ES/SPX Weekly Plan | 12/12 - 12/17Big week ahead in terms of tapering updates. We are very bullish coming into the week for the following reasons:
1. The market has been made aware of Powell's true stance on inflation since he told everyone "we need to let go of the word transitory." We did sell off soon after to 4500 as the market received the news, but since then, everyone has had time to digest it, and we rallied sharply back to almost all time highs. to me, that says they're essentially "accepting" his plan and think that the market is strong enough to withstand the taper
2. Big big dark pool prints all last week even with the knowledge of tapering. This is very supportive for the market
Dec 15 will be very important. Powell can crush everyone's hopes and dreams if he comes out hawkish and speeds up his taper plan or increases the number of tapers. If this happens, our bias will change quickly.

After Dividends GIS Raised Prices...Will They CRUSH Earnings?Is GIS part of the global Supply Crunch? After several months our GIS retail play is holding up nicely but will they crush earnings? It seems they're poised to knock this out the park on 12 21, but anything could happen. Please DYOR before jumping in to GIS, read their prospectus & recent SEC filings, so there are no surprises. Full disclosure considering cutting bags here. We're done at the grocery store this quarter, & may look to rotate back into sectors that are down.

Technical analysis: Bull flag breakout on the hourly chart
News catalyst: "Lowe's holds a Financial Outlook event. The home improvement retailer is expected to focus some of its commentary on operating margin opportunities. Expect some analysis following the event on whether or not Lowe's can close the margin gap with Home Depot (NYSE:HD).

Last week, we saw Lucid sell off on senior notes offering news. Bouncing off the GP, we may see potential bottom here. Wait for smaller degree wave 1-2 form first (green path) for some better confirmation. Also included a fractal path to note labelled in blue...
$AAPL | WEEKLY WATCHLIST 12/13$AAPL 1W
Huge weekly breakout on the chart as well as the oscillator, confirming uptrend. Been holding calls since the $162 break and plan to take profits early in the week between $179-182. Expecting some chop/cool down soon.
Big congrats if you've been following this with me.
Bearish on Bank Of America (BAC)This is my first time publishing any analysis and I have also not been analyzing charts for to long. This post is more so looking for feedback on my analysis, but if it helps others, then great.
That being said, I am confident in shorting BAC as a result of the bearish indicators shown in my chart. For one, it is hovering above a support level that I think needs to be hit before BAC rebounds. My other reasoning is the the 50 day and 100 day moving averages are crossing. The third reasoning shown in my analysis is the "Bearish Cup and Handle Pattern." Also not drawn in what I believe to be a bearish pennant pattern. These reasons are why I have a bearish bias on BAC.
As I said before, I am new to this, so any feedback would be MUCH appreciated.

UAL Bullish inclined Naked Puts 10 Dec Expiry (Dec Track 1)Whats The Plan/Trade/Thought
This trade is slightly risky as it is not an ETF. But it's current price movement mirrors JETS etf and this will allow me to get a decent price based on my outlook on travel as a sector
Overall we are seeing Leisure and Hospitality with the largest job gains (Oct data). However in terms of Job postings, while all sectors are seeing increases. Hospitality & Tourism have the lowest postings
If you look at the high Job Gains and the low Job Postings. We can make the assumption that people are filling up Leisure and Hospitality jobs easily but the supply of jobs is just not enough for the number of candidates available.
This also means that the Leisure and Hospitality sector are being very very cautious and this is reflecting in the price movements despite the largely bullish S&P moves. However it is not contrarian, just dulled and pensive
UAL in Oct has also posted higher than expected revenue but is still below 2019 numbers (Before COVID19)
UAL has made higher lows in the past 2 months
I Feel
I feel I have a good assumption that is a reflection of the current market movement. I am also not predicting any direction in my analysis
Imagine Yourself Taking The Other Side
This is an easy position to take the other side even if I was bullish. The price is currently ranging and while it has previously broken the resistance line at 51. It has whipped back below the line.
It is possible for it to continue to range down to 43.20 and still hold true to my thoughts on the sector
Imagine Yourself As A Neutral Observer
This trade is slightly worrying based on the position of the Strike within the range.
But if I follow the overall market bullishness I feel we are at least standing on the right side of the fence.
Look For New Information
No new information, but current price movement on the 15 Nov has not followed Friday's drop and feels like it is testing the S&R line
How Do I Feel Now
I'm going to look at it from an hour, breath and then enter if nothing comes up
Trade Specs
Sold 160 Puts @ 0.33 - Strike 44
% to Strike 12.23%
ATR % is around 1%

Options flow are whispering on BTCThe Options Market can inform well in advance about movements that are yet to happen in futures contracts. Looking at the Options with an Exercise Date (expiry) in 22 days at the time of writing the analysis, the conclusions are quite loud and clear:
50,000 - Put Wall level, that is support with 2 times more capital than the other levels
60,000 - Call Wall level -> resistance
65,000 and 70,000 - successive resistance levels
We also see some Virgin VPOC points from the past, which only adds strength and confidence to the Bitcoin bullish prediction. All data and levels are based on BTC quotes from CME.
I am puzzled by a very large capital located at the level of 50k $ - someone really cares to defend this level at all costs. There is still time for it, so it's worth watching how the situation develops;)
