MU: Gap, Pause, Run?
Someone recently showed me this 'simple strategy' and I've had some success with it. The idea is, a stock gaps up big, like MU did on this chart back in March and again on September 26th. After the gap up you watch for a pause. The pause can be a day, few days, or even a week, doesn't matter. If the stock falls back down and closes the gap (or get's close), the trade idea is over. But if it trades sideways for a bit and then breaks above the high of the initial gap up candle, in this case 114.80 on 9/26, you enter.
Entry: above 114.80
Volume: strong volume
Target: no target, close the trade when price closes below the 5 or 10 Moving Average.
Stop: depends on your risk tolerance; My plan is the low of the gap up candle, in this case 107.53.
This LONG swing trade idea is not trade advice and is strictly based on my ideas and technical analysis. No due diligence or fundamental analysis was performed while evaluating this trade idea. Do not enter a trade based on my idea, do not follow anyone blindly, do your own analysis and due diligence. I am not a professional trader.
