Pendulum pick for KR - short tgt 44I have many tens of thousands of dollars worth of home renovations to do, so why not ask my dowsing/spirit team to help find me a stock that can help PAY for these expenses and then some?
I'm a dowser, btw, so all my ideas & levels come from this form of information gathering. So woo woo ;)
The pick is from all of NYSE, so it's a lot. I'll admit, when I've done this in the past I've seen stocks have way better moves faster & I'm like, "why didn't you give me THAT one?!"
Regardless, I'm not going to disrespect the guidance, but just try to be more pointed in my intention. I did ask for this one to be a quick move, but I don't think it will be.
I do, however, have good confidence the target will hit. I did not look at the chart before I finished the reading & had a target. It's a way to see how accurate the level & info might be, so I was definitely happy the chart & levels look reasonable. It's literally at a multi year high & the dowsing said it's at a swing high.
Out the gate on this reading, it was saying swing trade short, & soon. It might get up to 69.
Anyway, when I ask about the 44 level (tgt), twice I get that the "target is reached". I tried to get the amount of time this takes & got the months around May/June as an exit, but it could easily be a few months. It's a 36% drop from 69 if it reaches there.
I drew the trendlines just to see how it behaves there. Maybe that'll help as a confirmation/trigger to short since it has been relatively strong.
That's it. Hopefully, this can pay some bills!!

Quantum's KR Trading Guide 4/11/25
KR (Kroger Company)
Sentiment
• Analysis: Market sentiment for KR is neutral leaning bullish. Post-close options activity on April 10 shows balanced put/call volume, with slight call dominance at strikes near $69, suggesting cautious optimism. RSI (14) at the April 10 close (estimated ~60 based on recent uptrend to $67.96) indicates momentum without overbought conditions, supporting a potential continuation. Anonymized X chatter highlights speculation on grocery sector stability amid tariff uncertainties, with some noting KR’s domestic focus as a hedge against import risks. A potential liquidity sweep above recent highs ($68.76) could signal institutional buying, setting up a reversal to the upside.
Catalyst: Watch for a sweep above $68.76 triggering bullish momentum, driven by retail investor interest on X.
Tariff Impact - Rating: Minimal.
• Explanation: KR’s exposure to tariffs is limited due to its primarily domestic supply chain and focus on U.S.-sourced goods. While imported specialty products could face cost pressures, these are a small fraction of revenue. No tariff relief or escalation was announced on April 10, so sentiment remains stable. Fundamentals are unaffected, but speculative X posts suggest tariff fears could cap upside unless clarity emerges.
News/Catalysts
• No specific company news on April 10, but sector strength in consumer staples drove modest gains, with KR benefiting from defensive positioning amid broader market volatility. X posts noted KR as a “safe play” in uncertain times.
• Upcoming: CPI Data (Today, April 11): Stronger-than-expected CPI could pressure consumer staples (-1% move) as investors rotate to cyclicals; weaker CPI could boost KR (+2%) as a defensive name.
• Retail Sales (April 15): Robust data may signal consumer strength, lifting KR (+1.5%); weak data could hurt (-1%) due to spending concerns.

Kroger (KR): Digital Grocery Growth Fuels Market PositionKroger Company (KR) is one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S., operating supermarkets, multi-department stores, and digital shopping platforms. With a strong focus on fresh food, private-label products, and digital expansion, Kroger continues to attract customers through competitive pricing and convenience. As demand for grocery delivery and online shopping rises, Kroger is leveraging its logistics network and technology investments to drive future growth.
The stock chart recently displayed a confirmation bar with rising volume, pushing the price into the momentum zone, which occurs when it moves above the 0.236 Fibonacci level. This signals strong investor confidence and suggests the potential for continued upside as buying interest strengthens.
A trailing stop is a trading strategy that helps secure profits while allowing a stock to continue trending higher. Unlike a traditional stop-loss, which remains fixed, a trailing stop moves up with the stock, locking in gains while keeping the trade open for further upside. Fibonacci levels can be useful for setting trailing stops, as they often act as key support areas during an uptrend. By placing a stop near Fibonacci retracement levels, traders can stay in the trade while managing risk if momentum slows.
Why the crowd loses and believers win: positioning > analyzingcame across this while looking at this for a family friend who has worked at Kroger for 20 years and now has a massive amount of Kroger stock
While looking up the employee program I found this message board on the Kroger forums
Someone was looking to get into the employee stock program and the only responses were how absolutely dumb the person was for trying to go long
those ppl felt justified because Kroger had gone pretty much down only for 5 years. Turns out that was the literal best time to buy and kroger has gone basically up only from that point.
just interesting to see how easy it is for the right analysis leads to wrong conclusions.
At the end of the day the only way to really make it is to build a position and then believe.
KR Trending Higher: Potential Move to 67.20NYSE:KR is trading within a well-defined uptrend supported by a rising trendline, signaling strong bullish momentum. The price has consistently respected the trendline, reinforcing the structure of higher highs and higher lows, which aligns with the trend continuation narrative.
I anticipate that if the stock maintains its upward momentum, it could move toward the 67.20 level. This setup aligns with the broader bullish trend, supported by a clear breakout and sustained strength above the trendline.
Let me know your thoughts or if you see the setup differently!
KR Kroger 24hr potterboxesKR Kroger 24hr potterboxes. well Kroger is taking its sweet time to go up but it will go up mind you. its on the floor of the smaller box $58.40 its going sideways right now so we just sit and watch and see where it goes. If it breaks thru the small box the next stop would be $57.84 ish happy trading.
Kroger Pulls BackKroger jumped to a new record high one month ago, and now dip buyers may eye its recent pullback.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the April high of $58.34. The grocery chain tested $0.01 below it last week before stabilizing. Has old resistance become new support?
Second, the recent trough continued a series of higher weekly lows running all the way back to September.
Speaking of September, that’s when KR’s 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossed above its 100-day SMA. Both are rising and above the 200-day SMA. That configuration could indicate a new uptrend has taken shape.
Finally, stochastics are turning up from an oversold condition.

Kroger: Bearish Crab with an Ascending Broadening WedgeKroger has formed an Ascending Broadening Wedge and blasted pass the 1.618 PCZ leading to an ultimate test of the 1.902 HOP level, now KR is trading below the PCZ and has tested it as resistance multiple times this year and has broken below the Demand Line of an Ascending Broadening Wedge. From here out I think the target will be a minimum of $22.32 which would be the 0.886 fibonacci retrace but it could go as low as $17.37 as that would be the standard target of the Ascending Broadening Wedge.
In addition to that, the PPO may soon break below its Demand Line.

KR a food sector leader for a safe modest trade LONGKR in early August rose from its usual range into a head and shoulders from which
it trended down into its present lower base. I see this as a good setup for a long
trade to reach to and possibly beyond the mid Fibonacci retracement levels also
confluent with horizontal R/S lines drawn from the pivots to the left. I will take
the very safe long trade taking partials at the levels above as drawn onto the chart
with 30% at the 1st and 2nd partials and 20% for the 3rd and last. I will also
take a trade in some call options. If you would like my idea of the best calls
in my opinion, please leave a comment.
KROGER Stock Chart Fibonacci Analysis 082023 Trading Idea
1) Find a FIBO slingshot
2) Check FIBO 61.80% level
3) Entry Point > 47.7/61.80%
Chart time frame : B
A) 15 min(1W-3M)
B) 1 hr(3M-6M)
C) 4 hr(6M-1year)
D) 1 day(1-3years)
Stock progress : B
A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance
B) 61.80% resistance
C) Hit the bottom
D) Hit the top
Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern.
When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point.
As a great help, tradingview provide these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved.
If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks.
If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.
