Goofy goes scuba divingPossible double top. It could also look as a bullish pennant breakout and retest, but the possibility of a fakeout and double top is very real. The breakout looks really weak. + those last two candles, lol. Bullish meme pennant charts everywhere. I hope I'm wrong
Yeah it looks like there's plenty of bubbles forming possible tops everywhere I look
Just posting random ones, they're endless
DIS
DIS: Multi-timeframe Time@Mode trendsThe yearly and quarterly trends are up in $DIS. Weekly is back at accumulation support here, and bouncing off it, while the quarterly had retraced down into an ideal long entry level to capture the trend in motion in that timeframe. Signals have large targets, so any dip in this stock is a buy. Key Hidden Levels in the daily offer multitude of profitable long entries, while the trend consolidates in lower timeframes, following the bullish bias from longer term patterns. In short: buy the dip!
Weekly can trigger a trend in a week or two, I plotted the potential upside on chart, in cyan. Daily is oversold, but needs to climb back above the last earnings support level, see the chart below:

Dis Possible ShortI personally like Disney is going to last even when im not here in this world, but the problem with dis is, that i would take a lot of time to probe that the new direct to consumer platform actually works, lets be honest, yes NFLX is overvalue and dis is undervalue, but NFLX has been in the market a lot of time, and yes, dis has 100x better balance sheet but people still go home and watch nflx not disney plus. and if people actually do it would take years to gain market share. thats they reality.
for the current market conditions, if you are long the stock take profits, i see a strong support $112.00 and strong resistance $120 that has not been broken since 2015. but honestly i see also could potentially fall to $105-110 before making new highs. if you are long maybe is time to tame some profits.
But if you are short maybe you could enjoy some money!
Earnings Stock of the Day: DISDisney reports earnings today. The chart has been in a bottoming formation since April of 2018 as this company had a business contraction in 2015. The stock is below its all-time high. The bottom is on the short term within a Trading Range of 30-point dimension. Weekly Chart of DIS shows the trading range. The stock is postured to attempt a breakout of the trading range. This requires that the stock move above the previous all-time high to form a new all-time high. It must sustain the new high and move higher for the trading range to be concluded technically. This length of trading range action typically patterns out the excessive speculation of previous years.
DSNY broke it's wedge to the upside. Likely to spike.DSNY is primed for a great bull run for the next three years, as it ramps up it's subscription streaming platforms. Seeing that NFLX's market cap is valued at roughly the same as DIS, one can see how much premium Wall Street could give Disney's online streaming plays. From a chart perspective, DIS recently broke out of a wedge. Given DIS out-of-the-money call options a year or two only contain around 22% implied volatility, these options have tremendous upside.
Long Term View for Disney StockDisney has been lagging inside of a triangle formation for almost 3 years. But i believe in the next months it will prepare itself for a big move. This is a great opportunity for long term and patient investors. I would start accumulating when stock price goes below 104.
Share your opinion, comments and questions. Good Luck!

Weekly
DIS (ESPN) - Sports Betting Season in common with CHDN, PENN, BYDIS
Disney who owns ESPN has a few commonalities with sports betting and that's the NFL season ( Sept. - Feb.)
* Last Sept. to Feb was a strong run for the markets, so comparisons used here to show sector trend.
* Overlay SP500, NAS100 to know better than market
* Overlay sports betting Churchill Downs (CHDN), Penn Gaming (PENN), and Boyds (BYD) Gaming
* Current trend is with US states approving sports betting, not gambling is not used in legislative wordings....
* NFL season creates more betting than any other sport. ( except cricket mate...right?, Rugby7's, World Cup of Darts, no?!)
* BYD pays ~ 0.7% Div., PENN no Div., and CHDN pays a ~2.3% Div, but DISNEY, who owns ESPN pays a ~ 3.0% Div. yield
* BETA for betting is quite high, while DIS is low and near SP500 / NAS100 lines excluding the compounding dividend.
* Don't bet, just invest. This sector in risky with aggressive ups.

Disney breaking out?Disney has been in a bullish pennant formation for awhile now. Price has been squeezing and is ready to make a large move. The Bollinger bands have been squeezing and we've been bouncing off the 50 level on the RSI each time, staying in bullish territory. We're about to get a bullish cross on the TSI which in my opinion would be a signal for another bull run for Disney.
There's still the possibility this is a false break out, but it looks pretty good for now.
RISK ARB OPPORTUNITY: SKY BUYOUT There's been another big deal developing ($29-30B) so I figured I'd post another arbitrage, in this case, 'risk arb' or Merger Arbitrage.
Fox needs to raise its offer of 10.75 pounds per share for the 61 percent of the British pay-TV company it doesn’t already own, in order to challenge Comcast’s 12.50 pounds per share bid. Comcast, which already won U.K. approval for its Sky approach, has a deadline of Friday to put the 22 billion pound ($29 billion) proposal to Sky shareholders under U.K. takeover rules....The tussle over Sky is part of a wider bidding contest between Comcast and Walt Disney Co. for the bulk of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, as each tries to scale up to take on streaming competitors Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com

Although it's formally an arbitrage strategy, purists would argue that it's not a pure arbitrage as it incorporates speculative aspects and is not as riskless as other strategies such as convertible arbitrage which fully hedges deltas:
The main basis in a stock-for-stock acquisition revolves around the idea that the target's stock will often trade at a lower market price compared to the exchange ratio that will apply once the deal is closed. Traders will purchase the target's stock and receive an excess value of the acquirer's stock when the deal is closed.
To hedge risk, traders will short the same number of the acquirer's shares based on the exchange ratio.
The objective is to capture the spread between the target's share price at market and the closing price based on the exchange ratio set by the acquirer. Spreads can be between 5-10% (median) for deals that close upwards of 55 days.
Unlike other arbitrages, risk arbs can be done quite easily, but like all other strategies, can also become more efficient and complex if done professionally.
Risk arb funds can also be good diversification for a portfolio as they often generate superior risk adjusted returns in poor markets.

Waiting for that NFLX ShortNetflix risk is very high and reward very low. Worst of the FANG stocks for sure. Netflix has almost doubled this year with no mean reversion or accumulation of volume A pullback on netflix could see it lose 75% of its value if it returns to weekly volume node.
I wouldn't usually short such a big gainer as NFLX, but the opportunity could present itself if it continues to rise as a parabola could short when that parabola breaks. I would watch for major momentum shifts downward, blow off tops, and break in upward trendlines to find long-term shorts with good R:R.
Somewhat unrelated but if the global market goes bearish long term, Netflix would see the largest downside of the FANG stocks. I am not doom and gloom on the market or anything. I think finding some short opportunities both short term and long term is a good way to keep capital safe from unexpected market swings so we should always keep it on our minds and allocate some earnings to bearish plays when opportunity arises.
By the way. Great alternative to NFLX in entertainment space is DIS:
- Netflix net income: $671 million
- Disney net income: $11.5 billion
- Netflix market cap: $160 billion
- Disney market cap: $149 billion
Disney is at major support here, and a break down from a symmetrical wedge on the weekly is unlikely. Disney is generally safer being long established and dividend stock, but especially safe and bullish right now per its chart.
DIS - Walt Disney Copany Long tradeWe can see a good buy on this trend line
My target is $110 per share.
This is my opinion.

Huge upside for Disney in spite of Netflix competitionHi guys, a view on Disney. Content distribution is clearly the issue, however, I think that will soon be addressed. Lots of hype around Netflix passing out Disney in market cap but I think the upside is very much intact for Disney and the trend should reassert soon.
