Despite positive earnings, $shop still going to new lows.The earnings reaction was positive today which saw shares of shop go up over 20%, however we're already fading the news.
The big picture is that we're in the process of a larger market wide correction that will bring all stocks down with it.
If we look at the chart, even with the news today, price has just formed another lower high and is setting up for a large move lower.
I don't think we'll see a bottom be put into the market until we test $31 or lower. Base case is we likely hit the two lower supports on the chart.
Let's see what happens in the coming weeks.

Shopify Surges 22% on Strong Q2 Earnings and Upbeat ForecastShopify Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:SHOP ) experienced a remarkable 22% surge in its stock price following its second-quarter earnings report, which significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations. The Canadian e-commerce giant showcased impressive growth in key financial metrics, despite a challenging consumer spending environment.
Financial Highlights
- Earnings per Share (EPS): 26 cents, surpassing the 20 cents expected
- Revenue: $2.05 billion, beating forecasts of $2.01 billion
- Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV): Rose by 22% to $67.2 billion, outpacing the $65.8 billion consensus estimate
Shopify’s success is attributed to its robust demand for services that support online merchants, including software solutions, advertising, and payment processing tools. The company's ability to navigate a mixed consumer spending landscape underscores its strong market position.
Strong Performance Amid Consumer Caution
Despite a cautious consumer spending environment, reflected in recent earnings reports from e-commerce rivals like Amazon, Etsy, and Wayfair, Shopify reported solid growth. The company’s GMV soared 22%, highlighting its ability to capture market share even as broader economic conditions impact consumer behavior.
Jeff Hoffmeister, Shopify’s CFO, remarked that the company continued to gain market share, driven by its diverse clientele and robust platform. “Our merchants are outperforming and doing better than others,” stated Shopify President Harley Finkelstein, emphasizing the benefits of the company's broad and varied merchant base.
Key Metrics and Achievements
- Merchant Solutions Revenue: Increased by 19% to $1.5 billion, driven by GMV growth and Shopify Payments adoption
- Subscription Solutions Revenue: Grew by 27% to $563 million, bolstered by a rise in merchant numbers and pricing increases
- Gross Profit: Up 25% to $1.0 billion, with a gross margin of 51.1%
- Free Cash Flow: Increased to $333 million, compared to $97 million in the same quarter last year
- Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): Rose 25% to $169 million, with Shopify Plus contributing 31%
Positive Outlook for Q3 2024
Shopify (NYSE: NYSE:SHOP ) provided an optimistic forecast for the third quarter. The company expects revenue growth in the low-to-mid-20s percentage range year-over-year and anticipates a slight increase in gross margin. Additionally, Shopify projects a free cash flow margin similar to Q2 2024 and expects to maintain a double-digit free cash flow margin for the remainder of the year. Shopify’s impressive performance amidst a mixed consumer spend environment highlights its strategic positioning as a leader in e-commerce solutions. By focusing on diversified merchant needs and enhancing its platform's capabilities, Shopify continues to strengthen its role in global commerce.
Industry Context
The company’s success contrasts with challenges faced by other e-commerce players, who have reported cautious consumer spending. Shopify’s ability to thrive despite these headwinds showcases its resilience and strategic advantage in the e-commerce sector.
Technical Outlook
As of the current time, Shopify stock (NYSE: NYSE:SHOP ) has experienced a notable increase of 22.3%. This significant surge is supported by a bullish Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 58, indicating the likelihood of further price escalation. Additionally, the daily price chart presents a distinct upward gap, suggesting that market dynamics may lead to this gap being filled in subsequent trading sessions.
In summary, Shopify's strong quarterly results and positive outlook reflect a company that is not only weathering economic uncertainties but also thriving in a competitive market. As it continues to expand its offerings and drive growth, Shopify remains a standout player in the e-commerce landscape.
Shopify Short term Sell Target Off Major Support BounceHI guys, ive been following Shopify (SHOP), since its test of some important SUPPORT. This is a quick update from my previous idea. (Which you can find down below for more context)
We've currently bounced extremely bullish off the SUPPORT level, heading towards a SUpport turned Resistance line associated with the UPTREND channel i identified.
Normally when we break down or break above trend lines, that we have respected for some time. We tend to retrace back to that same line to Re-Test it.
Such is the case for Shopify.
Watch the Volume, an INCREASE/ SPIKE in Volume is absolutely needed to get back ABOVE, resuming our UPTREND.
But due note: we are heading into Labor day weekend, thus RISK of LOW VOLUME.
I would then consider if you were able to take positions from the SUPPORT level bounce
To think about off loading some of your position here.
If we do get back into the UPTREND channel from my previous POST. We can look to take new positions if SUPPORT is CONFIRMED.

Shopify Corrective Move and Potential TargetsHi guys! This is a Technical Analysis on Shopify (SHOP) on the 1 Week Timeframe.
Since its not the end of the Week, we have to wait till the end of week to see how this week's candle closes.
We ATTEMPTED to break
->1. The ORANGE resistance zone above the 1 FIB level
->2. The "MAJOR RESISTANCE" labeled line that represents a RESISTANCE trend that formed from the PRICE TOP.
WE WERE REJECTED after trying for 4 weeks (july 10th to August 7th).
The 4th weeks candle closed as an ENGULFING BEARISH candle.
Note: For price to break any trend line, it requires a minimum of atleast 3 major tests
This current one in my opinion, ONLY MAKES 2 touch points.
This strengthens the reason of why we got rejected.
So far this weeks candle is showing a much SMALLER body than previous weeks.
This can be an indication that perhaps SELLING is slowing down.
But come end of week, the CURRENT BODY cannot close larger than Today August 9th Candle.
We are currently:
-> BELOW the 21 EMA
-> Breaking the RED Channel i drew out
-> 0.786 FIB Level
Heading straight to the SUPPORT zone comprising of:
1. SUPPORT Horizontal black line
2. 0.618 FIB Level
3. The base of the DESCENDING Triangle.
***Being a confluence of 3 SUPPORT levels -> I believe us to attempt a bounce from the $53.00 area, maybe to retest the "MAJOR RESISTANCE" trendline
In my opinion, its important that we can somehow get back above these key levels come end of week.
If we cant, probabilities are pointing towards a small corrective move
Especially the 21 EMA, looking left reveals patterns where price can fall for upto couple weeks to even couple months.
Which can even validate or increase the probability of the descending triangle to play out
If that happens we will test:
1. First, the 0.5 FIB level at $47.44
2. Then the 0.382 FIB level, which is also around a intermediate Resistance turned SUPPORT line.
3. Worst case scenario = Range of 0.236 FIB level at $34.91 to about $23.90
----->*****going any lower would invalidate the current MACRO BULLISH trend****
-----> But going this low can have create some bullish patterns like a double bottom. But overall its just as of now, less probable.
But we have to just focus one step at a time, worrying about a target level, if the previous trend is broken and confirmed.
Ex). -> If we break below the 0.5 FIB level and confirm, only then is the 0.382 FIB lvl likely.
The STOCH RSI is showing BEARISH move down to the 20 level, we can continue to move below the 20 level and even stay down here for weeks to couple months. But the longer we stay at low levels especially those below 20 level, price tends to decline further.
So we need to pay attention to the level it ends up at.
The RSI is testing a SUPPORT zone, below it can indicate further price drop. Also notice that the RSI line is below the BLACK moving average. If you look left, if we are below it for extended periods RSI continues to drop, along with price. Keep this in mind.
Lastly, the ADX GREEN line, is on a decline, getting close to meeting with RED line. If a cross occurs, more BEARISH momentum can enter the stock. This could increase the probably that the correction continues for a longer timeframe.
We would need GREEN line to curve up and try to get ABOVE resistance line.
Stay tuned for more updates on SHOP in the near future.

Shopify: Shopping Spree 🛍️The Shopify stock is currently wandering off to a shopping spree in the South and could get dangerously close to the alternative scenario, if it crosses the support line at $32.35. This would implicate further downward pulses until the turquoise wave alt. B hits its low. Primarily, we expect the course to get back in the saddle to exceed the resistance line at $45.43, which should be followed by the completion of the pink wave (A).
Shopify: Shop until you drop 🛒Shopify is currently on the verge of dropping further South to complete the turquoise wave B in the middle of the turquoise target zone between $34.35 and $28.22 before turning the course back North to exceed the resistance line at $45.43 in order to complete the pink wave (A). Our alternative scenario implies an earlier surpassing of the $45.43-mark instead of dropping into the turquoise target zone.
Shopify dancing in a range.Shopify - Intraday - We look to Sell at 39.88 (stop at 43.43)
The primary trend remains bearish.
Price action continued to range between key support & resistance (30.00 - 40.00) and we expect this to continue.
Bespoke resistance is located at 40.00.
Resistance could prove difficult to breakdown.
We look for a temporary move higher.
Our profit targets will be 30.61 and 28.61
Resistance: 33.00 / 35.00 / 40.00
Support: 30.00 / 28.00 / 26.38

SHOPIFY Bottom PotentialAn upward channel can be drawn from a strong trend line point on SHOPIFY
It provides a chart like this, showing a clear top, and also a potential bottom that aligns with the 4.618 fib
An attempted support can be seen to have formed at 2.618 (yellow)
This leaves 4.618 as a bottom point, which has also been seen as a bottom in the past (green)
Two bullish chart patterns can be seen on chart along with one bearish
Ascending and Descending wedge both acting bullishly
Followed by a Double top, considered a bearish pattern
Was the SHOP sell-off predictable?Of course it was! It reached both of my price targets:
And now i think it will go even lower.
My experience as a seller on 2 Shopify stores was terrible in the past 4 months. I had a decrease in sales of more than 60%. My friends with on-line store had the same experience. So if the merchants don`t make money, neither do Shopify.
It`s hard to believe they will come up with a good quarter.
My buy area is lower than $400.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
SHOPIFY: Can the hole get bigger? The answer is YES!I would not want to be owning Shopify stock this year. I think we strike one more low to the .5 retracement and then bounce up to about $1000 for a B-Wave, before a final C-Wave down to the $210-$330 region. It will be a painful year for Shopify owners I believe. The move down so far does not resemble ABC structure. Also, it needs to be longer in terms of time. Good luck.
