NVDA at the CES Ahead of Earnings Next MonthNASDAQ:NVDA moved up on the excitement around AI at the Consumer Electronics Show. We can see that Professional Traders were anticipating a breakout.
The stock should be able to begin some pre-earnings runs soon, as long as revenues and earnings continue to improve.
Volume Oscillators and Money Flow Indicators have been improving as Derivative Developers continued to increase inventory.
Earningsseason
Over-speculated Patterns Heading Into Earnings SeasonNYSE:JPM is the last Bank that has been able to hold onto its Dow 30 component status. It is running up on a combination of buybacks and ETF development for Dow 30 index components.
The stock is over-speculated heading into the earnings season. Volume Oscillators show the extreme pattern clearly. So even minimal weakness in the earnings report could cause an HFT trigger. It might surprise either way.
Some of its growth in 2023 was due to the regional bank debacle when JPM chose certain small banks to target for a silent hostile takeover.
Solid Small Caps for EarningsAnyone finding interesting setups in small caps this earnings season?
These often have more reliable patterns for swing trading. Since they are largely under the radar of the retail crowd, institutional patterns can be clearer.
NASDAQ:CERE is an example of a stock coming up in TechniTrader scans today. It has 88% institutional holdings. A compression pattern is developing. HFTs have been in it recently, possibly due to intermittent accumulation. The strengthening of the sideways action is particularly visible with the RSI indicator.
Dark Pool accumulation tends to cause controlled sideways patterns like this, a key ingredient for what we call Relational Technical Analysis at TechniTrader.
Because this has had a swing-style run out of the last compression pattern at a low in this longer trading range, a swing trade could be considered on the breakout, either above today's high or above the last resistance level for a more conservative entry. (Green lines on the chart) My target would be 31, but of course I'd be watching for exit signals or an extreme pattern to take profits early. Stop loss at the red line on the chart.
A more aggressive trader could look at an entry ahead of the close today if pro trader patterns emerge in the last 15 minutes with an exit shortly after the open if a run or gap up develops for an EOD to FOD trade.
Happy Trading!

MSFT Showing Strength on Retest Ahead of EarningsPercentage of Shares Held by Institutions is a bit low at 69% for NASDAQ:MSFT stock right now. However, the indicators are showing some strength as it retests the lower level of resistance above its current price.
NASDAQ:MSFT reports earnings next week on Tuesday. Microsoft has focused on AI for small businesses, the market niche that helped move it out of its 16-year slump until 2016, and during the pandemic. The pandemic anomalies in revenues should be patterned out this earnings season.
The stock has ample support at the most recent lows. It is a heavily weighted component of all 3 indexes, so an important report for Q3.
$TSLA Earnings Projection! Can the Weekly Downtrend Break?These are projections based on my form of technical analysis. So far regarless of the sentiment we remain in a lower time frame uptrend. We are at a downtrend started from the end of 2021 and with the market fearful the trend could easily change.
My bullish projection for a gap and go is 320
My bearish projection would be 196 with a wick and close at 217
Otherwise, if neither triggers are broken I would expect sideways option burn price action.
Remember Earnings are always a gamble, while I do believe the chart can show us, a side ways stock is a triggerless one.
Earnings Season Kicks OffS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 10/13
Today marks the kick off of the Q3 earnings season, and a potential inflection points in the geopolitical risks with signs of potential ground operations to begin by Israel in Gaza. Geopolitical risks, high interest rates, sticky inflation - reiterated by this morning's CPI numbers, extremely strong jobs market, early signs of consumers beginning to scale back...yet, retail bullish positioning has increased this week again. Is this Fools rushing in where Angels fear to tread or retail investors having some crystal ball into the future that institutions don't have access to? Only time can tell.
However, our AI-driven models (since 2018 - not a "me too AI" bandwagon hopper) have negated the bearish bias yesterday, Tue. 10/10, based on the last two sessions' price action and in line with what we have been publishing for the last week or so: "Our models indicate 4310 as the level to close above for the current bearish bias to be negated". Now, this 4310 is the main support level and a daily close below that is needed for our models to turn bearish.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4402, 4384, 4371, 4361, or 4312 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4398, 4357, 4348, 4332, or 4308 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4380, 4375, or 4367, and explicit short exits on a break above 4353 or 4336. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:11am EST or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

Q2 Earnings Releases Gain Momentum - Day 3S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 07/19
This week's earnings should shed some light on how the markets are shaping up in the wake of the sticky inflation. With a quarter-point rate increase almost a given, the July FOMC meeting may be a non-event, and earnings could be the driving force for the next few weeks.
Early earnings so far indicate strong earnings momentum. If the earnings continue to appear to be on track or with a bias to the upside surprises then the next bull leg could get well entrenched. But, If the earnings show any unexpected weakness ("unexpected" is the key word there), then we might have seen an interim top.
The previously stated level of 4500-4505 is now a key area of support, and 4605-4610 is the upside target - and, next area of resistance - which could be tested in the near future if earnings momentum continues.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate staying out of the markets until otherwise stated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Preparing for the Earnings Season Kick Off Later this WeekS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for MON. 07/10
Markets seem to be searching for a direction, getting ready for the earnings season to kick off later this week. If early earnings show any unexpected weakness ("unexpected" is the key word there), then we might have seen an interim top; but, if the earnings appear to be on track or with a bias to the upside surprises then the next bull leg could get well entrenched. Until this clarity emerges, expect volatility and choppy markets ahead.

MU Micron Technology Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought MU here:
Or sold here:
Then Analyzing the options chain of MU Micron Technology prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 64usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2023-6-30,
for a premium of approximately $1.54.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Long Trade in CELHThe energy drink maker has always been a mover. The stock trends well and routinely makes 50% moves in a few weeks or months.
The stock was a big leader in 2022 and actually rose more than 100% in the middle of the bear market.
It has since pulled back but it is again showing a lot of strength.
Shares ripped through the 200-day moving average to reclaim their long-term uptrend on heavy buying volume. And after three inside days, it pushed to new highs on Friday.
CELH reports earnings Tuesday after the close. All signs point to them beating expectations, but I still wouldn’t risk the farm on it. I would prefer to buy Wednesday morning on a small gap higher.
Z Zillow Group Options Ahead of EarningsIn my opinion, Zillow, a well-known online real estate platform, is poised to witness a significant drop in revenue this quarter due to various factors.
Firstly, there seems to be a lack of interest among potential customers in utilizing their services.
Additionally, with interest rates currently high, it is possible that fewer people will be interested in purchasing homes, which could further impact Zillow's revenue.
These challenges, along with other market factors, make it a tough quarter for Zillow, and the company will need to navigate these challenges carefully to maintain their market position.
Now analyzing the options chain of Z Zillow Group prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 40usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2023-12-15,
for a premium of approximately $4.35.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
I am interested to hear your thoughts on this strategy.

MS: Pre Earnings Run ExampleMorgan Stanley has a pre-earnings run moving up to its earnings report ahead of the open tomorrow. Last quarter had a similar setup for swing trading.
The Year over Year comparisons are no longer impacted by the benefits of the 2020 - 2021 pandemic, when a few stocks had way above normal revenues. This is making many companies show what appears to be far better earnings reports.
