Investing in Albemarle (ALB): A Strategic OpportunityAlbemarle (ALB) stock has been decimated recently, but this presents a prime opportunity for savvy investors.
If you, like me, believe in the future of lithium and electric vehicles, ALB is a stock you cannot afford to overlook.

ALB Albemarle Corporation Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of ALB Albemarle Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 110usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2024-2-16,
for a premium of approximately $3.25.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Probably it`s the last dip before the reversal.
$LPI long (B wave potential here)LPI has experienced an impulsive 25% drop after Chile announces that it will nationalise its country's lithium supply. Private companies will be forced to work with the state to develop the local industry. I have not looked in depth into Chile's lithium industry and the potential long term consequences but the market demonstrated how it felt about the announcement. SQM fell 17% and Albemarle fell 9% (both in the top 5 largest lithium companies in the world). It is no surprise th
From a charting perspective, this looks like a clear running flat but could also become an expanding flat down the track. The impulsive C wave down could also be interpreted as the end of a new A- wave. This could mean that there B wave potential here for a swing.
PLS Long (ASX)The C wave from March 2023 demonstrates bearish movement from falling lithium spot prices and a bearish macro environment. The C wave movement has turned this from a running flat to an expanding flat . Interesting to watch market psychology is at play here as participants sold PLS down despite a 1.2 billion in profit and a maiden 11c dividend paid out. Prices reached as low as $3.5 during this period. This could either be a completed expanding flat or the C wave in this flat could actually be the beginning of a new A wave. As demonstrated by the 2016 to 2020 corrective flat, prolonged consolidation lead to a 35 bag movement.
Regardless of whether it's the beginning of a new A wave or the end of an expanding flat, consolidation is healthy. Expect short term upside too. PLS long for the next decade.
** Note: During the end of March 2023, Albermarle attempted to acquire LTR. The big players are accumulating despite bearish sentiment.

Daily Timeframe Position
Albemarle (ALB) may be nearing the end of its uptrend since late March 2020. A long-term Trend Line from the valley in March moves upward against corresponding valleys signifying the uptrend (weekly timeframe). For the first time price has now dropped and closed below the trendline. Although it has closed below the Trend Line, and that may signal that it is not in an uptrend anymore, we have not yet confirmed that it is in a downtrend. To decipher this, we use the 1-2-3 trend change method.
1 - This is where the price has closed below the trendline
2 - There is a retracement and a retest of the high that fails
3 - A close below the closest valley to the breakout (However, this has not happened yet). If the price pushes past 215 and closes, then this is another signal that a downtrend is impending
Another short signal is the Double Top that has formed, which is compounded by strong selling (as you can see by the long shadows of the candles at the price range of 244). This Double Top has also been confirmed as we have a close below the valley between the two peaks (shown with the white dot).
Yet another signal is the Fibonacci retracement that shows a pullback at 50%.
We can see that price is hovering at a number of Support regions, including a Descending Triangle and Support at 215, which incidentally is also a round number. There is also Support Line formed for 215 from a smaller descending triangle to the left between September and October.
If the price breaks 215, we can most probably expect a sharp drop until resistance is reached at 185 provided by the Support line of the Broadening Formation. 185 is also coincidentally 15% away from the breakout price.
Placing your entry at 214 (past Support at 215) and taking profits at 185 will give you a 5.5 to 1, which is not bad at all. This is only if you place your stop relatively close to the Support that is keeping this price afloat, say at approximately 216/17. Consider taking profits rather at 194 just before the tiny bit of price congestion that appears in that Broadening Formation to the left. Price will most probably stall here and start to retrace, but you will be guaranteed a 3.5 to 1 . If done correctly, you can get out at this point, wait for the Fibonacci retracement at 62%, and short again if you see price is dropping further. If you are thinking of riding the downtrend, then placing your Stop loss at the 62% retracement from the valley peak when it starts to retrace is your best bet.
