Calls
CRM Breakout Levels with TrendlinesWe can see that CRM is in a good buying area as it broke under the trend lines but still stayed on the positive side of the 208 to 229 level. My levels show over 229.11 has 237.11, will then follow trend line over 248.24 levels and can push towards 260.70. I like this long, currently entered in 1/8 230c @3.60. NYSE:CRM
$CRM - Calls Above ~ 229.6 Salesforce took a pretty big hit after announcing the WORK (slack) buyout. It's clear the price has stabilized and is looking to climb again. My favourite ETF, ARKK has also purchased a bunch of CRM at this bargain price. I'm looking to takes calls or buy shares when the price closes above the 229.6 region, which seems to be where the accumulation wall is. I'm targeting to fill just below the gap at around 236.
$PTON - Long Above 117 It should be noted that ARKK purchased 135,000 PTON today. Looking at the chart, it looks primed for a small breakout upside. With more lockdowns being enacted we could see the 122 area, which is historical support/resistance. I plan on taking calls or buying shares above 117, selling just shy of 122.
DHR - Which way is it going?Danaher corporation NYSE:DHR is looking like it wants to break out but it has been caught between the 8 and 21 EMA for about 5 days. We know that price does not stay in a consolidated area forever, but can take its sweet time before it decides to move. Currently, the price for DHR is $225 per share, which is between the upper and lower Bollinger bands. The upper Bollinger band is near $233 while the lower Bollinger band is near $217. The question remains...which way will it go?
Backing out to a weekly timeframe, DHR has been in an uptrend and is pulling back to the 8 EMA on the weekly chart. It has seen good support from pullbacks to this area in the past...however as always, past performance does not indicate future results. We simply use the past to get an idea of what could happen and where to set our stops in case it doesn't play out as expected.
So based on the weekly chart, we are seeing a strong uptrend showing a pullback, and on the daily chart pictured above, we see that price is consolidating to break out. My guess is that the stock will try to push higher and will try to break above the upper Bollinger band as we head towards the New Year.

EA - Trendline break and moving average crossoverElectronic Arts NASDAQ:EA is showing a potential bullish turn. As shown in the chart above, the downward trend line with multiple touches have been broken with enough momentum for the moving averages to crossover. The stock may pull back to the moving average in the short term providing a bullish opportunity to go long.
TMO - Bullish Price ActionTMO has broken through the 8, 13, and 21 daily exponential moving averages in the past few trading sessions. As a leader in laboratory diagnostics and life science sales distribution, it would seem reasonable that the stock may try to push higher as the coronavirus cases continue to grow. Now that the stock has pushed passed the 21 day EMA, there are no foreseeable areas of resistance for the stock and could make its way back up to recent highs nearing $530 per share. I would anticipate a slight pullback towards the 21 day EMA as stock rarely blast higher without some consolidation, but I would say that I am overall bullish on this stock until we reach previous highs.

HBI Bullish Retest of 200 day 50 day providing support after step drop on earnings. 5 year down trend attempting to reverse and break through 200 day creating future 50 day crossover of 200 day.
I welcome all comments on technicals that may be misrepresented, but middle of the road RSI showing support for a steady run in to Feb with potential for better than expected earnings. Target $19 similar to the feb 2019 highs after a bullish reversal in late 2018
POOL - Pool Corporation Bullish PivotPool Corp is giving off a bullish pivot signal today as it closed within the Keltner Channel bands. As price action crosses into the Keltner Channel, we'll watch to see if it continues moving across. In this case, the lower Keltner channel was crossed and therefore, could indicate some bullish days ahead. There will be some resistance ahead as POOL will need to plow through the 13 and 21 day EMAs. Let's see what happens.

PUT/CALL RATIO EQUITY MARKET WARNING SIGNALHello,
Here I've analyzed the PCCE (Put/Call Ratio Equities) in the monthly time frame.
Something extremely concerning is taking place for the coming months. We are close to hitting .45 on the put/call ratio which is in extremely overbought territory. What this means is when we are in this level, all of the buying power in the market is already in the market. We need to blow off steam before we can continue higher. Typically we can expect extreme volatility in the coming months after the ratio gets to this level. I've marked out historic times where price got to this level to add clarity to the chart.
We've already sold off 10% in September when we almost touched. Now we are lower and can possibly touch .45 this month, if that does. Cash may gain value.

Apple - Bullish Trade before earnings?Two indicators that I use show AAPL is giving off bullish signals just before they report earnings today. Let's sit back and see what happens as they are expected to report earnings today at 4:00PM ET.
Stochastics are showing Oversold and have begun crossing over, which is a bullish indication that price could be shifting directions.
Secondly, my studies show that we have a pivot point which means that price has crossed above the lower Keltner channel after having been between the lower keltner and Bollinger Bands.
Let's see how Apple's stock opens up tomorrow.
AMD Major Bear Swing Target $55 AMD one of the best performers of the year hit a 2.272 fib extension on the monthly previous swing in '06-'08
Bearish divergence formed at that extension perfectly on multiple time frames Weekly, Daily and 4 hr.
Could have a head and shoulders top/into a descending triangle possibly with a measured move of around $ 59-53
Fuck ur calls bruh not financial advice these are just my thoughts
Biogen - Pivot Point - Beware EarningsHey traders, I was searching for potential pivot points for long call opportunities and I came across Biogen NASDAQ:BIIB and thought to myself "Hey! This looks good!"... that is until I saw they're expected to report earnings tomorrow. But otherwise, take a look at the chart above. One thing you will see...is that its been trading within a range. I highlighted this range on the chart using the labels Support and Resistance. The other thing to notice is where the stock price is relative to the Bollinger Bands. If earnings wasn't tomorrow, I would be more inclined to purchase a call here because the stock price is holding at the lower BollingerBand at 2 standard deviations. Stock price has a tendency to move back towards the 8 EMA on the daily chart above, so if we are playing the odds, this trade would be in favor to the upside. But this trade is invalidated since we have a major news event happening tomorrow.
So... let's see what happens. In my experience, if a stock breaches the lower Bollinger Band after an earnings report, it's no longer a valid long call trade. In the past, I have made the mistake in thinking with 2 standard deviations... I have a 95% chance that price will fall back within the BollingerBands within the lifespan of the trade. But often what ends up happening is the stock price moves in a "L shaped" pattern where the vertical end of the "L" is the drop after the major news event and the horizontal side of the "L" is the sideways price action the stock experiences for days ( sometimes weeks ) following the news event.
In this situation, the stock usually comes back within the 2 standard deviation range... but not until Theta decay has eaten up your call option's premium. So even if you eventually get the direction right, time will not be kind to your long call position. This is where applying the Put Credit Spread strategy comes in handy. With Put Credit Spreads, you are an option seller, rather than an option buyer. Time will erode the premiums of the spread making it cheaper to buy back later. What's even better, is if the stock moves up... then the Delta will negatively affect the puts making them cheaper to buy back.
Anyways, let's follow Biogen tomorrow and see if they beat or miss earnings and how the stock price reacts to the news. If it heads lower, we'll follow up in next weeks idea regarding the put credit spread setup.
Nike... Just "Trade" It ?Nike NYSE:NKE is trading close to its 21 day EMA. There could be potential for a bullish pullback near the 21 day EMA since its rally from the last pullback on September 22nd was quite successful. Of course, past performance does not indicate future results... We will continue to monitor NKE to see which way it goes.
