4CRWD trade ideas
How secured is the cyberworld today ?From fake news to scams and companies leakage of data and important information being hacked, the online world will faced increasing threats!
And I was thinking the more online and connected the world becomes, the more important is cybersecurity as there are experts that build things and also experts that destroy things as well. This dark side must be protected so that things can function properly.
I am bullish on this counter and wait for the right opportunity to nibble in small positions as it falls further.
Long CRWD - Exiting Complex Correction into Wave 3 CRWD has been in a squeeze-like range for roughly a month following the run up beginning mid-December. IMO it will exit the current expanding wedge and into Wave 3 with my PT at $73.46. Above $65 I'm long via calls. It could retest the bottom Trend Line before pushing higher. This is a well-known name and an increasingly institutionally-owned name. As always due your own due-dilligence!

2020 TurnaroundWith ARR coming in at 97% growth last quarter, Crowdstrike deserves the growth premium in my view. They have a leading position in their industry, and we have seen some solid volume support post most recent earnings. It looks to have been dragged down unfairly in the 2019 IPO wave, but the fundamentals tell a different story. Jumping into this one while sentiment is low.
