1ADSK trade ideas
Autodesk (ADSK) ..... Possible Bearish Bat Pattern (Short)AutoDesk (ADSK) has had a 38% run in April and may be vunerable if the overall
market rolls over after regaining just over .618 yesterday the the Feb/March rout.
Watch the direction of the overall market and try to extinguish a long or establish
a new short position near the top of the green box.
This a 3 hour plot so the window may be short.
That said I wouldn't be too agressive in shorting let the market tell you.
Earnings are sheduled for mid May
Good Luck

AUTODESK: ANOTHER EARNINGS DISAPPOINTMENT MIGHT BREAK THE TRENDAutodesk is a software company. It's stock rose 50% since last October. The market cap is currently 46B USD. Last year's revenue was only 2.578B USD, while the net income was a negative 80.8M USD. We were following this stock for a while and consider it overvalued. The time to go short might have arrived now. In the chart the earnings are indicated. Everytime Autodesk disappointed with the earnings and the stock dropped but recovered quite quickly.
Last earnings report on 26 Nov 2019 was 0.30 USD instead of the estimated 0.72 USD. The estimate for 27 Feb 2020 is 0.89 USD. Chances are high that Autodesk will miss the earnings estimate again. What might be different this time is the reaction. The chart, the MACD and the stochastic show that the stock hasn't dropped for months. If the earnings will disappoint again, the stock will probably drop further and for longer than after the last earnings.
I smell Crap! Earnings 12/3. SHORT THE FUCKING BITCHADSK parabolic POS sitting at bubbly all-time highs. Earnings coming up and they are pulling the same shit they did last quarter. Run it up parabolically and then drop it like its hot. This pos is running on fumes. Targeting at least a 15% haircut post-earnings. The balance sheet totally deteriorated this quarter.
Autodesk Breakout taregtEntry level $182 = Target price $194 = Stop loss $175
The stock is very bullish on fundamentals and is in the process of a technical breakout, nut the RSI is overbought so upside could be limited before a back test of breakout level.
Autodesk (ADSK) beat on earnings and beat on revenue - $824 million expected vs. $843 million, revenue growth at 27.5%.

Autodesk: Rally Off Rounded BaseI was watching ADSK before their earnings due to analysts talking about their successful conversion to a cloud based subscription model for their software similar to Adobe, and I found it a compelling story. Waiting to see how the stock reacted to earnings so I didn't bear that risk, it's continuing to look strong with plenty of buying.
The 63 day mid term moving average just crossed over the 200 day long term moving average to have them moving in tandem with the 10 and 20 day short term averages. RSI is striking upward strongly into overbought from the beginning of the month, but it's continuing with a rising accumulation line and holding the way it should with a true rally on a fast moving growth stock with big money flowing inward. ADX is showing a strong trend forming, and MACD is showing a very strong bullish divergence. ADSK is almost recovered from their August drop which was leveled out with an earnings call with this rally catalyzed with another positive earnings call. Longer term is also showing a cup base from this time last year with a handle over the last three months, and I believe that they'll hit new all time highs soon.
ADSK looks interesting hereClearly defined support and resistance in an ascending channel. If it's going to rise to around $200, it will first need to break out above a descending trendline around $167. I'd maybe put on half a position here and add more if it falls to the bottom of the channel or if it breaks out above the descending trendline.
