Snap
PHUN Long Trade Expecting Continuation PHUN is in the advertizing business specializing in targeting consumers with smart filterning of
the ads tailored to their websurfing and data history. That said, it competes with Google,
Facebook, Snapchat and all the rest. it is far more volatile than them as a small cap company.
The trade is in capturing the volatility.
On a 120-minute chart, PHU was in a state of dormancy and almost no range in late 2023
but awoke in the current year. The all-the-highs are in the 80 range back in 2022. From the
highs of January to the recent low on March 1st, PHUN dropped more than 70% in 40 days or so.
On the chart, it has broken out of deep undervalued territory and is not situated near the
anchored mean VWAP and is at the POC line of the volume profile. It traded nearly 70
million shares about 20X the running average. I see this as an opportunity for a long
trade at or near the VWAP where institutionally based traders are likely to trade. The
volume and volatility make this obvious. A similar combination of volume and volatility last
occurred about January 16 and propelled the price more than 250% in 4 days. While a similar
move should not be expected, even 50% in 4 days is an excellent return for the risk taken.
I will set a stop loss of 10% for this volatile stock while targeting 18 and 22 from the VWAP
band lines on the chart.

SNAP - Bottom is likely inBroken charts take time to heal and this one is showing signs of improving.
Pullback from 200EMA but at volume shelf. Still could go either way. Distribution here again would be catastrophic.

SNAP The best short on the market.Snap Inc (SNAP) has been on an incredible rise since practically October 26, which was straight after the bottom on the Higher Lows trend-line of the 1-year Bullish Megaphone pattern. Technically that is the pattern's 4th bullish leg towards its top (Higher Highs trend-line). The price is very close to that level, which is also where the 1W MA100 (red trend-line) is waiting.
That is a trend-line that has been untouched for almost two years (January 04 2022). Obviously it is a major Resistance and coupled with the fact that the 1D RSI, besides touching its Higher Highs trend-line, is on the highest overbought level in three years (Oct 23 2020), makes a case for one of the strongest sell stock picks in the market.
All of the Megaphone's Higher Highs rejections have pulled-back to at least the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level before a bounce. As a result, as long as we close the 1W candles below the 1W MA100, we are shorting Snap, targeting 12.00 (slightly above the 0.5 Fib).

Snap (NYSE: SNAP) Shares Gain on Jefferies UpgradeSnap (NYSE:SNAP) shares rose more than 2% pre-market today after Jefferies upgraded the company to Buy from Hold and raised its price target to $16.00 from $12.00.
The most challenging times for the company seem to be over, and they see a pathway back to a mid-teens revenue CAGR over the next 3-5 years. The underperformance of Snap in the past, according to Jefferies, was largely due to the rebuild of their direct response (DR) advertising platform. This revamp led to a drop in revenue in the first two quarters of the year. However, recent developments suggest that the DR platform is starting to show positive trends.
Snap is well positioned to achieve a 15% revenue growth in fiscal 2024, marking a significant increase from around 0% in 2023.
Price Momentum
SNAP is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.

SNAP - No Longer Ghosting 👻Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst.
📦 NYSE:SNAP has been confined within a range for nearly a year , indicating a significant accumulation phase.
📈 For bullish momentum to prevail, a decisive break above the upper boundary at 14.0 is crucial.
In such a scenario, the Markup phase would initiate, propelling the price towards the 30.0 mark.
🏹 Meanwhile, SNAP is expected to consolidate. As it nears the lower bound at 10.0 once again, we will be actively searching for new short-term buy setups.

SNAP Potential bearish reversal. MACD to confirm the sell. Snap Inc (SNAP) has been on a strong rise since the September 26 Low. Technically since the October 21 2022 market bottom, the stock has been trading within a wide Rectangle pattern, with the majority of its price action observed within the (blue) High Volatility Zone consisting of the 0.236 - 0.618 Fibonacci range. The price is currently on the 0.236 Fib.
Every 1D MACD Bearish Cross above the 0.00 mark, following a rally that started with a Bullish Cross below 0.00, has been a great sell opportunity. Our target is exactly on the 0.618 Fib at 9.85 (the bottom of the High Volatility Zone), which will also make a perfect contact with the (green) Ichimoku Cloud. Notice the harmonic trend of the Ichimoku Cloud within this long-term Rectangle. Every decline tends to hit it.

Snap Stock Jumps On Reports Of Purchasing In Snap Via AMZ.Snap stock is rising Tuesday on reports the company has a deal to allow users to directly purchase Amazon (AMZN) products on Snapchat. The deal for Snap (SNAP) follows a similar agreement between Amazon and Facebook parent Meta (META).
The agreement will allow Snap users to buy Amazon products they see advertised on Snapchat directly through the app. The arrangement was first reported late Monday by The Information.
Snap stock is up 9% at 12.34 in recent action on the stock market today.
Amazon Collaborates With Snap
Amazon confirmed details of the arrangement to Reuters. Snap users will be able to see real-time pricing, Prime eligibility, delivery estimates and product details on select Amazon product ads within Snapchat.
The deal is similar to one struck between Amazon and Snap's larger rival, Meta. Users on Meta's Instagram and Facebook will also be able to shop Amazon directly on each app after linking their accounts.
Snap Stock: Sales Bouncing Back
Snap, meanwhile, is coming off its first quarter this year with year-over-year sales growth. The company reported a 5% revenue increase for the third-quarter.
Price Momentum
SNAP is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.
Snap Stock Surges More Than 11% After Earnings BeatSnap (SNAP) reported its third quarter earnings Tuesday after the bell, beating estimates of the top and bottom lines and suggesting that more growth for the social messaging company may be on the horizon.
These earnings beats were a much-needed win. Snap, owner of Snapchat, has become representative of the malaise that can affect an advertising-dependent tech company. The business has struggled since the launch of Apple's (AAPL) App Transparency Tracking, and was sent reeling by a digital advertising slowdown that's only just picking up again.
Many of Snap's plans for its future — for example, its repeated efforts to make mainstream AR glasses — have yet to fully take. The company this year released its own AI chatbot, My AI, but its rollout has reportedly raised fears among parents concerned for their children's safety.
In its earnings release, Snap revealed that over 200 million people have used My AI, sending more than 20 billion messages. It has also signed up 5 million people for its premium subscription Snapchat+, adding a potential annual income of more than $200 million.
“We are focused on improving our advertising platform to drive higher return on investment for our advertising partners, and we have evolved our go-to-market efforts to better serve our partners and drive customer success," Snap CEO Evan Spiegel said in a statement.
Additionally, Snap offered up a relatively optimistic internal forecast, saying that it sees its Q4 adjusted EBITDA coming in between $65 million and $105 million, a wide range but on the high end from Wall Street's estimates of $100.6 million. Notably, this was not formal guidance; Snap is opting to disclose internal guidance, which should be viewed with some caution.
The Earnings Rundown
Here are the key numbers that Snap reported, compared to Wall Street's expectations as compiled by Bloomberg:
Adjusted Earnings Per Share: $0.02 actual versus -$0.04 expected
Revenue: $1.19 billion actual versus $1.11 billion expected
Global Daily Active Users (DAUs): 406 million actual versus 405.79 million expected
Snap's daily active user numbers are particularly notable — they mark growth of 12% year over year.
Snap COO Jerry Hunter is set to retire, the company revealed in its report. Snap also authorized a share buyback program up to $500 million, implying that management thinks the company's stock is undervalued.
Snap shares came into this earnings cycle up about 9% year to date, lagging the Nasdaq Internet Index, which is up about 34% in 2023. Its revenue had declined in the last two quarters before the latest reversal.
Despite the upswing in Snap's revenue and signals that the advertising market is recovering, the company's investor letter acknowledged that the third quarter was tough. Looking ahead, there are also fears of another advertising downturn due to the war in Israel.
SNAP: EASY 17.89 BEFORE NEXT EARNINGDespite the market consolidation, I agree that the SNAP sell-off was an overreaction. Big hands are attempting to shake off the Snap investors in order to move higher. Currently, large volumes are being bought as much as they can at below resistance, which is around 11.22, but if it breaks, we should expect 12.19 in no time. This is the time to start collecting shares, not wait. Big whales will force you to purchase you at a expensive price. I am bullish in Snap. GOING UP AFTER 08/07/2023
SNAP looks bullishJust broke out of the descending channel and may have found support on the WLB. Entry set on this level with another opportunity to add on the MLB. If level reaches here, I will look at some long dated options available that week.
Big divergence on Snab RS + its trading above the EMA on the weekly and looks like it going to cross on the monthly as well.
Is the SNAP Sell Off overreaction a Reversal Setup?Yes, I think that it is. On the 15-minute chart, the price action of the post-earnings
drop is seen The earnings beat the analysts. Price has started a low momentum
recovery. The dual time frame RSI shows the low/blue line RS rising above the
high/black line. SNAP is in the deep oversold and undervalued territory in the area
of the lowermost intermediate-term anchored VWAP lines. The mass index indicator
triggered a reversal in the pre-market hours today. I will take a cautious long trade
here expecting a price appreciation to 11.8 at or below the mean black VWAP.or about
10%.
