DUOL - buy the dipsDUOL broke out of a base formation neckline @ 114 strongly on 2nd March this year and then did a classic retest of the neckline on 13 March, affirming that the neckline @ 114 has now become support. It then went on to hit a high of 147 before retracing all the way back down 116.82 (triggering a trailing stop loss @ 130). A bullish morning star pattern than formed on 5th May and a re-entry was triggered on 6th May. However with earnings reporting on 9th May, one has to decide whether it was worthwhile to take the risk to long here. With the stock already dipping 20% from it's high of 147, the odds of an earnings surprise to the upside could be higher. Nevertheless, risking no more than just a small position (before earnings) seemed prudent. Now that earnings is out of the way (upside surprise), there is a chance it could break it's last recent high of 147 in the near term. On the bigger picture, the stock is now on an uptrend and there is room to rise in the coming months. However market could continue to be volatile hence it could be less risky to buy any near term dips rather than to chase breakouts. Learning to manage a position in such volatile conditions is paramount. I would still place trailing stops and am prepared to get stopped out but re-enter at the next bullish trigger, but only if the chart still looks bullish on the bigger picture.

Potential Basing Pattern in Asensus SurgicalMy other interpretation is slightly less bullish but still has upside to around $20. This also could be a countertrend interruption to the long term bearish price action which would lead to the stock getting delisted. I see a lot of opportunity here and if this basing pattern holds profits will be insane, but it's definitely a lotto play. There's potential for a bounce off of the 50% retracement, but that's not very likely so I'll wait to buy any significant amount of this one. The call chain is particularly attractive should this play out with prices for ATM and NTM calls for the next several months ranging from $5 - $35 per contract.

WY offering a Pocket Pivot setup!* Good earnings * Very strong up trend * High 3 month relative strength in the Real Estate industry * In a constructive basing pattern for the past 7 months that's rounding out * Stable volume with increasing price * Pocket pivot occurred on the right side of the basing pattern. Trade Idea: * You can enter now as indicated if you don't mind a little volatility * Or if you're looking for a slight discount you can look for buying opportunities near the $36.47 area Note: Pocket pivots offer an early entry prior to breakouts. The volume indicates institutional interest.
