Tech Trade LOW on Positive Sentiment & Momentum ($90 PT)Lowes got way, way ahead of itself during the lofty valuation period of January this year. Now that it's fallen under the lowest part of the long, historical trend, it's an easy pickup as it can move up and back over its trend lines. $86.38 is a technical, average line that helps to identify point of accumulation, but only for the short sighted understanding of LOW as a stock. Above $90 is a clear sell line, but if you want to ride momentum and the sector up on whatever reason, $92 and in between is not unreasonable. Do NOT take this stock long hoping for the days of $105+. While Lowes does have some good initiatives with being Smart Home friendly and educational, we are currently not in a period where people are rushing out for home supplies because of proactive home projects, preventative maintenance (hurricanes) or rebuilding.
Make some quick cash off LOW and bow out after. Let it stabilize and find its legs again against its trends lines and then decide if the narrative makes sense moving forward long term. The spikes are there, momentum will make them greater.

Cautious buyI am very cautious this close to the top and thinking the economy will be heading much lower in the coming months BUT this is such a great company. They are very strong and going into a horrible storm season I think we will see some great profits. I won't be putting much into this being my outlook and it's close to the all time highs but it is a good buy non-the-less.
