Roku Pulls Back After an Earnings RallyLike many growth stocks, Roku pulled back sharply in 2022. But now after a year of consolidation, the streaming-video company may be trying to recover. The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish gap on July 28 after quarterly results beat estimates. Second, ROKU pulled back to form a base around $76 after the rally. That was near the peaks of mid-June and mid-July. Has old resistance become new support? Third, August’s trough represented a higher low than late July, continuing the series of higher lows that have developed all year. The recent spike above $98 was also the third successive higher high. Next, the bounce in mid-August occurred at the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). The 50-day SMA additionally had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in April, which may suggest its longer-term uptrend has turned more bullish. Shorter term indicators could also be more positive as stochastics rebound from oversold and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossed back above the 21-day EMA.

RSI Slowdown Hits Low for BTC in Last 2 WeeksIntroduction: In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency trading, it's crucial to stay updated on market trends and indicators that can influence your investment decisions. Bitcoin (BTC) has recently experienced a significant slowdown, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates. This article aims to shed light on this development and provide a cautious call to action for traders considering shorting BTC. Understanding the RSI Slowdown: The RSI is a popular technical indicator used to assess the strength and momentum of an asset's price movements. It helps traders identify potential overbought or oversold conditions, thus aiding in decision-making. Over the last two weeks, the RSI for BTC has hit a low point, suggesting a possible slowdown in its upward trajectory. Cautionary Analysis: While the RSI slowdown may raise concerns among traders, it is essential to approach this situation cautiously. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and subject to sudden fluctuations, making it necessary to consider various factors before making investment decisions. Here are a few points to keep in mind: 1. Historical Patterns: Past performance does not guarantee future results. While the RSI slowdown may indicate a potential downturn, analyzing historical patterns, market sentiment, and other indicators is crucial to comprehensively understanding BTC's current state. 2. Fundamental Analysis: Bitcoin's value is influenced by numerous factors, including regulatory developments, global economic conditions, and technological advancements. Traders should conduct a thorough fundamental analysis to assess the long-term potential of BTC before considering shorting it solely based on the RSI slowdown. 3. Risk Management: Shorting BTC carries its own set of risks. Traders must carefully evaluate their risk tolerance, set stop-loss orders, and diversify their portfolios to mitigate potential losses. It is essential to have a well-defined risk management strategy in place to protect your investment. Call-to-Action: Consider Shorting BTC with Caution Given the RSI slowdown in the last two weeks, traders may be tempted to short BTC. However, it is crucial to proceed with caution and consider the following steps: 1. Thorough Analysis: Conduct a comprehensive analysis of BTC's price history, market sentiment, and other technical indicators to gain a holistic perspective on its current state. 2. Consult Expert Opinions: Seek advice from experienced traders or financial advisors with in-depth cryptocurrency market knowledge. Their insights can help you make informed decisions based on a broader perspective. 3. Risk Management: Before shorting BTC, ensure you have a well-thought-out risk management plan. Set realistic profit targets and implement stop-loss orders to minimize potential losses. Conclusion: While the RSI slowdown in the last two weeks may raise concerns among traders, it is essential to approach the situation cautiously. The cryptocurrency market is highly unpredictable, and shorting BTC solely based on one indicator may not provide a complete picture. By conducting thorough analysis, seeking expert opinions, and implementing robust risk management strategies, traders can make informed decisions aligning with their investment goals.

BTC Dominance: Overbought Altcoins and Reversion to the MeanWith many altcoins appearing overbought in relation to Bitcoin (BTC), as evidenced by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) across multiple timeframes and lengths, there is a strong possibility of a reversion to the mean (a BTC Dominance bounce up from around the physiological 50% level). Most often it is argued to not use the RSI as an oversold/overbought indicator but I have always found it very useful when used in confluence with many lengths and timeframes, as a mean reversion indicator. (as seen in this chart) Although I don't have a predefined profit target or stop-loss in this scenario, the chart suggests a potential reversion to the mean for BTC gaining strength over the rest of the cryptocurrencies.

Has CAT Run out of Lives?Caterpillar has been leading a rally in industrial stocks, but now some traders may expect a pullback. Notice the gap to new record levels on August 1 after earnings beat estimates. CAT pushed to another high the following session but failed to hold and closed in the red. That kind of “shooting star” candlestick is a potential reversal pattern. Second, the surge pushed Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) far into overbought territory. It’s now retreating from that condition. Third, a narrowing price range since the rally produced a triangle. Prices broke the bottom of that formation yesterday. They also closed below their 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) for the first time this month. Traders looking to the downside may target the $270 area or lower, which corresponds to the recent gap. The macro backdrop could also worry some investors, given China’s economic weakness lately.

Falling Wedge in Microsoft Technology stocks have retreated this month as the AI frenzy cools. Microsoft, in particular, has pulled back. The first pattern on today’s chart is the narrowing range since the slide began in late July. MSFT has made lower highs, but lower lows at a shallower pace. That could have produced a descending triangle, which is potentially bullish. Second, consider the rally between April 25, when results beat estimates, and July 18, when the company announced pricing for its AI services. The current pullback represents about a 50 percent retracement of that move. Third, the software giant has remained above its 100-day simple moving average (SMA) since January. But now prices are returning to the vicinity of this longer-term trend indicator. Finally, stochastics have been in oversold territory for more than a week.

BNKU- Triple Leveraged Bank Sector LONGOn the hourly chart, BNKU fell from a head and shoulders in late July , crossed under VWAP lines in a VWAP breakdown and pullback before an inverse head and shoulders type reversal now underway. The zero-lag MACD is confirmatory. I will take a long trade here. Projected stop loss and targets ( TP1-40% TP2 40% and T3 20%) are on the chart. I see this as a very safe trade with an estimated 12% overall profit expected. I am in a WFC trade and looking at ETFs DPST and KRE as well

BTTR- a volatile pre-earnings high flying penny stock LONGBTTR has been slowly gathering steam since last week. Today the buying momentum went into high gear with a big jump. This is a penny stock about as volatile as it gets with its backstop far below current market price. With earnings in two days BTTR could easily run another 30% turn around and fall. The price action and the MACD speak for themselves. I will take a small position about 3% of my account with a stop loss of 10% given the volatility. I will advance the stop loss but give room to account for the volatility. I would like to make about 20-25% on this trade over 2-3 days and will have TV alerts to let me know when the tide is about to go out. One alert will be the fade on the Price Momentum Oscillator while the other price crossing down on the faster HMA.

BIOL- running earnings 8/10 LONGBIOL had a triple top in late July so this is a logical long target at 8,0, With earnings in less than two days, volumes above the mean in the past couple of days and a decent price-volume product trend coupled with a Price Monetum Oscillator without any signs of topping out in a momentum stall or fade. I see this as a long pre-earnings play with about 12% upside to the target from the current price. BIOL has no options. The last earnings were a solid cash making top and bottom line beat. Go BIOL !

Oracle Is Oversold Despite Barely DroppingOracle gapped to record highs almost two months ago, and now it could interest some trend followers. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $114.34 level. It was both the opening price and low on June 12, the same day earnings and revenue beat estimates. The software company held that zone in late June, mid-July and again last week. Interestingly, it’s exactly $8 above the previous record high from late 2021. Has new support been confirmed above the old peak? Second, the series of lower highs has produced a descending triangle. This may create the potential for a breakout. Bollinger Band Width also shows volatility tightening. That narrower price action may result in price expansion if a breakout occurs. Fourth, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has caught up with the stock during this period of sideways movement. Intermediate-term trend followers may view that as a potential entry point. Finally, the stochastics oscillator has moved into oversold territory despite ORCL barely falling.

TMV leverage inverse ETF for treasuries SHORTTMV on the one-hour chart tested two standard deviations above the mean VWAP in both late May and early July it fell to one standard deviation below VWAP but then rose sharply into beyond the two standard deviations line ( thick red ) ascending into a YTD high. I believe that this is due to the recent federal debt creditworthiness downgrade. The threatened rise of BRICS reserve currency and potentially adversely affects the value of the dollar ( DXY) while supporting gold prices. I see this as a good continuation play no matter the overextension of price. Both the dual MTF and the zero lag MACD however suggest a pullback. The mass flow indicator does as well. As a result I will look at TMF to go long trusting the indicators to give me a directional bias.

TMF ( 3X Treasuries)beatdown completed reversal underway LONGOn the one-hour chart, TMF a triple ETF of long-expiration treasuries has finally completed its downtrend or ten days given more bearish momentum with the federal debt downgrade of creditworthiness as well as the rise of BRICS as a reserve currency. Three indicators show bullish divergence with a MACD cross under the histogram. The 30 minute RS line rising before the 2 hr RS line reacts and importantly a mass index signal rising into the reversal line and then a drop. While none of this is a Holy Grail, I am confident that the bias here is bullish. I will trade long if you are interested in the stop loss and targets let me know. If you would lke my idea of an options setup, let me know as well. If this idea is helpful, please like and subscribe. Trade well !

Apple Gapped Lower. Now What?Apple gapped lower on Friday thanks to a ho-hum quarterly report. Is it an opportunity for longer-term buyers? The first pattern on today’s chart is $182.94, the previous all-time high from early 2022. AAPL challenged this price on June 5 after unveiling its virtual-reality headset but was initially rejected. The stock kept pushing and made new highs a couple of weeks later. It also bounced at the same level in late June, turning old resistance into new support. Traders may look for entries in this area over the next week. Second, the current drop represented the first break under the 50-day simple moving average since January. Third, stochastics have dipped into oversold territory. Finally the calendar has potential importance with new iPhones expected in September. That could also keep buyers interested over the intervening weeks. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options, futures and cryptocurrencies.

MACD lines are about to cross. he lower RS line in green is showing bullish divergence while the mass index signal is in the reversal zone looking to trigger with a fall. Finally the narrow range or flat candlebars at the end of the price action show the reversal is impending.

Delta Is Trying to Hold a Key Level Delta Air Lines rallied in June as travel recovered leading into the summer. Now after a period of consolidation, some traders may look for the uptrend to continue. The main pattern on today’s chart is the $46.30 level, the high during all of 2022. DAL broke above it after raising guidance, tested it on July 14 after reporting results and is trying to hold it again this week. Successfully bouncing here could suggest old resistance has become new support. Second, current prices are at the lower Bollinger Band. That volatility-based range may suggest that odds favor a move higher. Third, the stochastics oscillator is nearing oversold territory. Finally, time could be a consideration. DAL has gone four weeks since breaking out. That healthy pause with virtually no profit-taking may suggest buyers remain in the pilot’s seat.

NFLX is rising from supportNFLX on the 2H chart is rising with the shortest EMA rounding up . Price is now above the POC line of the volume profile showing buying pressure has extinguished bearish momentum. The RSI indicator shows RSI to have trended down into oversold territory. Fundamentally, NFLX revenues have increased with the household password crackdown. Traders and investors have noted that. I see NFLX as setup for a long entry. I will determine the best entry on a lower time frame either 5 or 15 minutes. I see targets as 485 and 560 based on horizontal resistances on the 4H and daily charts and so a good potential reward compared with the risk of a stop loss at 416 set below the POC.

Is QQQ ready to continue after a minor pullback?On the 4H chart, QQQ has been in a trend up for the entirety of this year reaching 42% YTD. Of late, QQQ has had a 2-3 day pullback correcting a decent uptrend over the prior week. On the Relative Trend Index, while the signal is below the mean line, there is all the more upside and the overall trend is positive. The dual time frame RSI shows weekly RS high and steady over 80 while the lower time frame of 3H as the blue line fluctuating between support at the 50 level and 80 and presently a 50 in the pullbck. I analyse QQQ as ready to continue its overall trend up. I will take out additional call options for a strike of $385 to expire on August 18. Over the past day this option gained 33% and had a bid/ask spread of about 1%. I will set a stop-loss of 10% while anticipating a profit of 150%. Once hitting the anticipated profit before the expiration date I will take one-half of the contracts off the table and close the rest 1-2 days before expiration.
