VERIZON - Price picking upFrom the chart/technical analysis; we can see that the price is in between the 38.2% and 50% Fibinacci support levels which mean in a correction phase. Next price target will be around $49.39. Information from the Bollinger bands, Stochastic and the 50 EMA seems that an uptrend is starting to picking up. The company will issue it's first-quarter results on the of 24th April. That is when volatility comes in and the outcome is unknown. I'll keep an eye before taking any trades.

VZ trade ideas
Verizon to surprise on the upsideVerizon's April earnings report and the reversal of the recent market correction will be the catalysts to drive up the share price as analysts acknowledge these bullish variables:
- Future growth opportunities in 5G technology (a game-changer)
- Ongoing financial benefits of tax reform
- Net neutrality positive impact in telecom
Not very sure about VerizonTouching SMA200 now, looking for support. If support holds, a trend channel has successfully been formed.
RSI making higher lows.
Positive MACD crossover
Price breakout from a negative formation around 49, but fell a little afterwards.
Waiting to get confirmation that SMA200 holds and trend channel is formed. Setting an alert at close price above 50. If price cross 50, I get in.

Verizon tests resistance line at 50% fib retracement- short termVZ has had a good run, while other tech stocks plummet, VZ seems to be holding on to its lead. This is the third time it battles with the $50 mark, while it's latest cycle downward has bounced and hit this resistance line. If resistance is broken and VZ actually closes above the 50%, we can see good upward movement. However, expect stock to linger, perhaps another dip, as it struggles to gain traction at this level.
Next level up, short term would be $51.49. Next level down we would see a retrace back to $46.15 ish. I'm purchasing more on the dip, if it comes.
October 19 Earnings: Verizon Communications: Recovery TimeThe company has been under immense pressure overcoming spectrum crunch and stiff competition in a saturated market.
Verizon's purchase of Yahoo!'s services will allow the company to boost its online offerings and penetrate a new market.
The company's new prepaid offering will aid revenue streams as well.
Weaknesses in the company is impact from Hurricane season with decreased services output.
A further weakness is the still saturated market with stiff competition forcing lower prices.
I believe the company's turnaround phase is in full effect and the company should report a solid beat.
I'm starting Verizon with a $52.50 PT for the post-earnings move.
