EA stands at crossroadsWhen EA announced their earnings at the end of January, I expected a jump, but what occurred made me piss my pants. The stock price opened just below a previously speculated trend line. The resistance has held its ground and the gaming stock has retraced back below 125.00 level. So what is in for the future? The fundamental earnings jump has confirmed the existence of a medium scale ascending pattern (purple lines). Taking into account, where are the trend lines of the long term dominant pattern (blue lines), the stock is set for more and more gains. However, that does not necessarily mean that one should just go long on the stock. There is something much more complicated. The jump also confirmed the junior pattern (black lines). Although, after the bounce off from the medium pattern’s resistance, the junior pattern should become obsolete (it will be broken and sent to hell (or Valhalla, as it has served its purpose). Before that occurs the black channel has one last trick up its sleeve. The lower trend line of it has not been passed. Actually, the drop on Friday stopped just before reaching the support line. Due to that reason on Monday one needs to watch, whether it holds the ground or lets the stock fall down. If it lets it pass, then the range down to the support cluster that surrounds the 120 mark will be targeted. On the other hand the support might hold and propel the price into another attempt to break properly above the 130.00 mark. Meanwhile, I have conducted an experiment with the Fibonacci retracement levels. By setting the 100% mark at the low level of the black channel and the 0% at the high achieved after the earnings call, it can be seen that the first notable retracement level at 126.50 provided support to the stock. Coincidentally or not the next one is crossing the support line of the channel. Sooooo.. to be exact the 124.00 level will be on the spotlight on Monday. Yours sincerely, Y

EA Weekly Head & ShouldersLooks like EA is forming a weekly H&S with a neckline at roughly $105.50 and with the shoulders and neck at about $116 and $122.75, respectively. A few notes on the formation are listed below: 1 - The beginning of the H&S formation shows strong volume on the way up, as a good H&S pattern should, which subsides as the head is formed 2 - The fall from the neck is on strong volume, with the bounce off the neckline showing lower volume (the creation of the right shoulder). Note the RSI, CSI, and Stoch, all moving lower even though the formation is moving relatively sideways (or up if looking at the left shoulder to head). The black lines at $91.75 and $75 are my target points should EA complete the H&S pattern and break below the strong trend line that begins (on my chart) in July of 2015.

EA - Mar.'18 Exp. Put Vertical Credit SpreadTrade details: 100/90 Put Vertical Credit Spread @ $1.85 Prob. of Max Profit = 68.04% Prob. of Max Loss = 11.34% Break-even @ $98.15 84 D.T.E. Trade plan: Entry by oversold + support/resistance analysis Expecting old gap-up support level at $104.50 to hold after recovering from breakdown test on 12/04/17, until Mar.'18 expiration. RISKS: Break-even within the at-the-money straddle expected move by expiration; bid/ask spreads ~$0.23 on entry; earnings announcement before expiration. Expecting to adjust to minimize loss if price tests break-even level and consolidates. Approaching earnings date will be used as needed to roll spread - to take advantage of swollen IV - unless trade is a quick loser before then. Risky trade requires more days to work and to allow room for adequate adjustment.
