BYND
BYND, Elliot Wave. Looks like we may be heading into a wave 3, which would be consistent with the general idea sentiment floating about. May dip further in the near future, but assuming we're in the 2nd wave, typically we won't see wave 2 dip below $134, break out to the up side could land us near $180.I guess we'll find out! Welcome all constructive criticism, let me know what you think, if you disagree!
BYND has the potential of adding 20-25% to the current priceBYND had reversed from the 200-day moving average below and forming a "cup-and-handle" pattern - a strong bullish signal. Considering the renassiance of other IPO stocks and rebound of small caps, we may see it breaking up and reaching the 180 area.
BYND food stock for food hangoverHope everyone had a great Thanksgiving if you're in the US! What better way to recover from a food coma than to analyze a food stock?
I'm comfortable with traders being bullish on NASDAQ:BYND to retest the 2020 high so long as it holds the post-earnings low. There is clear price action to structure a trade where your risk and target needs to be. So loosen up that belt and relax if you're long!
BYND corrective wave completed?As Stock Plunges, Beyond Meat CEO Says Relationship With McDonald's 'Very Strong'
Plant-based meat producer Beyond Meat Inc’s (NASDAQ: BYND) stock spiraled 16.9% downwards Tuesday. The selloff was triggered when McDonald’s Corp (NYSE: MCD) did not name Beyond Meat as one of the suppliers for its plant-based product line, McPlant.
What Happened: Beyond Meat investors panicked over fears of potential competition from McDonald’s in the plant-based meat substitutes market, CNBC reports based on Wall Street analysts’ comments.
McDonald’s plant-based meat supplier is still not made public, leading to speculations over its business strategies and product mix.
Select McDonald outlets could restart the meat-free foods in 2021. USA TODAY quoted McDonald’s international president Ian Borden by stating the McPlant lineup is “crafted exclusively for McDonald’s, by McDonald’s.”
In discussion with Jim Crammer on Mad Money show Tuesday, CEO of Beyond Meat, Ethan Brown said, “I believe our relationship with McDonald’s is very strong. We’re involved with McDonald’s on a number of different fronts.”
Brown also said that Beyond Meat is “doing things now to prepare for things in the future that involve McDonlad’s.”
He did not clearly say if BYND was the chosen supplier.
Rising Wedge Support and Hidden Bullish Divergence on MACD |BYNDBYND has had some volatile movements this year, but generally trending upward. The entire year, BYND has been trading in a beautiful rising wedge. The support trend line has seen three reversals (mid-march, start-april, start-september) and the resistance trend line has seen three reversals as well (mid-jan, mid-jun, mid-oct). After the mid October reversal BYND has lost 28% of its value in a steep decline and has now arrived at the support trend line. If BYND would find support here, a hidden bullish confirmation will occur and BYND will likely reverse to the upside with a 40% growth potential before reaching the resistance trend line.

BYNDBYND - Couple things going on here in my opinion...Cup and Handle is pretty prominent in blue as well as a Bull Flag in yellow. The purple rectangle is the equal target for a cup and handle from a more conservative perspective, placing it at the bottom of the W instead of at the top of the potential breakout. In my analysis, it completed a 5 Wave structure and is now in the WXY correction. I think the W has been put in, and we will pump up to the X in the shorter term regardless in my opinion, whether we correct down to Y or pump up further from the X is a different story. I am swinging some equity as well as some Calls with expirations further out in December. Short term target is 185ish and longer term at the top of that rectangle at 215ish. Earnings is on Nov. 2 so this could run up into earnings but ill just have to wait and see how it plays out.
