Bolstered by strategic debt reduction measures and a surge in demand for used cars during the pandemic, Carvana ( NYSE:CVNA ) has defied expectations and emerged stronger than ever.
The company's journey to profitability has been anything but smooth.

(CVNA) Consolidation & ContinuationSubject: (CVNA) Consolidation & Continuation
I've now updated my charting to further reflect my ongoing hypothesis regarding Carvana (CVNA) which points towards consolidation and continuation. Based on multiple key factors, I believe we have reached the presumed bottom of the large pullback on the 4hr timeframe.(ZigZag printed). The top was formed on 12/20/23 at the $62 price target and has since retraced to key Fibonacci levels at the $40 price level. Where it then tested and formed the bottom low on 01/17/2024 at $40.70.
Once price action reached these key levels (golden zone) we saw a pretty immediate shift towards the upside where it has continued to consolidate. I believe CVNA will continue to build liquidity at the $40-$50 price range before retesting resistance closer to the beginning of February. Price has also found support right at the VWAP (White) and is trading above the 200 day moving average (Red). Once the price is able to break above resistance bands at the $50 level, I believe we'll see further consolidation/continuation towards historical resistance at $62.
Both the MacD and RSI indicators support consolidation as well as incremental continuation over the coming weeks. I have continued to profit on cash-secured puts at the $40-$42 price levels. I still believe CVNA is a strong value buy right now at its current levels. Analysts have revised price targets to remain at $60, which further support the aforementioned outcomes. The key factors driving continuation will be CVNA financials, which will be reported on 02/22/2024 - I expect results to the be middle of the road.
Please let me know your thoughts - I'll continue to update as time progresses. Cheers!

CVNA: Strategic Leap Amid High Short InterestCarvana Co. (NYSE:CVNA) , a revolutionary platform for buying and selling used cars online, attracts investors' attention, including due to a significant volume of short sales (short interest). This high short interest indicates that many traders expect the company's stock price to fall, which in turn may create potential for a sharp rise in stock price in case of positive changes in fundamental indicators or corporate news.
Carvana is known for its innovative approach to selling used cars, offering buyers a convenient and fully digital purchase process without the need to visit a dealership. Despite challenges related to regulatory standards and competition, the company has demonstrated the ability to adapt and grow, expanding its geographic presence and range of services.
It's important to note that Carvana has invested significant resources in optimizing its operations and improving the customer experience, which may contribute to increased sales volumes and improved financial indicators in the near future. These factors, combined with a high level of short interest, create a foundation for potential sharp increases in stock price in case of positive news or better-than-expected performance results.
A short squeeze could occur if Carvana publishes strong quarterly results or achieves significant successes in its strategic initiatives, forcing investors with short positions to cover their bets by buying shares, which will further increase demand and stock price.
Investors considering CVNA as a potential investment asset should weigh both the opportunities and risks associated with high levels of short sales and market volatility. However, for those who believe in the long-term strategy and innovative approach of Carvana, the current market situation may offer interesting investment opportunities amid potential market fluctuations.
Is Carvana Driving Higher?Carvana has consolidated since last summer, but now it may be driving higher again.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline along the peaks of December and January. CVNA pushed through it this week, which may suggest a breakout has begun.
Second, the online car seller bottomed slightly above a December weekly close of $40.26. Is that level new support?
Third, the stock has held its 50- and 100-day simple moving averages. That may suggest the longer-term trend is bullish.
Its 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) also crossed above its 21-day EMA. That may suggest the short-term trend is bullish.
Next, tighter readings on Bollinger Band Width may create the potential for price expansion.
Finally, MACD has turned positive.

CVNA:NYSE will reach $130-$135 in 2024NYSE:CVNA CVNA:NYSE will reach $130-$135 in 2024.
Given the market signals outlined below for CARVANA CO. (CVNA:NYSE) on the weekly chart (W1):
1. RSI convergence
2. Gradual narrowing of the price channel
3. Substantial volume observed in bottom fishing
4. Decreased volume during recent corrections
The CVNA stock exhibits indications that suggest a potential attainment of the price range between 130-135 by the year 2024.
Looking bullish on CVNA very soon!
As you can see here we have NYSE:CVNA on the 4 hour chart. We have 4 confluences, we have the 200 MA, support, a demand zone and we are trending upwards on the weekly all showing we shall go up. Now, all I am looking for is a strong green heikin ashi candlestick to break this trendline with valid volume. I would be targeting the nearest supply zone around the 49 dollar area. I do not set an actual TP but I do set a 50% SL. But of course only risk what you are willing to lose and swing trading is very risky. I would look to swing trade this stock to the upside! Thank you as always and please feel free to like, share, and comment on this post! Until next time, God bless.
CVNA Long after completed Fib. RetracementCVNA on a 30 minute chart trended up from November post earnings for 6-7 weeks until
December 20th and then started falling from a head and shoulders pattern at the pivot.
The Fib retracement tool is used to draw the retracement of the prior up trend. The Trend
Based Fib Time is used on that prior up trend to show fib levels across time instead of price.
Price is currently at the 0.5 Fib retracement for price and also at 0.5 for the latter tool.
The other indicators show rising RSI, a flip between positive and negative directional indices
and volatility beyond the running mean. I will take a long trade here targeting 52.3 which is
just under a 0.5 fib retracement of the recent trend down. The stop loss will be set
at 42.8 at the level of the reversal narrow-ranged candles. A option trade will be entertained
for the February monthly expiration.
Carvana ready to fulfill a true cup & handle breakout over $57Looks like CVNA is ready to breakout in a cup/ handle. Everyone said that it broke out already and is now dying down. But the final handle/ falling wedge is showing signs of a breakout. I posted this at $42 last week but re-emphasizing at $44. As long as you hedge you're not late.
You can capitalize on both ups and downs if you have insurance (hedge).
