Earningsgap
Positive Earnings Gaps Seldom Fill: NFLXTo follow up on my analysis of NFLX from Wednesday ...
Despite the market moodiness and selling, NASDAQ:NFLX reported well above estimates.
HFTs triggered a huge gap up on heavy pre-open order flow yesterday. Volume was also huge, so smaller funds' VWAPs triggered and retail traders chased the stock while Pro Traders and HFTs made some big profits.
Gaps up on positive earnings seldom fill completely. There is a strong support level at $350 which the gap up now confirms.
SN LongBought half size this afternoon as SN cleared a recent consolidation pivot after gapping up this morning. In a better environment, I'd have bought in full size today, but I'll look to hold and buy more if / when the stock reaches its debut-day high of $52.90 and the environment improves. Reasons for entry are simple... stock gapped up on earnings, pulled in and then gapped away again on even higher volume than the earnings day. It has continued to show solid volume patterns with volume surges accompanying big up days (including today) & had a nice volume dry-up leading into today's gap and push.
Stop is just below where a complete gap fill would occur. Will be looking to slide the stop up as soon as I can given the poor environment. Would like to see a big volume up day bring us back to the debut-day high to drag that anchored VWAP from the 9/11/23 gap up above my breakeven price.
WSM LongDespite the recent poor environment, WSM held onto its 13.5% earnings gain before rocketing off Monday morning on news that a private equity firm has taken a 5% stake in the company. Saw the news after the fact... what I did see was a relatively strong stock breaking out of a narrow consolidation at the top of a deep bottoming base on massive volume. It ended up trading its average weekly volume in one day & the most daily volume since August 2021 AND closed very close to its high on the day.
I'd normally like to give the stock more wiggle room after a big move like this, but the poor environment dictates that I move my stop up fast. I initially placed it slightly below the low of the day and was going to manually close the trade if the strong move faded into Monday afternoon, but it didn't and now I've slid it up just below breakeven with multiple key areas to protect it ($150 round #, High-Volume Support level around $151.25, and the anchored VWAP from Monday's open).
Apple -> Now Getting Long!Hello Traders and Investors ,
my name is Philip and today I will provide a free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis of Apple 💪
Starting on the monthly timeframe you can see that after Apple broke out of the clear triangle formation in confluence with the bullish moving averages, Apple created a strong rally of 30% towards the upside, breaking major resistance.
On the weekly timeframe you can see that Apple is already approching previous resistance which could be acting as support and considering that this level is the previous all time high I certianly do expect at least a short term bullish rejection.
However on the daily timeframe everything is still looking quite bearish - therefore I am waiting for a break and retest of the $183 daily structure level before the daily timeframe is also ready for more bullish upside.
Keep in mind: Don't get caught up in short term moves and always look at the long term picture; building wealth is a marathon and not a quick sprint📈
Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow!
My previous analysis of this asset:
Entry Points in NFLX Ahead of EarningsPlatforms ahead of earnings is an important pattern to watch for. Platform-building markets develop on the dominance of institutional investors buying quietly with controlled orders via the Dark Pools.
NFLX has a classic "quiet accumulation" pattern, also known as a Dark Pool buy zone. These platforms provide strong support for the bottom formation, especially since this was a breakaway gap.
SNOW: Resistance Becomes Support with Earnings Gap UpWhen this company IPO'd it was the big stock of the year. Alas, there has to be more to a company than a cute name.
SNOW had its earnings report late in the season and it gapped up on the news. The gap jumped over resistance, so it is not likely to fill easily. Resistance becomes support for this type of gap. This can suggest that SNOW may be a company beyond recovery and into potential long-term growth.
CPRI - Capri HoldingsStarted position as the stock came through its inside pivot & PEG day anchored VWAP. Ran up nicely before giving a lot of the move back in the afternoon.
CPRI showed massive growth in EPS last year (+205.52%) and estimates for the current year (with 2 quarters already reported) are EPS growth of 180.87% with sales growth of 33.37% supporting the EPS growth.
Will close half position if today's opening price point @ $64.76 is breached, as I would expect the PEG day anchored VWAP just above to hold as support if this stock is going to be a true winner.
