Target CorporationI opened a long position in this stock today for a possible long-term play to close the downward gap that happened last May 2022. As we all knew, the stock has gapped down after the company reported lower-than-expected earnings in the 2nd quarter of this year. Since then, the company's stock has been range trading between 140-ish to 180-ish levels.
As you can see in my chart above, the stock has re-tested a key resistance level at 180 and it has bounced back from a higher low ever since.
I placed my key support levels between 144-152 while my key resistance level is at 180
In Spite OfTGT has bounced up again after 3 earnings misses in a row!
I'm thinking maybe it is time to "let it go"
I suppose there are plenty of people out there who love this stock no matter what their earnings are!
If or when the market turns down again, this one may pay the piper.
Ascending triangle noted as the bottom trendline is sloping up.
This s a neutral pattern until broken and ascending triangles break down just like descending triangle break to the upside.
I am not a TGT lover, but I do know times are tough. A super well run company adjusts to the environment in my opinion.
But that si just my opinion and we all have one.
I have not studied earnings estimates by analysts and whether they are soft or not. It seems that sometimes they cut a company a break with very low numbers to beat, so they beat and everyone and their brother buys it on the earning's beat. Yet the numbers are lower, sometimes very much lower than last quarter.
No recommendation but I would short this at the right entry level
$TGT TRADE IDEA bearish bias will be looking to enter puts once we break that entry for puts on the week. Once we break the quarterly 3-1-2 continuation to the downside we will have full time frame continuity to the downside, keeping this on my radar. Just because it says entry for puts on the 4hr and D doesnt mean im entering puts at that point those are just my labels for horizontal lines so i know what im looking at FYI. #TheStrat
Target - Corporate earnings season resemblant of the bear marketYesterday, Target announced its earnings for the third quarter of 2022. The report outlined softening sales and profit trends with downgraded guidance going forward. Total revenue and cost of sales increased year over year, while net earnings and EPS fell dramatically for that same period. Subsequently, shares of Target fell more than 13% in the pre-market trading. Target is yet another company that fulfills our prediction about a weak corporate earnings season and progression into the second phase of the bear market. We expect this trend to worsen in the next earning season and further enforce our thesis.
Total revenue = $26.518 billion (+3.4% YoY)
Cost of sales = $19.680 billion (+8.1% YoY)
GAAP Earnings per share = $1.54 (-49.3% YoY)
Operating income = $1.022 billion (-49.2% YoY)
Net earnings = $712 million (-52.1% YoY)

Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI and Stochastic reversed to the downside. MACD flattens, and if it breaks below 0 points, it will bolster the bearish case. DM+ and DM- performed a bearish crossover. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic show signs of exhaustion. DM+ and DM- are bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish.

Target With A "Bullseye"?Target With A "Bullseye"?
I've identified a falling wedge pattern on Target's daily chart. Also, the RSI indicator shows higher highs and higher lows.
Short float % for TGT was at 2.02% at time of this post.
TGT is a good candidate for a swing. I have my "Bullseye" above 159 or at the break of the upper trendline.

Target Could Be Breaking a TriangleTarget gapped lower on weak earnings four months ago. Now it may be showing signs of the bearish trend continuing.
The main pattern on the retailer is a converging squeeze between the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 100-day SMA. This has produced something of a triangle that TGT is now breaking to the downside.
Today’s chart also features our 2 MA Ratio study with the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the 21-day EMA. The line just turned red, which indicates the fast EMA is below the slow EMA. That could also suggest the shorter-term momentum has turned bearish again.

2X $TGT 4HR Tech. Analysis!Target is at an area where it could be two possibilities. Number 1 being that it forms a hook pattern and rejects off the .786 or the golden are and dives down to $152 which is probable to happen but after it the formation plays out it reverses so i see that area as another buy opportunity! Number 2 it could break that zone and form a rounding bottom and take off to fill the gaps! Be patient trade with volume and confirmation!
2X $TGT TP1 HIT for $$9.50! (+5%)$TGT has earnings coming up and a huge +20% gap to fill, which would be a +$35 move for this week to come or even leading into next week! Price has broken resistance and is making a bullish move to the upside to fill that gap it seems! Patience is key! wait for confirmations & ride the trend!
TGT: Bullish outlook!Target

Further upside is expected although we prefer to set longs at our bespoke support levels at 170.00, resulting in improved risk/reward.
Our profit targets will be 199.21 and 210.00
Resistance: 200.00 / 210.00 / 250.00
Support: 170.00 / 140.00 / 90.00

Earnings 8-17//A Beat Can Depend on How Low the Number Is?We sure are having a lot of earning beats as of late that are totally unexpected.
TGT is in the morning BMO.
Last quarter expectations for TGT were 2.19 a share. This quarter, expectations are .71?
WMT beat today. A bit less of a spread and last quarter the number to beat was 1.77. This quarter it was 1.27.
I suppose if you play with numbers every quarter, anyone and everyone can beat earnings?
