Pattern : Cup And Handle
PANW - Trend AnalysisPANW is downtrending since last Earnings. The ER results and the guidance were good but still the stock was beaten down most probably due to Profit taking.
In an attempt to predict the bottom in this downtrend, i have drawn here 2 Fibonacci Levels.
1. Major Trend -- Fibonacci Retracement from March Lows upto August High, This shows 0.236 level at 239s and 0.382 level at 217s.
2. Minor Trend - Fibonacci Extension from July consolidation low at 221 upto August High at 275. This shows 0.618 level at 254 where the current price is sitting now.
We need to wait and see if the drop is going to follow this Minor trend or the Major trend.
-- Assuming it is going to follow the Major Trend, it can fall all the way to 239s which will confirm it follows the Major trend. It can bounce back from that level mostly. A drop further will put that into 217s (which is 0.382 level).
-- If it appears to follow the Minor trend, then the drop levels are 254 / 247 / 241 / 233 / 220
Potential Support levels:
Major Trend Drop Levels -- 239 / 217 / 200
Minor Trend Drop Levels -- 254 / 247 / 241 / 233 / 220
The support can be established at any of the above levels. And a bounce back of 20% above that level will provide a confirmation of Trend Reversal.
So far, it looks like 240 may be the Support where it can potentially bounce back.
Nevertheless, once the bottom is established, PANW is guaranteed to go back to 300+ especially considering a string of PT raises recently.
So this looks like a good buying opportunity for both long term buy-and-hold and short term Swing Trading.

Cyber Security has become essential for all"Because of the rise of remote working, cyberattacks have grown exponentially in recent months, with the FBI reporting a 400% increase in complaints in April versus March, as attackers hope to expose weaknesses in an organization's business continuity strategy"
Fundamental difference between some of the biggest cyber-security companies:
CrowdStrike's (CRWD) endpoint protection uses resource-friendly security agents to inform its crowdsourced cloud about any potential threat anomalies. All customers are protected based on a single threat found, and its technology is supported by having renowned threat remediation and hunting capabilities.
OKTA disrupted the identity access and management market with its cloud-based technology that has a large number of application integrations that make controlling who has access to what much simpler for security teams. In a perimeterless security world, the importance of identity is becoming paramount.
Zscaler's (ZS) secure web gateways delivered via its cloud locations provide customers a safe route to cloudbased resources. Branch and remote users can go directly to their applications instead of going through a centralized data center, decreasing lag for the end user and alleviating traffic bottlenecks for IT teams.
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) is an attractive option for investors. In our view, its cloud transition springboarding growth off its firewall leadership, upselling and cross-selling prospects via its security platform, and strong cash flow and balance sheet are being overlooked for the pure cloud-based companies.
PANW double bottom re-test. Pick up on trading above todays highShort Retest of Double bottom neckline along with old support line. Can be picked up on positive trading implying wave 5 of elliot wave.

CRWD - 4/20/2020CRWD - Both lines are above the cloud and the belt cloud shape is beautiful, smooth and silky! Last week, there were unusual option activities buy on $70 calls. This morning, some huge buys on weekly 4/24 $75 calls. The chart shows CRWD will get $75 very quick. So as PANW, upside calls on $210.. So, cybersecurity sector?? Puts on COUP though..
Palo Alto Networks - buying dip?FUNDAMENTAL
PANW earnings guidance lagged its forecast, creating a 12% decline after hours.
Palo Alto said that it has agreed to acquire Aporeto, a machine identity-based micro-segmentation firm, for $150 million in cash. The company said its earnings projections include net expenses related to the proposed acquisition.
TECHNICAL
Both the 50sma and 200sma are working as support after the earnings report took PANW 12% after hours.
The 50sma is also looking to break the 200sma. Crossing of the 50sma over the 200sma could be a bullish confirmation of a healthy uptrend.
Will enter position if we can stay above the SMA's and enter the channel, formed by the most recent gap.
**Next short-term resistance area --> $228-$230.

Aug 2 exp
PANW Iron CondorSince PANW is very rich in premium right now with a high IV. It seems to have broken support and is going sideways. ER is May 30th I may decide to take off the trade before then however I may also want to take advantage of the IV contraction.
195/200/240/250 EXP June 21st $290/710 Profit/Risk
I plan to take the trade off at $150 profit which means I will risk $300 to make $150 since its a high probability trade. If this goes toward the bottom end I will try rolling the top side closer to the side broken or I may just leave the trade since the top side is more vulnerable.

PANW = WALL STREET CORRUPTION - MICRON IS GOING TO $250.00I just took a look at this garbage company and its bleak earnings release, I WAS SHOCKED AT THE STOCK PRICE COMPARED TO THE MONSTERS MICRON, WESTERN DIGITAL, INTEL AND MANY MORE!
PALO NETWORKS IS TRADING AT $220 ... OMG! ... AND ... AFTER HOURS UP $12.00 ON A NEGATIVE EARNINGS REPORT..?
YES, THESE STOCKS ARE BUBBLES AND WALL STREET COMPANIES LIKE MICRON SHOULD GO PRIVATE AND STICK WALL STREET WITH JUNK BUBBLE STOCKS TO TRADE.
PALO HAS AN E.P.S OF NEGATIVE -2.02
PALO LAST SEVEN (7) QTR'S E.P.S... YES I SAID 7 QTR'S ... ONLY $5.41 IN EARNINGS
COMPARED TO MICRON'S LAST SEVEN (7) QTR'S E.P.S ... $13.28 IN EARNINGS AND WHERE IS MICRON'S STOCK TRADING COMPARED TO THIS GARBAGE COMPANY?
TODAY'S NEWS FROM THE CFO OF MICRON WAS NOTHING BUT POSITIVE BUT BECAUSE WALL STREET DID NOT LIKE THE COST OF ONE PRODUCT, NAND MEMORY WAS LOWER, THEY CRASHED THE STOCK PRICE
MICRON CFO SAID "AVERAGE SELLING PRICES ""INCREASED"" FROM THE SECOND QTR TO THE THIRD QTR DUE TO MULTI-CHIP TECHNOLOGY THAT HAVE BOTH NAND AND DRAM / DUAL TECHNOLOGY ON A CHIP"
DAVID ZINSNER / CFO OF MICRON JUST TOLD WALL STREET THIS COMING QTR WILL BEAT ESTIMATES!
THE LIST OF GARBAGE COMPANIES GOES ON AND ON, PALO IS NOT THE ONLY GARBAGE "BUBBLE" TECH STOCK!
ELON MUSK / TESLA WAS RIGHT, HE SHOULD TAKE THE COMPANY PRIVATE ALONG WITH ALL THE REST OF THE COMPANIES LIKE MICRON WHERE WALL STREET HAS NO APPRECIATION, CLUE OR KNOWLEDGE AS TO THE FUTURE POTENTIAL OF COMPANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND MOST OF ALL, TECHNOLOGY.
DIRTY WALL STREET FIRMS TORTURE THE COMPANIES LIKE MICRON WHILE CHEERING GARBAGE COMPANIES LIKE PALO.
WALL STREET IS NO MORE AN ELITE PLACE TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH!
MY AVERAGE COST IS SO LOW RIGHT NOW ON MICRON, WHEN IT GOES TO $250 A SHARE WITH OVER $20.00 IN EARNINGS, I'LL BE A BILLIONAIRE, NO LONGER A MILLIONAIRE!
THANK YOU CORRUPT WALL STREET FOR CONTINUING TO OPEN MY EYES AS TO THE CORRUPTION PLAGUING THE FINANCIAL MARKETS AND FOR MAKING ME ONE STEP CLOSER TO BILLIONAIRE STATUS!
$PANW Oversold at Support$PANW Palo Alto Networks - oversold bouncing off support level around $219 earlier today. Earnings today after the close. Assuming a beat today, targeting $232+ near term.
$PANW getting ready$PANW hasn't gone anywhere since the start of 2016. It has been consolidating making a triangle in the process. If it breaks above the downtrend line over the next few weeks we can see it go much higher. Above $155 is where the jet propulsion starts. If so it could easily see $200 in the year 2018.
