Is Micron Losing its Mojo?Micron Technology has steadily climbed this year, but now there could be signs of exhaustion.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the rising trendline along the lows of December, March, August and September. Prices have pushed back toward this support, which may suggest it’s getting ready to break.
Next is the falling resistance that began in mid-September. This creates a triangle when combined with the rising trendline, which is a potential reversal pattern.
Third, MU rallied above its Tuesday high on Wednesday before rolling over. The result was a bearish outside day -- another potential reversal pattern.
Fourth, the outside candle spanned the 50- and 100-day simple moving average (SMAs). It also touched the 8- and 21-day exponential moving average (EMAs). That may suggest it’s become neutral over multiple time frames. Could a new direction begin?

MU trade ideas
MU Micron Technology Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven't bought MU here:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MU Micron Technology prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 75usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2024-1-19,
for a premium of approximately $3.37.
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.
Micron Tech forming a flag?MU is very interesting to me at the moment, it's currently formed a flag and as you can see in the chart we have had a steady up trend across the board in both price, RSI and MACD.
You could argue MACD has already broken out of a triangle type formation to the upside even.
The risk-to-reward ratio is quite good, you can place a trade with a stop loss just under the flag and it gives you almost a 9:1 RR. With a more liberal stop loss, you are still
looking at an R:R of almost 3:1.
The main concern here is if the tech sector start lagging in general, this could easily lag with it. Which is why I am inclined to buy the breakout and not the flag formation.
Cheers
MU Micron in a good momentum to break resistance VPA shows a huge accumulation area, ascending wedge upwards, breaking resistance at 64-65, first time to see price not immediately gapping down. I believe a good place to take a Long position for one good push before we get into some form of stagflation.

MU has formed a very nice base and is breaking outCall it what you want, double bottom, triple bottom, possible cup and handle... Resistance has now turned into support. Now the question is, how impulsive will this rally be, or are we going to consolidate further during the summer and create a handle?
The measured move of the triangle/double bottom hasn't been reached which leads me to think this might become a cup and handle pattern in the weeks/months to come. But who knows, we could also go straight up from here.
I will be willing to add shares to my long position on Micron in the low 60s. 62-63$ would be a good place to buy more shares if the stock has a correction this summer. There is a macro 2.618 fib level at around 59.20 on the log scale but it has already been consolidated on and backtested as support. There is a chance we might revisit it this summer, but we could also make a higher low a couple of dollars higher.
On the monthly timeframe there is some interesting stuff to note:
The 62-63 dollar level coincides with a macro trendline and the bottom of the weekly EMA ribbon. The top of this ribbon is at around 68$ which is our support right now. If we overshoot the 62-63 dollar level to the downside, I expect 59$ to hold. If it doesn't then we could go as low as 44$ but I do not think this is the most likely scenario.
Keep in mind this is a long term swing trade/investment idea. I don't scalp or do options/leverage trading. I try to buy good companies for the long run when they are undervalued by the markets.

resistance = support pattern on MU 🔥trying to hold strong trend support, grey zone was resistance for 6 months then flipped to support recently 👀 this setups always bullish I doubt we go much lower 💯
break of local trend resistance/66.76 and we should see a nice rally.. PT 1: 74.24 PT 2: 81+🚀
boost and follow for more.. thanks ❤
MU long positionOn the chart we can see that the price is respecting the downsloping support.
We got one fakeout to the upside but eventually the price came back into the formation.
It the support holds, we expect that the price will break the resistance and then we should see an impulsive move to the upside.
We can entry long once the price breaks above the resistance . To avoid trading the fakeout, look for a volume increase.
Approx. target is shown on the chart.
