ZS Zscaler and the U.S. Gov Agencies Hit By CyberattackIf you haven`t bought ZS here:
Then you should know that Zscaler provides cloud-based security solutions, including web security, data loss prevention, and cloud application security.
In light of the recent news regarding cyberattacks on multiple U.S. government agencies, it is reasonable to expect an increased focus on cybersecurity measures, which could potentially benefit cybersecurity stocks in the market. These attacks highlight the vulnerabilities present in the software systems used by government entities, underscoring the urgent need for robust cybersecurity solutions.
The fact that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is actively investigating the breach indicates the seriousness of the situation and the government's commitment to addressing these security threats. As such, there may be a heightened emphasis on strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure and investing in advanced technologies to defend against future attacks.
The reported involvement of a Russian-speaking hacking group known as CLOP in previous attacks serves as a reminder of the persistent and evolving nature of cyber warfare. This continuous threat landscape necessitates ongoing innovation and investment in cybersecurity.
Considering these factors, cybersecurity stocks have the potential to experience an upward trajectory. Companies specializing in threat intelligence, network security, endpoint protection, and data encryption could be in high demand as organizations and governments seek to fortify their defenses against cyber threats.
My Price Target for ZS is $185 by the end of the year.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Getting close to another support level on $DJI, SCALPING onlyAs stated many times, in & out. Get as much as you can and then WAIT, be PATIENT IF you want to hold longer. It could be a while before we get another good longer term buy opportunity.
As stated before, SCALPING quick moves.
Most of these were not huge moves BUT Put premiums did lessen & provided 10-25% in minutes.
$MSFT went from 249 - 252
$ZS 106 - 108.5
$TSLA 170 -177
$COIN 53-55.2
$RUN 21.9 - 22.95
Picked up some gold miners $BTG $KGC Possible consolidation in the industry.
$DJI bouncing off Support levelEarly this open
RSI looks ok & is oversold. Not buy much but it's been a good amount of selling
Took advantage of this dib & went on buying spree. As we've been saying for some time, IN & OUT, scalps & short term trades.
We've also been SELLING PUTS to help reduce risk by bringing premium in. If the premium subsides a good amount we cover.
Not looking for home runs.
We should have an okay day today but a lot of damage has been done to #stocks.
$MSFT $TSLA $ZS $UDOW $TQQQ $RUN
Beginning to nibble on #GOLD miners $BTG $KGC $FNV doing well today
$DJI dip bought yesterday paying off, $NDX #stocks BOUNCINGYesterday pointed out that we were using cash on that dip
We had sold decent amount couple days before from the longs of last week.
Bought (Sold puts) $MSFT $UDOW $TQQQ $RUN $ZS and others
With rates increasing & #FED staying hawkish how are we not going lower?
Maybe not here but we've stated before MANY times that #markets don't work, especially now, the way most think.
It's psychology & BIG MONEY moves how they see it.
$DJI can very well stay RANGEBOUND for a bit. Stayed this way for 2 weeks in December.
The indices are "easier" to track so find your fav company and use indices to trade around it.
$TSLA intraday trade YESTERDAY, NO longer want after $NDX hitAll this documented
Check profile for more data

10am Yesterday---
187 is support, going to start nibbling $TSLA here
WITH TIGHT LEASH
------------------------
1026AM updated
Interesting that $VIX isn't moving
Did the $TSLA & will likely just try & scalp some points
$187 is a decent area
Sold short March 17, 190 puts, were $9 bucks!
$TQQQ done for quick trade, looking to close soon
$NDX
------------------------
1048AM
DONE!!!
$TSLA Sold $9 covered @ $7
$TQQQ done as well
Even more cash than yesterday
Will WAIT & see, maybe get few more scalps here & there
Looking @ #Tesla $ZS $TQQQ & others for re-entry but patient
---------------------
TODAY NO LONGER INTERESTED IN $TSLA
$NDX looks weak, middle of trend & $TSLA doesn't look like it wants to hold
Will revisit 167ish
TOFU FuturesI posted Cattle futures earlier, but I realize some of my followers may be vegetarian.
Tofu futures also trending up, and I would expect it to bust out to new highs if the Fed doesn't go .50% today. Inflation is not gone, just dipped like this chart did. Trend is once again UP, not down.
The Fed is incompetent and looks at trailing data instead of futures, so I think they screw up just like they did a couple of years ago.
ZS Zscaler, Inc. Options Ahead Of EarningsLooking at the ZS Zscaler, Inc. options chain ahead of earnings , i would buy the $119 strike price Puts with
2022-12-2 expiration date for about
$2.01 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, i would sell at least 50%.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

ZS massive channelMassive descending channel on ZS with a possible retest of upper trendline.
If you zoom in on a smaller time frame (1HR) you can clear see some resistance at 163.94 / 164 level. This level has been holding for a week now.
If that level breaks, there is not much resistance until 186 which is 5/22 lows and trendline from the highs in December. A great R:R trade.
$BUG Good Cybersecurity BarometerIf you like the cyber security space, you can trade BUG or use it as a barometer as it's comprised of names such as PANW , CROWD ,ZS, etc.
I like this fund because... it's cheap. PANW is trading at almost $600 , options aren't cheap (JUN 620c is 28.4 or $2,840 a contract).
However if you wanted to go long on BUG JUN $32 calls they are trading at about 1.10 ($110) !
Technically, BUG has broken down from the upward channel and is currently trading below the weekly 30day moving average.
Bullish Scenario : Price breaks back into the upward channel , in which case an idea would to be go long with an initial PT of $38
Bearish Scenario : Price rejects at the channel / 30day moving average and we see the next leg down with an initial PT of $25
Of course, with each scenario one could go short / long in one of the individual stock names for a higher R/R trade

A deal for a false breakout of the extremum ($376).
1) The closing of the daily candle is far from the extreme

Short: $376.2
Target: $361
Stop above $381
