Highgrowth
The Great Reset of 2022In the light of a recession with the GDP seeing negative growth in Q1 and a tighter monetary policy from Fed as well as rate hikes from Fed does the high profile growth stocks see a slow down.
The main buyer of these high profile growth stocks is NASDAQ where many of these stocks see a bearish market (e.g. Meta Platforms, Zoom and Netflix) as investors go from high profile growth stocks to safer investments such as commodities and real estate in fear of a recession.
Also consumer spending is lower than before as consumers does not buy multiple streaming services, delivery services or technology in general but instead safe money and keep e.g. dollar instead of stocks and cryptocurrencies.
This negative consumer spending causes these high profile growth stocks to see a slow down in growth as their balance sheets are negative.
NASDAQ may see correction towards the green part of the green cloud but after that a more drastic drop off as the price crossed underneath the green cloud.
To support this claim does the EMA and the RSI are both showing this correction is likely to happen.
In tune with inversion of the yield curve may the NASDAQ see negative movements like it did during the last times this happened in: 2001 and 2007 right before the Dot com bubble and the Great Recession respectively.
CRWD : RESET / POSITION TRADECrowdStrike: Another Solid Quarter; Buy Opportunistically
~ After solid F1Q22 results, we reiterate our buy rating on CrowdStrike. We urge long-term investors to buy shares on weakness and existing shareholders to remain invested in the stock.
~ Elevated security spending, new customer additions and upsells into its install base, low churn, and displacement of legacy vendors will drive CrowdStrike revenue.
~ CrowdStrike will become a formidable competitor to Splunk with its Humio acquisition. CrowdStrike hinted on the call that it displaced Splunk at a major customer.
~ CrowdStrike reported another exceptional quarter beating all metrics and guided up. We expect CrowdStrike to remain a dominant security vendor in the near term.
~ CrowdStrike stock will remain expensive and volatile. Hence investors should be buying shares on weakness as when opportunities are presented.

NTLA : SWING TRADEIntellia's Data Has Underlined Huge Potential Of Gene Therapeutics And There Will Be More Soon

DDOG : BLUE SKY / SWING TRADEDatadog's (DDOG) stock is not cheap, but the company is highly innovative and showing no signs of slowing down. To illustrate, not only is Datadog's guidance for the year strong, but its billings were up 69% y/y as of Q2 2021.
Having said that, at 32x next sales, the stock is far from cheaply valued. Investors intent on being shareholders here should look to dollar-cost average into their position over time, rather than being too imprudent with one's capital.
Overall, investors should adopt a long-term buy-and-hold strategy, rather than just looking for quick gains in the name.

Can SAVA get back to $100 in the short term? $SAVA (Cassava Sciences) saw an insane rally in 2021 from $7 to $145 on the hopes that its groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment will yield promising results never before seen in the history of the disease. Currently there are no Alzheimer's modifying therapies on the market and if the data surrounding Cassava's main drug, simufilam, is accurate then it could be the first of its kind.
SAVA saw a sell-the-news event when it announced its promising results, suffering a 23% drop on July 29. Soon thereafter a Stat News article was released criticizing Cassava's results, citing a group of independent researchers. The stock dropped a total of 55% from highs.
Is this a buying opportunity? Obviously we are largely delving in uncharted territory and financial analysts/traders won't be able to infer whether the science is reliable or not. However, traders know how market cycles largely work. There is often a second wave of optimism after negative news coverage (whether a short report or a hit piece), driven by those who are willing to speculate.
SAVA is showing a bullish harami on the 1D and it has dropped to the Fibonacci golden pocket level, also at the 100 MA where it has routinely found support. This could be a buying opportunity for those who are in the market for a bit of risk. As long as #SAVA is above the 100 MA, I'm willing to hold it in the mid term and will ride the next wave of positive financial/medical news.
Entry: $79
SL: soft SL with manual monitoring if it breaches the 100 MA
TP: $88, $94, $100

NNDMbesides the fundamentals, the chart has a lot to offer
we can see here, that it can be at the top, almost ready to fall back, even to $4 per share.
tho, as we can also see here, it can also be the last low, after that we will see a parabolic upturn, that could drive the price +10x in less than 3 months.
or else, as we can see here, price is at top of the channel, ready to go down to the previous high, the now support (which worked as resistance for almost 5 months), before we can see any other upturn.
and can also be sideways nearly until the end of April, as we see here with this flag, waiting for the MA200 to get closer and offer support for more gain.
anyway, we have to keep in mind, RSI and MACD are all overbought, volume has almost been the same since this started climbing, which is synonymous of people's attention, at least. and also that NNDM has a 30% short float, according to finviz data.
if we want to talk about market cap, it is up to now, worth almost 800 Million.
if it, let's say, do a 10x (as we said as an option), the company will be worth 8 Billion dollars.
those are all different possibilities, I CAN NOT know which one is gonna be real in the future, but I know, for sure, this stock seems everything else than easy to predict.
play it carefully, keep in mind that those so much spoken among investors have high volatility, and so you could "win" doubling your value or losing half or more of it, in just a single day.
a lesson for everyone: as you do analysis about something, consider that your POV could not be the right one, or, more probable, could not be the only one. that's why we all should always consider something through someone else POV and change our first impression, by starting again with a free mind. (in order to have those 3 possibilities, I had deleted all the previous ones, and made a new one, totally based on something new, that I had not thought about before)

CHGG - BREAKOUT / NEW HIGHSChegg, Inc. operates direct-to-student learning platform that supports students on their journey from high school to college and into their career with tools designed to help them pass their test, pass their class, and save money on required materials. Strong fundamentals showing increasing earnings for the past quarters above +40%, revenues accelerating +35% consistently for the past quarters, with margins expanding and positive earnings revisions for 2021. One of the stronger stocks on my watchlist of companies whose earnings are growing not despite of the pandemic but because of it.
Stock already broke out from a pattern resistance last week with accelerating volume and an entry position for potential range expansion is shown on the chart. Expectation is for price to continue its trend up from an early stage breakout with above average volume and find support on it's 10-day EMA on pullbacks.
