Waste Management: Lower!Primarily, we expect further downward movement, which should take the price below the support level of $189.97. However, please note our alternative scenario (43% probable). This scenario will unfold if the stock breaks significantly above the $218.62 resistance level. In this case, we will have to assume that wave III in beige will make a new high after all. As in the primary scenario, however, far-reaching sell-offs would also be on the agenda here.
WM
Waste Management: Home stretch 🏁The Waste Management stock has established the low of the magenta wave (iv). The price should now be on the last leg of the overarching wave III in beige. After the high of this move, we expect a sharp corrective move to well below support at $189.97. Please also note our alternative scenario (37% likely), which will be activated on a direct fall below support at $189.97. In this case we will consider the high of the beige wave alt.III as established.

WM Waste Management ( Garbage Collector / Recycler ) LONGWM on a 180 minute chart shows a trend up since the October earnings. The January earnings
substantially beat the earnings from the October report and the uptrend accelerated. The chart
shows both VWAP band and volume profile breakouts persisting over 5 months. I have added to
my long-term position in WM with call options for January 2026 striking $200. These have
expensive premiums but I believe there is high value showing on the chart. I have taken partial
significant profits from the $190 calls for January 2025 and am rolling the remaining a year
forward. I will also buy a lot of shares now and hold them for about 4 weeks closing out most
of the position a few days before earnings and hold the remainder through the earnings.
Profits will be used to buy another call option.
Waste Management WM uptrending since prior earningsWM is impending earnings in the next trading day. It is a demonstration that there is money to
be made in the efficient collection of garbage and recyclables On the daily chart, since the
earnings beat, it has trended up through a high volume area breakout and a breakout across
series of VWAP lines and bands anchored in the intermediate past. The volumes have been
consistent. The RSI indicator shows both the lower and higher time frame lines above the 50
level since those earnings. I see this as an add to one of my investment portfolios as it is a
relatively slow mover with dividends. On traders with long duration swing trades will pay
attention to it. An options call trade in the lead up into earnings will mature on February 16th
This is a blue chip stock; it does not get headlines it just works hard month in and month out.
In my opinion, nothing is wrong with that.

Waste Management: Breakout Attempt 💥🚪Waste Management stock is currently attempting to break the upper line of the pink trend channel. We expect it to do so within the framework of the turquoise wave 3, which should provide an important upward momentum that should also take the wave above the resistance at $175.98. As for the rest of the turquoise 5-wave move, the price should hold above this level and only complete the structure and thus the gray wave III at around $192. This bullish outlook is only hindered by the 27% chance of a break below the support at $149.71.
Bearish Divergence Bearish Divergence on the monthly time frame indicating a big bearish morvment is about to happen.

TCOM Naturally I jumped in early so you dont have too!TCOM setting up to launch... Made DEEP support and about to pop the last string on my ribbon. The ESVO is a col and price oscillator that marries the two together... the lines are where all time frames interest is centered. So major support and resistance is created when they merge together. meaning all the time frames are in agreement on where the price is.... when support is made after passing it... It starts its profit run.
90% on stocks that have popped the ribbon and dropped back below.... reaccumulated and popped it again to find support. Natrually I jumped in last week..... And now its about to be ready.

The good the bad the Ugly....Trades for 6.23.23Maybe I am in patient, and even though this looks ugly I am going to post this.... I will post the individual charts for each stock. At the time I added the new stocks to this. EBAY was still being a turd and Bili was scared of its shadow. So if you take those out then we have TCOM and Love not done coming down when I got in....so Maybe give it till 11:30-12:30 EST on 6.23 for some of these. WM being a beast still from my previous trade. AWK started out semi strong then got weak as I was writing this.
Now on to what I do see....*sigh* In the market all travel has been setting up behind Airlines to pop the ribbon. The Ribbon is the ESVO, which is basically the physical representation of the river used for supply and demand. Not only travel, but Natural Disaster stocks are priming. If you have been following my trades. GNRC, AIG, WM, AWK these are all natural disaster stocks. Look at URI also a good one, HD also a beast, LOW.....duh. all popping the ribbon and finding support. Some of these on lower time frames are not there yet. But I like torturing myself.
Note to Bili and EBay I will cut you, like a Latin Kings Girlfriend in a club because you stepped on my shoes while I was waiting by the bar...... Just saying.
I will give these too monday if they arent acting right drop em.

Waste Management: No Time Wasted 🕰From the top of wave D in turquoise, which was commendably paced in our target zone, Waste Management has wasted no time and has briskly started the expected downwards movement. This trend should lead Waste Management into the magenta-colored zone between $154.00 and $146.56 just below the pink trend channel, where the share should conclude wave E in turquoise as well as wave (4) in magenta. Once this low is placed, Waste Management should turn upwards, leaving the trend channel on the northern side and heading for the resistance at $175.98. A 34% chance remains, though, that the share might stop the descent earlier, complete wave alt.2 in turquoise instead and vault above $175.98 from there. In that case, wave alt.(4) would be finished already.

WM MAR10 150/FFEB17 145 DIAGONAL PUTBear Rally:
I've had WM on my watch list since it made a new swing low Friday, January 20th. The stock is also trading below a falling 50-day SMA. As I had this on my watch list, I was thinking this would be a low base set up, but evolved to a small bear rally with lower or equal volume running up to the 20 day or previous support/resistance at 154.35. The candle stick on the 30th could have been used as the reversal candle for the bear rally. I had to wait to get in because earnings were due out the 31st. With it gapping down and traded below the swing low, I decided to get into my strategy today.
Diagonal Spread Strategy:
Since about mid August, WM has had a bearish outlook and based on this trend, it's probably that this will continue a slow grind lower. I drew a couple lines from the August 22' high on the hour chart and identified a channel I wanted to play. Plan A would be hitting my target of 145 by the 17th or being below it by the 17th. I was thinking of picking up the 17 March 150 stikes, but I didn't like the spreads. March 10th should be more than enough time to get to 145. Actually, I prefer my 145 strike to expire worthless and manage my 150 strike until the 10th.
Position management strategies when the stock goes lower
If this goes below my 145 target before the 17th and stays below it by the 17th, I'll close the entire combo out.
Position management strategies when the stock goes sideways
If this goes sideways, I'll let my 145 strike expire worthless and hang on to my 150 strike until the 10th. Either way, I'm set up for max loss risking less than 2% of my portfolio.
Position management strategies when the stock goes higher
If this goes higher, I'm set up for max loss so I'll move on to my next trade.
Position management strategy at expiration
Come expiration, if this is at or below my 145 target, I'll close out the entire combo. If not I'll hang on to my 150 strike, and once it hits my 145 target, I'll close it out even if it gets there before the March 10th expiration.
