CRWD - Surfed my way!If you are reading this today, then you should know why this has a spotlight right now, and if not well then just follow the chart!
To the left we see there was previous resistance moving down, later turned to support , and has acted as such. With today's news, I would expect a decline. I ultimately had first seen a possible Head and Shoulders form, or has been executed already, (Funny being the news that happened), and seeing price near our previous support makes me excited to see what plays out.
Did you think today's news affected the market this way? Or did you have other tools that gave you the same idea? Share your thoughts with a comment or private message. Let's enjoy the show!

Price Precedes News Examples - CRWD NKE TSLA BTCHad some more great price precedes news lately so I thought I'd share. I talk about this topic often because I believe in it and it is why I trade the way I do. I would hope I can help some people to view the market a bit differently than the majority of retail traders. If most people lose, why would you want to do what everyone else does?

Outage of World Wide Services – CrowdstrikeHello Traders,
The latest security update from the global cybersecurity giant caused a major service disruption today, Friday. This has affected globally such that companies like Microsoft, various stock exchanges, major banks, media companies, airports and airlines in Asia-Pacific, US and Europe; payment systems, supermarket services, emergency services and 911, etc. have been affected and have had to proceed to rollback the failed update on Windows servers. From the Australian opening to the European opening there have been disruptions in both stock markets. The London Stock Exchange has started its session with delays.
If we look at Crowdstrike's chart we can see how the firm has been climbing positions since October 2023. During this month of July, the firm has been falling to the previous resistance zone in the area of $343.05, it is possible that after today's security debacle its value will be affected at the American opening. Looking at the RSI currently at 35.14% which could lead to another correction and a possible return to the mean from 30% if we follow the technical thinking. The volume bell with a triple bell shape places the most traded area in the $150 zone, so we could anticipate a correction, before the search for new highs.
How far do you think the correction will affect? I look forward to your comments

$CRWD and $PANW on watch for breakout next weekThis past week was a strong momentum swing for the technology sector ( AMEX:XLK ) reaching all-time highs. The leading cybersecurity stocks NASDAQ:CRWD and NASDAQ:PANW broke highs in June and have been trading sideways ever since, setting up for another run at highs. We've seen good steady volume throughout the previous week, supporting a strong break to the upside. Remember that the Fed will be releasing CPI data next week which could destabilize overall market conditions. Another thing to note is that NASDAQ:QQQ is overextended and could be due for a pullback. Regardless of these conditions, if the technology sector continues to prevail next week, keep a close eye on these two stocks for breakouts.
CRWD Hammer-Counter-Shooter Weekly Break OutPeep that weekly.. look like a familiar set up? Another ascending triangle, but with an inside hammer-counter-shooter set up, adds to bullish conviction.
Daily chart, we are looking to get above $390.71 with a solid close above, for continued upside. I would first aim for $393.29 (PWH) to take profit, and see if we can break above $394.64 resistance for all time highs.

CrowdStrike Holdings. Post-Earnings Call to 600CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. is an American cybersecurity technology company based in Austin, Texas. It provides cloud workload and endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services.
CrowdStrike shares surged in late trading Tuesday after the security software company posted better-than-expected financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan. 31. The company also offered guidance for both the April quarter and the January 2025 fiscal year that topped Wall Street estimates.
CrowdStrike was up 22% in after-hours trading following the results.
For the January quarter, CrowdStrike posted revenue of $845.3 million, up 33% from the year earlier quarter, beating Wall Street's consensus as tracked by FactSet of $839 million. Annual recurring revenue rose 34% from a year ago, to $3.44 billion.
On an adjusted basis, the company earned 95 cents a share in the quarter, well ahead of the Street consensus at 82 cents. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the company earned 22 cents.
For the April quarter, the company expects revenue of between $902.2 million and $905.8 million, with adjusted profits of 89 to 90 cents a share, ahead of Wall Street's consensus for $900 million in revenue and adjusted profits of 82 cents a share.
CrowdStrike projects revenue for the January 2025 fiscal year of $3.925 billion to $3.989 billion, with adjusted profits of $3.77 to $3.97 a share; Analysts have been calling for $3.938 billion in revenue and profits of $3.76 a share.
In a statement, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said that "customers favor our single platform approach...CrowdStrike is cybersecurity's consolidator of choice, innovator of choice and platform of choice to stop breaches."
That statement appears aimed at rival Palo Alto Networks, which recently said it was " facing spending fatigue in cybersecurity."
Palo Alto is making an aggressive "platformization push," in some cases offering to give features away for free in the short-run to capture more customer IT spending budget in the long run.
Technical chart illustrates potential target can be in $500 - 600 range, that is 40 to 60 per cent above even post-earnings robust surge.
CRWD - 3 months CUP & HANDLE══════════════════════════════
Since 2014, my markets approach is to spot
trading opportunities based solely on the
development of
CLASSICAL CHART PATTERNS
🤝Let’s learn and grow together 🤝
══════════════════════════════
Hello Traders ✌
After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that:
- it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment;
- since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant;
- the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts;
For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart.
Thank you all for your support
🔎🔎🔎 ALWAYS REMEMBER
"A pattern IS NOT a Pattern until the breakout is completed. Before that moment it is just a bunch of colorful candlesticks on a chart of your watchlist"
