1/4 WATCHLIST + MARKET OUTLOOK** THIS IS PURELY OUR OPINION AND WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR YOUR TRADING DECISIONS ** Happy New Year! Looking forward to the first trading session of 2021. Let's get to it! If you've been following our analyses on TradingView, you'll know that we have been very bullish in the short-term, and that we believe we are about to experience (or in the midst of experiencing) the last phase of any bull cycle - a blow-off top . You can see in the image above that we've had this strong support line (red) since the coronavirus low. On Thursday, we closed above the major resistance (green trendline - which has actually now turned into support). This is a very bullish signal. As long as the red support line holds, we will maintain a bullish bias. However, the market doesn't care about our opinion and will do what it wants. So we will trade the price action we see! WATCHLIST Note that these levels are for intraday options/equity trades. These are not swing levels. MU calls over 75.70 TIGR calls over 8.5 SHOP puts under 1128 SQ puts under 214.25 COST calls over 377.45 PYPL calls over 235 ROKU puts under 330.75 TSLA calls over 720 WKHS puts under 19.7 ZM puts under 336 Lastly, we opened a position in GLD on Thursday - we will likely add to the position tomorrow with a break of 179. Have a great week of trading!

THE WEEK AHEAD: BBBY, MU EARNINGS; ICLN, SLV, XLE, IWM/RUTEARNINGS: I've culled down all of next week's earnings announcements to options highly liquid underlyings where the 30-day is >50% and am left with two potential candidates for volatility contraction plays: BBBY (23/99/26.3%)* and MU (23/53/14.0%). BBBY announces on Thursday before market open, so look to put on a play in the waning hours of Wednesdays session; MU, announces on Thursday after market close. Pictured here is a delta neutral short strangle in the February cycle (49 days), which was paying 1.27 at the mid price as of Friday close with break evens wide of two times the expected move on the call side and slightly above the 2x on the put and delta/theta of -1.07/3.12. Naturally, you can see the call side skew here, with the similarly-delta'd short put 3.76 away from current price, but the call 7.24 away, so the underlying may merit a look at alternative plays that take advantage of this. In contrast, the shorter duration January 15th 15/22.5 (14 days) was paying 1.02, with delta/theta metrics of .21/7.91, with the natural trade-off's being less room to be wrong, but a quicker resolution of the trade should you be right. With MU, I'd look at a Plain Jane 2x expected move short strangle, which here would be the January 15th 68.5/85, paying 1.71 or the February 19th 62.5/90, paying 2.30. EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS RANKED BY PERCENTAGE THE FEBRUARY 19TH AT-THE-MONEY SHORT STRADDLE PAYS AS A FUNCTION OF STOCK PRICE: ICLN (9/51/15.0%) SLV (33/48/13.6%) XLE (23/41/11.4%) XBI (27/39/11.2%) EWZ (14/39/11.1%) GDX (15/38/11.1%) XME (14/38/10.7%) BROAD MARKET: IWM (25/31/8.1%) QQQ (19/27/7.1%) SPY (15/22/5.4%) EFA (20/21/5.2%) BOND FUNDS: TLT (16/18/4.4%) (Yield: 1.609%) HYG (7/13/2.0%) (Yield: 4.917%) EMB (4/7/2.0%) (Yield: 4.024%) AGG (28/8/1.7%) (Yield: 2.252%) * -- The first number is the implied volatility rank or percentile (i.e., where 30-day implied is relative to where it's been over the last 52 weeks); the second, 30-day implied; and the third, what the February 19th at-the-money short straddle is paying as a function of stock price.

THE WEEK AHEAD: FDX, LEN, MU, CCL EARNINGS; XOP/XLE, IWM/RUTEARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT-RELATED VOLATILITY CONTRACTION PLAYS (IN ORDER OF ANNOUNCEMENT): Here are the options-liquid underlyings announcing next week that I've culled down to 30-day >50% as candidates for volatility contraction plays: LEN (21/49/11.6%),* announcing Wednesday after market close MU (24/52/12.2%), announcing Wednesday (no time specified) FDX (29/53/11.9%), announcing Thursday after market close CCL (27/91/21.1%), announcing Friday (no time specified) Pictured here is a January 15th 17.5/27.5 short strangle in CCL which announces Friday, paying 1.36 as of Friday close with delta/theta of -4.86/4.84 with break evens wide of 2 times the expected move on the call side, and between the 1 and 2 x on the put. Although no time is currently specified, it is likely to announce before market open (because who, like, announces after Friday close?), so would look to put on a play in the waning hours of Thursday's session if you want to take advantage of Friday's post-announcement volatility contraction. EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS RANKED BY BANG FOR YOUR BUCK: XOP (21/60/16.3%)** GDXJ (15/44/12.9%) XLE (30/45/12.5%) KRE 924/41/11.1%) SLV (25/40/11.2%) GDX (16/38/10.7%) EWZ (15/39/10.6%) XBI (24/38/10.0%) BROAD MARKET EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS: IWM (25/30/7.8%) QQQ (23/30/7.6%) DIA (16/23/6.0%) SPY (16/23/5.6%) EFA (20/24/5.1%) TREASURY/BOND FUNDS: Adding a little bond/treasury section to here since I occasionally park what would otherwise be idle cash in short puts (See Post Below).

MU ShortAfter a golden cross with the 50 and 200 SMA NASDAQ:MU has pushed up into overbought conditions on the RSI leaving quite a mess as it stretches. Now at all time highs, I believe that it is a good time for a short. With lots of buying pressure in the last couple of days some consolidation is expected. Semi-conductors have been a strong play during 2020, however with a strong bid for Energy yesterday, I believe it is time for past due rotation for the continuation of the unprecedented bull market that has been carried heavily by tech centric stocks. The MAC-D is attempting to double extend to the upside for the first time since September and March lows, and with the overbought conditions it is safe to say that this move will likely be quickly rejected. My first target for MU is support at 61.68 and my second target is the gap up from 58.12 to 59.57. Note that the former highs are at 64.66 and this might serve as a testy area for MU.

Stocks to Watch 11/29/2020The Bull Market is strong, but many stocks are extended and sentiment seems to be extremely bullish. I am cautious with new buys until the sentiment cools off a little. This video is my watchlist. Most of these names are at or near all time highs or multi year highs. There are 28 total stocks on this list. Many of these have IPO'd in the last few years and still have a growth story ahead of them. There are also some "COVID" stocks which may be setting up again. . Know your time frame and risk tolerance, grab a pencil and paper and jot down the names that look interesting to you and then make the trade your own. Good Luck!

Supply & Demand Trading Analysis 11/22/2020With the strong bullish momentum dissipating, the signs of a reemergence of mass hysteria with wave 2 of covid arriving, numerous stocks a far distance away from major moving averages, big institutions adding more hedges to their portfolio's, these stories appear to ring the same tune prior to the crash in march. With a majority of stocks failing to reach new highs or inside supply zones, here are some stocks showing signs that a reversal to the downside is imminent. MU - A strong trend to the upside, however volume appears to diverge with price, a textbook bearish signal. - Inside a major daily supply zone + strong rejection attempting to break above zone. - Far distance away from 20ema on daily chart. Pullbacks resulted every time during similar prior occurrences. - Entering a short position if price begins to break lower level of daily supply (59.44) BIDU - Price recently bounces of 200ema while inside a monthly demand zone. - Price is showing consolidation, preparing for another strong move to either side. - Looking to BTFD if price drops back to 200ema within the monthly demand zone. MS - A market top appears to have formed a market top on daily chart after failing to break above supply zones - Will enter short position if price breaks below $57. Strong indication price is reversing. - A triple top appears to have formed when analyzing weekly chart. - A sharp rise in price with decreasing volume and far distance away from ema's = perfect pullback conditions KSS - Keeping an eye on how price moves this week as it appears to be forming a bull flag while attempting break above daily supply zone. - If price moves in predicted pattern, will enter a short position as price enters circled zone. Black trendline is the top of monthly downtrend, expecting a rejection as price approaches. PYPL - Price in consolidation in middle of a 4 month trading range. With market conditions showing signs of a market ready to sell, I expect a breakout on the downside. - Will look to BTFD if price breakouts out, entering demand zone along with 200ema inside zone resulting in high possibility price will use 200ema as support. CNK - Price rejects off 200ema after touching ema for the first time in 2020. - If price begins to rise back into weekly supply zone AND with decreasing volume, will enter a short position in circled zone as it tests both a major supply zone and 200ema resistance.

MU Earning Flop/Bearish Pennant ActiveNASDAQ:MU was short 11 cents on its earnings, was downgraded by several groups and began to selloff yesterday, activating bearish pennant with extremely high volume. Earlier in August their CFO stated that the future of memory chips doesn't look good (www.bloomberg.com) and it caused a 9.54% drop from the day's open over the course of a week. After reaching oversold levels on RSI the stock rallied. My target price for is MU is 10% from Wednesday's opening price- roughly 44.05 though I would like to see a break below 46.65 before taking a position. If MU continues to sell my next target would be 41.14
