PETS trade ideas
Trade Journal - Long $PETS - First Flag - 2/20/20Trying going long PETS again since stopping out last week. PETS has been within a beautiful consolidation pattern right above the Cup & Handle breakout pattern on the daily chart. PETS is holding the 20DMA and is coiling tightly at highs. I entered within the consolidation as PETS sprung from the support this morning and back near the breakout zone.
Entry - 28.41
Stop Loss - 27.40
Target - 33.00
Trade Journal: Long $PETS -2/11/2020PETS recently broke out of a Cup and Handle pattern while holding the 50MA. There was good volume on the breakout yesterday however today PETS pulled back and hammered off the breakout point. I took the opportunity to go long PETS within this pullback. This is a clean Cup & Handle setup with a clean line of resistance. I also like the fact PETS already announced earnings this quarter therefore there is a lot of time for natural price movement to occur.
Entry - 28.61
Stop Loss - 27.48
Target - 33

PETS Put SalePETS had a good gap down on earnings. They beat earnings, raised their dividend from .20 to .25 but traded down on their guidance. It is bouncing off the 20EMA a bit intraday. I do not mind owning shares down at $40 which is almost another 20% down, past the 50EMA/prior support, and would be right at the 100 SMA as well as more support. Let's see how it works.
