PANW bullish , 100% retracement then above 50% pullbackThis is what I found in most bullish and bearish retracements , once you get 100% retracement of up or down move then next level is normally 1.618. If it retrace up to 50% after 100% then it's even more bullish, if it goes under 50% after 100% then it's super bearish. Longby FibFun0

8/19/24 - $panw - r/r ambiguous at $334, sidelines into print8/19/24 :: VROCKSTAR :: NASDAQ:PANW r/r ambiguous at $334, sidelines into print - i think among the cyber names this one is the bluest of chips (notably after NASDAQ:CRWD had it's "snafu" - though i think there's more here than meets the eye and i've written about it) - 3.5% cash gen (half of that is stock comp - but gets a pass b/c the company/ leadership and stock price are up to the right). this number is better than cash yields given growth. - let's look at the expected EPS growth beyond just 24 vs 23 (because this year is over as far as how wallstreet looks at things), so 25/24 and 26/25... low teens growth. this is hardly "great" and i think part of what informs my sidelines. if it were even high teens or better 20s, i'd say "scarce and growth good enough". but what's weird here is that a beat probably raises the '24 # and to a slightly lesser extent '25 and '26 which further grow multiples on stock and looks more expensive. - on the other hand, a miss and this thing looks like it trades at 60x this year and 54x '25... which isn't cheap for these EPS growth rates in the outer years we're referring to. - so ambiguious b/c this asset for all intents and purposes *should* continue to trend higher. but the valuation requires a sizeable beat to maintain it's upward trajectory. the chart has a nice gap to fill higher in the $360s which is den in play (that's 10% higher, nothing to scoff at). on the other hand, a miss probably does a similar move. if something's truly broken or we we get a weird guide, maybe 15% off. I have a hard time understanding why this thing sells off 20%. so the risk is pretty balanced. for that reason, i typically don't like to take shots. put a gun to my head... stock is up on earnings. but it's a 6/10 conviction guess and i typically just watch these from the sidelines and act ex post. lmk if you see it differently.

Palo Alto (PANW): A Golden Pocket OpportunityPalo Alto's chart is looking particularly promising in a market where many stocks seem to be constantly soaring. These defined ranges present a strong trading opportunity, which we're closely monitoring. It appears that Palo Alto has completed its Wave (3) and is now in the midst of Wave (4). We anticipate that Wave (4) will conclude within the 38.2% to 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels, providing a potential entry point. The golden pocket around the 61.8% level is particularly intriguing, though we haven't highlighted the 50% retracement as it doesn’t align with key support levels. We see two potential scenarios for Palo Alto: a correction to the 38.2% level, meeting the support zone around $249, or a deeper retracement into the broader support area and golden pocket between $191 and $160. If we take a long position at the first support zone, we would likely move the stop loss quickly to secure the position, with plans to add to our position if the price drops further into the lower support range. For now, we're waiting on the sidelines, keeping a close watch on the upcoming earnings call. If it brings any significant news, we’ll outline our strategy for PANW.by freeguy_by_wmc2

PANW IdeaThere was some hype about this stock after the news of Nancy Pelosi getting in on the action in the options market after the infamous slam dunk on the NVDIA stock, so I decided to russell up a little exotic background for the future that might come. As you can see I don't envision a highly bullish path for this one on the longer run, it could get bumpy, but this is good news, as swings can be traded with the right pivots. Considering the background and the hype, it is possible that after any drop, the herd will dive in hoping to buy the dip. Hence, swings and bounces, even though I have a high rectangle lurking above signifying resistance. All elements in the snapshot are potential support and resistance while the curves might highlight bigger forces at play that can influence the price. If these elements are broken, the picture changes. I decided to post now because I like the setup at the green rectangle I developed right after the news of the Pelosi bet (several days ago). Since then I have been watching this stock and was wondering what will actually happen in this murky water of cybersecurity, which is a sector I am highly bullish biased on for several reasons. Happy hunting. Hope it will be as successful as the Pin Ball on Apple. That one has already 4 or 5 bounces from shapes. by UnknownUnicorn903284Updated 777

PANW Breaks Out! Chart Analysis and Trade SetupThe current situation at the company Palo Alto Networks reported robust financial results, with total revenue hitting $1.98 billion, a solid 15% year-over-year increase. Their Next-Generation Security (NGS) Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) soared to approximately $4 billion, up 47% from the previous year. These numbers underscore Palo Alto Networks' strong positioning in the cybersecurity market, fueled by increasing demand for advanced security solutions. These results highlight PANW 0.79%↑, a solid position in the cybersecurity sector amidst increasing demand for advanced security solutions. Strategically, Palo Alto Networks made significant moves, including a $500 million deal with IBM to acquire QRadar assets. This acquisition not only expands their cybersecurity offerings but also strengthens their market presence. However, the impact on revenue from this acquisition is expected to be modest for FY 2025 due to deferred revenue recognition, showcasing a careful approach to integration and financial management. Financially, PANW improved its operating margins by 200 basis points compared to last year, with operating income growing by 25%. Despite these gains, the company anticipates a slight dip in non-GAAP EPS for Q4 FY 2024, projecting earnings in the range of $1.40 to $1.42, a decrease of 1% to 3% year-over-year. Looking ahead, I remain optimistic about the rest of FY 2024. With continued growth expected in billings, revenue, and next-generation security ARR, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for cybersecurity solutions worldwide. PANW recently exhibited a classic cup-and-handle pattern, suggesting strong potential for bullish momentum. Since the end of June, the stock entered a consolidation phase, following the breakout of the handle. During this period, trading volume decreased, typical for such formations, signaling potential accumulation by institutional investors. The breakout above the handle's high at $326 was accompanied by increased trading volume, confirming the bullish continuation. PANW swiftly surged past previous highs, to further validate the pattern's signal. Looking ahead, I think there is still room for upside potential. Based on historical precedents of cup-and-handle patterns, which often lead to substantial price gains, PANW could see a continuation of its upward trajectory and fill the gap to $364.

PANW Ascending Triangle Break OutPANW has a really beautiful setup. The weekly chart shows us a inside weekly hammer candle at the highs of that mother bar. We have the rest of the gap to fill above. The daily chart provides continuous bullish price action (ascending triangle), looking to break and hold above $342.44 resistance level. If we can continue upside, I've provided some targets to go after. Looking to open some swing calls on this, Possibly $355c or $360c 7/19 exp. (short swing) If this breaks below the trend line support + below $338.48 (PDL), then this thesis is invalid.Longby AftaShock111
