$MAR rejecting important levels for new ATH?ANALYSIS:
$MAR last trading session showed great rejection candle off last year high and previous month low.
After pulling back to Pivot Based EMAs, price closed just above slow PEMA.
The rejection is supported by low volume node from the composite volume profile over the last six months.
In addition, the rejection area remains highly important for $MAR since major tests occurred in Feb '18, Dec '19 and Mar '20 (ref. weekly TF)
EXECUTION:
Scaling into the position by executing an entry with 50% trade allocation at/near the last session's mid point (153.18), if price opens above it on Monday 22.11.
Add to the position by executing an entry at/ near the absorption zone (mid point of rejection day) on Day 2.
Finish scaling to defend your position should a failed new low of days 1 and 2 develop on Days 3 and/or 4.
In price closes below 153.18, exit the position.
TARGETS:
The new low of the month suggests a possible retest of month highs at 162.31 with further extensions up to 165.50.
Crucial Area for MAR: bullish MACD diverg: Bear Trap, BreakoutCrucial area for MAR.
Slight bullish MACD divergence forming with bullish cross likely in next few days. Potential bear trap occurred on June 28th as price broke below support but has since regained that support level. Clear descending triangle pattern is coming to a head in the next few days as price moves up towards trendline resistance.
Descending Triangle is usually considered a bearish pattern, but given the MACD divergence, the potential bear trap that resolved higher, the longer term bullish stock trend, and the narrative of pent up travel demand, I'm inclined to play for a breakout. Will change my mind if price makes a lower low below the "bear trap" and or dips below the 200 day, roughly $130.
Have been long the stock since 2.22.2021 at $144.96. Long call options as of 7/01/2021.
Marriott bullish inclined defensive options - 28 Aug ExpiryThe hotel industry is one of the weaker sectors due to COVID-19. 8 Months deep into the pandemic price volatility has stabilised. With earnings recently over Implied volatility seems to have returned to the previous range. I don't think people will be rushing into this sector anytime soon.
This is perfect for my options strategy which does not do so well against price gaps or rapid movements.
after a few months of trading ETFs with this defensive strategy, I have decided to widen my opportunities. Trading stocks at key price points seems like a good extension. The goal is to incline my trade towards the direction of the key price point break. If it doesn't break, I still get to collect the spread.
This is a defensive trade. If price goes bullish, I have a chance to hit my max gain of est. $1668. But I must close the contract before it rises beyond my breakeven point where I will start losing.
If prices don't go my way (Bearish) or ranges I will collect est. $520
Sold 14 Calls @ 0.64, Strike 110

MAR right now is likely a dipFirst off, please don't take anything I say seriously or as financial advice. As always, this is on an opinion based basis. For those who sold off last high like the rest of the pros, congrats! Now it looks like Marriot is at the stock price of a dip, and lowest it can likely go may be $85, but I think it has been beat up quite a bit. I can expect this to likely be in a positive retracement pattern quite soon as it has not been historically that underwhelming. As always, this is on an opinion based basis and not meant to be taken seriously as actionable financial advice. Proceed with caution at your own risk.
