Twitter looking to resume the uptrendIn my previous post, I've mentioned that there is a correction coming for Twitter and that was catalyzed after the social platform banned Trump's account.
Price has landed perfectly on the uptrend major support and formed yesterday a nicely looking pinbar.
RIS has turned from oversold zone and if you are more aggressive current price is tempting enough to enter long. I would wait for the additional confirmation from MACD. My long-term target is $58 if bullish conditions are confirmed.
Keep eyes on Boeing - a lot of room for a promising recoveryIt took some time for Boeing to break out of its bullish wedge, but the support held well, and we see some more stubborn attempts from buyers to push the price up.
RSI is rising above 50, MACD has crossed over and the histogram is moving slowly towards positive territory. Earnings are after 7 days. so keep that in mind. An impulse above $216 will confirm the continuation of the bullish trend. My long term target is $250.
AMC shares rose After $100M Secured-Debt IssuanceAMC Entertainment Jumps After $100M Secured-Debt Issuance
AMC issued $100 million in debt of five-year secured notes. to help finance operations through the pandemic.
In December the Leawood, Kan., company had secured a commitment for the debt financing from Mudrick Capital Management, the New York investment adviser.
Interest on the notes is 15% a year, payable in cash semiannually beginning July 15. For the first three interest periods after the issue date the company can choose payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17% a year. After that interest must be paid in cash. The notes mature April 24, 2026.
Late last month, AMC filed with the SEC to offer as many as 50 million shares in an effort to avoid a bankruptcy filing.
That filing came on top of 200 million shares it filed for earlier in the month.
AMC has said it needs $750 million.
“And in the event of such future liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, holders of our common stock and other securities would likely suffer a total loss of their investment,” it said in the filing.

Breakout could be underway Google held the range high support area and is bouncing strong today. If 1700 holds the stock could be headed to all-time highs. Google can face regulatory pressure but no where near the amount Facebook potentially will. The company also has many more levers to pull and in the worst case a breakout could actually be positive for the stock.
Going for the WYNN As wynn retests the range high support zone, I am looking for a further breakout toward the 120 area. As long as 100 holds the trend still appears to be bullish. Obviously the digitization of gaming is a huge secular shift but it doesn't mean that the incumbents like wynn wont prosper in the new environment. And I cant speak for anyone else but a weekend at a wynn resort in a post vaccine world sounds like a good idea. Same goes for LVS for that matter.
What's in for Bank of America after the earnings report?Today we saw the earnings report for Bank of America and it did not meet the investor's expectations. So far the earnings season (for the banks) starts a bit off. The EPS came above expectations at 0.59 versus 0.54 expected. Revenue though came in with a miss - 20.1B against 20.56B expected. The main cause for the miss cited is the COVID-19 pandemic.
RSI is already crossing from overbought territory, though MACD's crossing is lagging. The histogram is showing a divergence with the price which is in line with RSI's early divergence with the price.
My expectations are for a drop towards the trend line support at the $31.35 zone. A breach there may lead to a potential drop towards $30.61 and by this jeopardizing the uptrend.

Texas billionaire and Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is in talks to take his casino and restaurant empire public through a merger with blank-check firm Fast Acquisition Corp., according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The special purpose acquisition company is in talks to raise more than $1 billion in new equity to support a transaction, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. The deal could value the combined entity at up to $7 billion including debt, one of the people added.
The new company, which Fertitta would still control, is set to include casinos and restaurants under the Golden Nugget and Landry’s umbrellas, they said. If talks are successful, a deal could be announced n the coming weeks. Terms may change and discussions could still fall apart.
Representatives for Golden Nugget and Fast Acquisition declined to comment.

Sorrento could surge 275% in 2021, Here is why...H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju rates SRNE a Buy along with a $30 price target, which implies a 275% upside from current levels.
Factors behind the optimistic outlook:
1. Sorrento has a stake in two cell-based immunotherapy companies that could “drive value in Sorrento shares over the coming months.”
2. the analyst highlights Sorrento’s “burgeoning portfolio of assets spanning three distinct therapeutic areas (non-opioid pain management, oncology and COVID-19).”.
3. two rapid COVID 19 detection tests; COVI-STIX, for which the company filed for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S. in December, and COVI-TRACE, which Selvaraju claims could come in handy at any mass gathering event.
“We believe that the incentive to facilitate the large-scale and indeed ubiquitous deployment of the COVI-TRACE test is extremely high and governments worldwide may seek to implement this in their respective regions,” the 5-star analyst opined.
4. Other Covid-19 candidates include COVIGUARD - a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody, COVI-AMG - an affinity-matured version of the COVIGUARD neutralizing antibody, a neutralizing antibody cocktail named COVI-SHIELD and COVIDTRAP, an ACE2 receptor decoy, intended to imitate the mammalian ACE2 receptor that acts as the primary portal for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to penetrate human cells.

Disney's price on a crossroadHolidays are over and it is time to get back into the markets, refreshed and with new strength.
I am making another revision of Disney as the price on Friday closed at the internal trend support and played out the small bearish flag. Volumes were higher than Thursday as there were 12.23M shares traded against 8.951M shares on the day before Friday. The activity had increased before the weekends, but with that dip buying before the close, it looked more like long position covering.
Now two options are on the table that will be crucial if confirmed by the price action.
1. Price dips inside the $165 - $169 zone and we may see potential trend-reversing price action;
2. The zone holds and Disney'sprice resumes inside the uptrend with the broader market;
Be cautious on the first trading day after the break.

Decent risk reward setupI am definitely not trying to Zoom post the COVID vaccine but what I am trying to do or how I feel means nothing to the market.
Parabolic watchThe stocks run has been incredible after the range breakout. I don't have a fundamentally bearish view of the company but a pause seems imminent especially if the rate of change has peaked.
