Float: 12.58%
* Average Volume: 10.99 million
* Relative Volume: 3.13
* Catalyst: Recent earnings release
* Current Trend: In play
Trade Details:
* Position: Long
* Entry Price: $30.62 (High of Day)
* Stop Loss: $28.50 (below intraday pivot and VWAP close)
* Risk: 0.75% of account equity
* Order Type: Buy Stop Order
Targets:
1. Target 1: $35.21 (2.17R) — Weekly Fair Value Gap (FVG) resistance.
2. Target 2: $36.30 (2.68R) — Weekly Fair Value Gap (FVG) resistance.
Exit Techniques:
* Scale out 33% of the original position size at Target 1 ($35.21).
* Scale out another 33% of the original position size at Target 2 ($36.30).
* Exit the remaining 34% based on a "Reason2Sell" (R2S) approach, which includes:
* Price Reversal Patterns: Double tops, head and shoulders, falling wedges.
* Overbought Conditions: RSI exceeding 70.
* Negative Divergence: Price makes a new high, but technical indicators do not confirm.
* Support Level Breakdown: Price breaking below a significant support level.
* Increased Volatility: A sudden surge in volatility or trading volume indicating potential selling pressure.
Reasoning:
CHWY presents a potential short squeeze opportunity, given its 12.38% short float and multiple rejections of the $30 level on the daily chart. The stock shows signs of bottoming, with prices holding above $24 and currently trading above the Anchored VWAP (AVWAP) from the last earnings. The trade idea is to go long above the High of Day (HOD) with a stop loss at VWAP, targeting a move towards $36+.
The trade is also influenced by NVDA's earnings, which caused CHWY to gap down after hours. While it's unclear if dip buyers will sustain the stock's recovery, CHWY, as a pet food stock, may attract different investor interest compared to AI-focused stocks like SMCI. The strategy is based on solid earnings, key support and resistance levels, and a daily chart showing consolidation following significant market activity.
