Short

SPLK popped on earnings. Can it continue?

SPLK had a very impressive beat on earnings and traders responded with buying pressure

to push price up more than 15%. The question now is whether SPLK can sustain the

new interest or will it fade or drop. My analysis is that best on the short term volume

profile compared with the longer term is that there was a lot of trading at the top as

new but late buyers competed with short sellers on price and so the price rise stalled.

As a result I see price consolidated here and suspect that short sellers will push price

down from here. I will have SPLK on watch for a stock short trade and put options as

it is apparent that traders overreacted to the earnings beat. Price is still above the

POC line on the stort term volume profile. Once it drops below, I will look for a short

entry on the 3-15 minute time frames.
