CRM trade ideas
CRM, Nice upside to ATH breakoutDisclaimer: not financial advice.
The last earnings established a nice support (green rectangle) and prevented another swing to the downside of -2.0 Standard Deviations (the lowest blue line).
I think we are straddling a few nice lines that will make for a good move real soon.
The gray rectangle is where we have All Time Highs (ATHs). This has been a safe resistance/selling area in the past. Eyeballs are on this line.
As described in earlier paragraph, the last ER generated the green trend line of support. This was an important area of support because it also came at the -1.0 Stdev area. In fact, we did not even break it. The most predictable move was probably to the downside and there was enough strength to reverse that trend.
I like to clone Bar Patterns from past scenarios that looked similar. The red bars were taken from January 2019 when CRM broke to the upside and the red-dotted line (Linear Regression, 500days) became Support. I like how this bar pattern matches up nicely to some resistance at +1.0 Stdevs and support at the green line.
The bar pattern also runs up to the +2.0 Stdevs line right at the next Earnings. I would say there's a lot more risk to the downside at that date but perhaps something like a Straddle into earnings would make sense.
I also like to watch the Fisher Transform and Stochastics for some confirmation. These both look like they do not want to exit their "overbought" territories, perhaps extending a run upwards.
It feels like a breakout of ATH would be imminent and if so would create a nice squeeze up.
Salesforce.com Had a Cup and Handle. Is a Breakout Next?Salesforce.com is a classic growth stock, with high multiples but also steady expansion of its products over time. It's exactly the kind of company cited by William O'Neil in How to Make Money in Stocks .
That classic trading book teaches readers about the "cup and handle" pattern that often occurs in secular-growth stocks. It's a high basing formation following a big rally. O'Neil's technique is to watch for smaller pullbacks to produce a tighter range, looking for a potential breakout to new highs.
CRM may have that potential setup now -- especially when you look at the October low (above $140) versus the August low (around $138). That was followed by another higher low at the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) around $156. A "golden cross" pattern occurred around the same time in early December.
CRM's fundamentals have been solid, with strong results the last two quarters and the potential for synergies after acquiring Tableau Software. CRM is also on pace for a bullish outside week (higher high and lower low), plus its highest weekly close ever.

Overhead Resistance BreakoutOverhead resitance breakout would herald a continuation of long term uptrend hence basis for good entry point.
$CRM Bearish Shooting star with volume targeting 158.5Bearish shooting star candlesticks pattern . Next following candle expected to be long red or other small doji then drop . Its more likely to pullback to 0.62 fib at 158.5 from current level at 164.6
CRM - possible long swing trade as $SPX pushes higherSalesforce has twice before made strong 100% moves, after breaking of 2+ years of sideways range consolidations. These moves coincided with the $SPX breaking out higher in 2012 and late 2016.
Watching for a CRM monthly close above $165.35 and hold above that level for possible start of third run up. Another equal 100% move target would be just above $330.
CRM - SALESFORCE - SHORT SETUP USING PUTSMETHOD: Short SALESFORCE {price at entry 156.40} via :
+2 CRM 20 DEC 19 160 PUT @4.40 ; Trading with 0.75 of extrinsic value, well in the money.
STRATEGIES: Using CRM day chart :
The 20/50 Mean started a crossing downward pattern, and we can look for a new red cloud to form for a short.
The Fisher Transform bounce signal has failed and is now showing a continuation short near a critical support price.
TACTICS: The plan in terms of stock price :
STOP is price > 160
TGT1 153 scale; TGT2 148.75 to exit
Trail option price to Break Even once stock price < 154; OR consider scaling as red cloud becomes large
You may let the Fisher Transform and 20/50 mean together take you out technically for whatever you get win or lose.

Salesforce uncertainty pre earnings Earnings approach tomorrow in what is a very poor start to the month in the markets, CRM carries a lot of weight into those earnings with the lofty P/E ratio and investors may very well question the CEO's quest for morals over profit. All very well if you can afford it.
The stock has rolled over recently having failed to take out the old time high, a break to highs is a much better region to look for entry rather than this level between resistance and support.

CRM - New ATH comingCRM - Weekly chart here. That's a nice breakout. I somehow missed it. Cloud stocks are showing nice reversals. Breaking 160 will confirm the trend to new ATH. NYSE:CRM
