OKTA bullish momentum trade into earningsOKTA's trend is bullish and has been for quite sometime. OKTA grew its revenue by 60% last year (2018). That’s a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies, especially in the cloud space and SSO. And the share price has responded, gaining 126% in the last 12 months. OKTA has reacted bullish more than bearish on earnings historically.
Currently the market is holding a nice tight uptrend after making successive new ATHs. Based on the price action the last few weeks and few days, it appears OKTA would like to continue higher in the low to mid $90 region either before or post ER.
This is a high risk setup. However, price is making higher hows and higher lows as you would like to see in a bullish trade.
The trade is entering May $80 calls at $12.40 (stop-limit) with a stop loss of $10.40. Max loss of $200 per contract. The plan is to take profit before the ER if price reaches $92-$93 otherwise will considering holding over ER for the upper 1.618 fib target and higher. But first let's clear $88 ahead of earnings.
Let's see what happens this week :-).
