1-800-Flowers.com | FLWS | Long at $8.001-800-Flowers.com NASDAQ:FLWS has been in price consolidation mode since 2022 and may be gearing up for an upward move as my historical selected simple moving average reconnects with the price.

TJX Cos: Riding the Wave of Off-Price Retail Success TJX Cos ( NYSE:TJX ), the parent company of TJ Maxx, continues to defy expectations with a strong showing in its fourth-quarter results. Bolstered by robust holiday traffic and a compelling value proposition, NYSE:TJX surpassed market expectations, reaffirming its position as a powerhouse in the off-price retail segment.
The allure of off-price shopping has never been stronger, with budget-conscious consumers flocking to TJ Maxx ( NYSE:TJX ) stores in search of unbeatable deals on apparel, cosmetics, and gift assortments. As interest rates remain elevated, discount retailers like NYSE:TJX and Ross Stores capitalize on the bargain-seeking behavior of shoppers, siphoning market share from traditional department stores grappling with softer store traffic.
NYSE:TJX 's fourth-quarter performance exceeded expectations, with overall comparable store sales rising by an impressive 5%, driven by increased customer transactions indicative of robust holiday spending. However, the company's cautious outlook for fiscal 2025 reflects ongoing market volatility and the pressure on consumer wallets. Despite forecasting slightly lower comparable sales growth and earnings per share, NYSE:TJX remains poised for sustained success in the years ahead.
Key segments within TJX's portfolio, including the core Marmaxx and HomeGoods divisions, experienced notable growth, underscoring the company's diversified revenue streams and resilient business model. Lower freight costs and inventory management initiatives further bolstered earnings per share, surpassing analyst estimates and signaling operational efficiency.
NYSE:TJX remains committed to enhancing shareholder value through strategic initiatives, including a sizable share buyback plan and a substantial increase in quarterly dividends. These measures underscore management's confidence in the company's long-term prospects and its ability to navigate uncertain market conditions with agility and foresight.
In an era of unprecedented market volatility and shifting consumer preferences, TJX Cos ( NYSE:TJX ) stands as a beacon of stability and innovation, embodying the resilience and adaptability necessary to thrive in today's dynamic retail landscape. As the company continues to leverage its strengths and capitalize on emerging opportunities, its position as a leader in off-price retail remains unassailable.
EBay Beats Earnings Estimates on Strong U.S. Holiday SpendingE-commerce behemoth eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY ) has surpassed market expectations for quarterly revenue and profit, buoyed by robust U.S. holiday spending and the sustained strength of key focus categories.
The company's stellar performance was underscored by a revenue of $2.56 billion, surpassing analysts' estimates and reflecting a strategic emphasis on value-driven consumer segments such as refurbished goods and auto parts. Shares of eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY ) surged approximately 7% in extended trading, signaling investor confidence in the platform's ability to capitalize on shifting consumer preferences and market dynamics.
According to eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY ) CFO Stephen Priest, the uptick in business activity towards the end of November, particularly in the U.S., mirrored consumers' penchant for value-conscious purchases amid constrained holiday budgets. This trend underscores eBay's pivotal role as a marketplace that caters to a diverse array of buyers and sellers, facilitating transactions across borders and driving sustained growth.
The company's proactive measures to enhance shareholder value were further evident with the authorization of an additional $2 billion share repurchase program, reflecting management's confidence in eBay's long-term prospects and commitment to capital allocation strategies that maximize returns for investors.
Despite the upbeat results, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone acknowledged challenges in certain international markets, notably the UK and Germany, which experienced sluggish e-commerce growth. In response to evolving market conditions, eBay implemented cost-saving measures, including a workforce reduction of approximately 1,000 roles, signaling a proactive approach to streamline operations and mitigate risks associated with an uncertain economic landscape.
eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY ) remains cautiously optimistic, forecasting revenue for the first quarter in the range of $2.50 billion to $2.54 billion, exceeding analysts' estimates. The company's projected adjusted earnings per share between $1.19 and $1.23 further underscore its confidence in delivering sustained profitability amidst market volatility.
Key industry metrics, such as gross merchandise volume, rose by 2% to $18.59 billion in the fourth quarter, highlighting eBay's resilience and ability to adapt to changing market dynamics while maintaining its position as a leading player in the global e-commerce landscape.
As eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY ) navigates the complexities of a rapidly evolving market, its ability to leverage consumer trends, optimize operational efficiencies, and drive innovation will be pivotal in sustaining its growth trajectory and delivering value to shareholders in the long run.
In an era defined by economic uncertainty and shifting consumer behavior, eBay's impressive earnings performance serves as a beacon of stability and resilience, reaffirming its status as a cornerstone of the digital marketplace and a trusted destination for buyers and sellers worldwide.
PINS, STRIKE, SPARE OR GUTTER BALL? YOU DECIDEThe important stuff kept quick.
Yellow line = guideline, one of many possible outcomes, helps me with backtracking, it should not be followed, instead focus on trends and price targets
Green = support, expect bounces
Support trends = 1 weak short term support likely to fail, but backed up with a much stronger trend. Weekly RSI dropping, Likely only one decent move to the upside left. IMO, lots of risk in bullish positions where profits aren't quickly taken.
There is downside showing all the way to $12.
There is upside showing to $54, but 43 and 48 are more likely.
Good luck!
BABA, BIG POTENTIAL FOR EARNINGS BREAKOUT (BULLISH)Like the title says, Bullish.
There is so much going on behind the scenes based on the world events today.
BUT, in the end, BABA is going to be a big supplier of goods across the Asia continent, and there are a LOT of people to sell to.
Put/Call chart is included, I've highlighted the outliers.
Does this mean I'm suggesting to yolo puts and calls? Probably not, but to be totally honest, if you do, I wish luck and hope you make bank. However, I'd say it's risky for short term options.
Long term options on the other hand, if you can buy the spread dip, I like the prices on calls.
I personally think BABA will be a rise and crash stock.
There are numbers showing well in the range of 600 and 700.
Similar to TSLA (previous run), META (current run). Similar, not exact, but similar.
Would I be surprised if the stock was $800 by Sept, NOPE.
Would I expect the stock to be at $800 by Sept, NOPE.
Possible and probable are two different things.
I'm currently eying the potential to hold $63, and maybe even already has and will hold $69, but it's good to be prepared on the low side in case of drops.
RSI is in alignment for one hell of a move to the upside should it want to use earnings as an excuse to rocket.
Basically, in all, my opinion on BABA based on the chart, I'm a fan currently.
In other words, there is a better than average chance for profit and limited losses should you decide to buy at these levels.
If you invest in amazon, you'd probably love BABA, especially if you can sell one at a high, and buy the other at a low, and then keep repeating the process until you own them both.
Good luck!
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS (Global Conflict Summary EDITION)Per the council of foreign relations, these are the following current global conflicts. I've included a brief description of each conflict. It's important to understand these if you're planning or already are investing in defense stocks.
Per TA, I've labeled bearish price targets, bullish price targets, relevant trends. It looks overvalued from analysis on ITA, but there is upside. I'd say that short term probably favors bulls (talking maybe weeks if not less), mid term probably favors the bears (multiple months), long term will likely favor bulls, but it will depend on the movement we see over FEB and March.

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.
Target - Corporate earnings season resemblant of the bear marketYesterday, Target announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2022. The report outlined softening sales and profit trends with downgraded guidance going forward. Total revenue and cost of sales increased year over year, while net earnings and EPS fell dramatically for that same period. Subsequently, shares of Target fell more than 13% in the pre-market trading. Target is yet another company that fulfills our prediction about a weak corporate earnings season and progression into the second phase of the bear market. We expect this trend to worsen in the next earning season and further enforce our thesis.
Total revenue = $26.518 billion (+3.4% YoY)
Cost of sales = $19.680 billion (+8.1% YoY)
GAAP Earnings per share = $1.54 (-49.3% YoY)
Operating income = $1.022 billion (-49.2% YoY)
Net earnings = $712 million (-52.1% YoY)

The image above shows the daily chart of Target. Yellow arrows indicate previous earnings reports and subsequent price action.

A comprehensive overview of the ETH shopping areasLet's start with what Merge is and how does it affect the price?
This is where ETH switches from POW to POS. This means that the "production" of new Ethers can drop by as much as 90%.
However, you should be aware of the dangers that could occur if the update failed.
But as always, let's try to be optimistic for a moment!
Knowing the past, or if you prefer history. We can predict with greater probability what will happen next. And I don't just mean wars that were usually caused by the same thing, crises that were usually caused by the same… .. I mean Bitcoin halving. So, while writing about Ethereum, we will focus on Bitcoin for a moment.
Since the price increased after each Bitcoin halving, we can assume that he will potentially do it again.
Let's go a step further, since after halving the difficulty of extracting or "producing" increased by half and thus we received a smaller reward by half for the excavated block, so we can assume that after the next halving it will be similar again.
So let's ask ourselves another question :)
Is Merge for Ethereum like halving for Bitcoin?
Well, not really, because the market will not get 50% less BTC, only 90% less Ethers. So Merge is more than that!
We have a price curve on a logarithmic scale, but it's not a Rainbow. I simply took these levels as benchmarks.
Note the “Kind of a head with arms that ended us hosse at ETH.
The left arm is yellow circles,
The head is a red circle,
The left arm is a blue circle.
Right after we had our left shoulder and some drops, we had time to go shopping.
SHOPPING AREA - I marked it in blue. It is a place where, in my opinion, you should buy, regardless of whether the price is rising or falling locally
BUY ONLY AFTER ADJUSTMENT - I have marked this area in yellow. this is a place where corrections of 20-50% should not surprise anyone, but should be treated as a potential chance to enter an uptrend.
GETTING INPUT - The pink area should be the place to think about making a profit, or at least and necessarily take out your crypto financial contribution. You should reward yourself for perseverance and consistent implementation of the strategy :) Let the rest of the "free" money work.
LEAVE THE MARKET! - in the red area, forget about buying, this is the place where you should leave the market and wait for a drop of over 60-70-80% and repeat everything again.
Well, now let's talk about price levels and percentage increases (if everything goes according to plan)
We already know that after the second Bitcoin halving, the price of etherum also shot up and despite the initial sideways trend and declines, we finally grew from $ 12 to over $ 1,500, i.e. over 12,000% ....
Another time it was not so spectacular.
After the third Bitcoin Halving ETh, $ 4,800 rose from around $ 200. This time the increase was over 2,100%
And now let's think that if Ethereum was able to increase so much in percentage, is it possible to scenario that we will grow again 12,000% - let's get down to earth and, despite the optimism, let's become realistic for a moment. The crypto market grew after Bitcoin and that much in ETH at that time nothing changed, but it grew.
This time, however, is different.
We have more than Bitcoin halving on Ethereum, so can I assume Ethereum will grow at least 2,100%? Sounds better, right?
If I get off for 2,100% increases and the price rises to 12,000%, should I cry and bang my head on the table? NOT. If you make a profit, you should be happy, no matter if it is 10%, 100% or 2000%.
Let it not be, these are not investment advice. SueI am just trying to put my thoughts on paper ... or rather on a computer screen.
Let's look at the percentages for a moment:
From the peak in June 2016, when the price was at 21.49, we have decreased by 73%.
Since the January 2018 peak, we've dropped 94%, and it's worth noting that the peak was a month later than Bitcoin at the time, which already showed that ETH was starting to get its way ... but then it fell like everything else!
After the November 2021 peak, the decline reached 81% ... which is in line with the average.
Would it be possible to drop by 80% before Bitcoin's fourth halving around 2024 - seems likely.
And I would also like to explain why he decided to mark price curves on a logarithmic scale.
Note that from the high of $ 21.49 to the high of $ 1594, we jumped 3 levels on a mesh of blue rainbow price curves. The next peaks did not break new curves (these peaks with peaks of over $ 4,000 in the next bull market). However, I assume that with the appropriate “market excitement” by increases, there may be a situation in which we will break new levels on the curve.
Thank you very much for reading the full description of the analysis. If it turned out to be helpful in any way, please leave (the racket) a paw up :)
eBay Inc. bearish scenario:The technical figure Triangle can be found in the daily chart in the US company eBay Inc. (EBAY). eBay Inc. is an American multinational e-commerce company, that facilitates consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales through its website. eBay is a multibillion-dollar business with operations in about 32 countries, as of 2019. The company manages the eBay website, an online auction and shopping website in which people and businesses buy and sell a wide variety of goods and services worldwide. The website is free to use for buyers, but sellers are charged fees for listing items after a limited number of free listings, and an additional or separate fee when those items are sold. The Triangle has broken through the support line on 18/08/2022, if the price holds below this level, you can have a possible bearish price movement with a forecast for the next 8 days towards 46.70 USD. Your stop-loss order, according to experts, should be placed at 50.15 USD if you decide to enter this position.
Unfortunately for shareholders, while the eBay Inc. share price is up 42% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. eBay's earnings per share are down 19% per year, despite strong share price performance over five years. This was, in part, due to extraordinary items impacting earning in the last twelve months.

WISH FINALLY sees a reversal candle.
*Sigh of relief*
Now we gotta see a confirmation *queue Jordan Peele sweating gif*
😂
I have a previous post that has much more information vs what I'm going to write here. This should be just a real brief update.
Filing the gap is what I'm pretty sure most are interested on here anyways.
I'm trading WISH, Short term I'm looking for $10 price target which would be a little over $9.50 100 ma on daily.
I do also have a price target of $16.35 mid term. Fib.
I believe a big break will happen after $7.75 (hope to gap up /halt) maybe after $8.12 hits and holds. If this does happen to halt I'm looking for this to get closer to the $15 dollar range. Would potentially look to reverse after that and maybe gain more momentum after a dip.
First things first though, lets get this reversal confirmed. If we happen to explode really quick, I'm sure we will see some profit taking at 10, 12, 15.
Breaking out of this long term wedge could lead to a rapid movement. Trade your plan.
