Macys ( M ) Pre-earnings Long

As can be seen on the 2H chart, Macy's last earnings on June 5th was afavorble beat

resulting in first an uptrend and then a sideways price movement for a month and

a half. Earnings are expected on 8/22/23. Price has had dynamic support at the mean VWAP

anchored in April while the dynamic resistance has been two standard deviations above that

represented by the thin red line. Price is currently midway between resistance and support.

Additional support is the POC line ( with the highest trading volumes ) of the volume profile

beginning at the prior earnings date. Overall I see this as an opportunity to take an options

trade with an expiration a couple of weeks after expected earnings to strike the thin red line

of dynamic resistance at 17 expiring September 1st. Depending on price action in the days

leading up to earnings I may take off half the contracts if they are in decent profit while

letting the other half run through the post earnings period figuring that M could repeat

and jump after earnings.
