High Base Setup:
Financials have a +1 outlook this week and JPM has had a nice run higher the last few weeks. It's made it to 135 which was one of my resistance points and now looks like it's basing here in this area. I decided to get in now, even though we need to see a minimum of 5 days basing, just because it's had a lot of good upwards momentum. Either way, it should base here in this area before making its way higher. Not setting up for any stops since im positioned for max loss. My 140 target was determined by going back to the end of March and saw that it based in this 140 area last time. Could be a small supply and demand zone again which is why I decided to put this trade on for a week, worse case I'll have the 136 strike until next Friday
Trade Setup:
This recently made a new swing high and is currently trading above it's 50-day SMA. Although the consolidation has not yet brought this back to the 9-Day EMA,, I should have waited for it to catch up to the stock. I think I'll still have enough time anyways. The last three days it's consolidated somewhat in a range of relatively equal pivot highs & lows. Volume has been trending down the last 3 days as well.
T.E.S.T.
So Ideally I'd want this to make it to 140 by late Thursday or Friday to reach its apex. If it pulls back, I'll have another week. My entry was at 135 and have no stop cause I'm set up for max loss.
Profit Score:
Potential 5.00
ATR 3.16
Score 1.58
Stock Outlook:
+1
Trade Management:
If this gets' to 140 by Thursday afternoon or Friday morning, I'll close it out. If it pulls back, I'll have the 136 Strike until next Friday. I'll consider a re-entry if it turns out to be a Bull Pull Back.
