VISL chillin in historic channel, where will it break?Will we finally see VISL break up and out of this channel? It's been a relatively consistent area of support/resistance. With several potential catalysts to consider here (5G, general broadcast, telecom, esports) it will be interesting to see if these tailwinds act as a stronger catalyst. "While it will likely focus on some as it relates to 5G penny stocks, esports could be another facet to consider. If you sift through some of the company’s blog posts, you’ll notice that Vislink’s partner, NEP Sweden, covered the “BLAST Premier Spring Series” last year. This is an international esports event featuring the world’s top esports teams competing in the first-person shooter game series Counter-Strike...NEP filmed the event using Vislink’s HCAMs feeding into a ULRX-LD all controlled by Vislink’s FocalPoint Camera Control System. While no further esports-related updates have come about from the company, a surge in the excitement surrounding esports could be something to take note of."

Will NET Bring Cloud Back To Life?NET NYSE:NET is a riskier play at this moment due to the overall weakness in tech stock and market conditions. But, in comparison to other companies in this sector NET is holding up fairly well and showing some relative strength. NET tried to get over $76 today and failed to hold above. Testing a strong support zone for the third time over the past two months and looks like we may be starting to bounce. Volume has been accumulating with 4 out of the last 6 days trading above NET's daily volume average. POC on the daily chart is right at $82.51 lvl. If SPY/QQQ can start to breakout this week $$ should flow back into the tech stocks and the cloud sector which has taken a solid beating can see some bullish movement. Ideally, we gap up to $78 and form an island reversal. But, a play over $76 with the right market conditions looks primed for a good swing. EMA's serving as a resistance above in the 78-79 range, tough lvls to get through in the Low Volume Node (LVN) 4/16 $80 calls will be my swing of choice (4.35/4.65). IV is very low 21% IV percentile on NET and if the market starts to move back up these can pay out well! *I entered a small NET position this week and will add more on break of $76 with volume.

Tech bulls - watch out! #NAS100 #NASDAQAt the time of writing the Nasdaq100 index is lower by just over 3%. The composite is coming under sever pressure as a surge in bond yields are spooking investors, prompting them to dump risk assets, especially those in the high-flying technology names. Looking at the Weekly Nas100 index from a technical perspective, i see 3 technical factors which are warning of a bigger correction to come in the Nasdaq. (1) We have seen 3 new highs in price which are not being confirmed by the RSI (bearish divergence), a sign of momentum slowing which could be warning of a further correction that could unfold in this tech-heavy sector in weeks to come. (2) The MACD is also confirming potential weakness with negative divergence evident in the indicator. (3) Also note that the weekly chart is now also trading below the uptrend (UT) support which has been in place since the March 20 covid lows, further giving us a clue that the steepness of this UT is unsustainable & further exposing weakness in the structure of this chart. Keep a close eye on the horizontal support level between the 12700 - 12760 area, as a failure and weekly close below this zone could confirm the breakdown, likely leading price to target the lower support levels at 12000 and then 11000. Is is quite evident by looking at this chart that the level of 11000 was a critical support level in 2020 & most predominantly, it is also the yearly Pivot level for 2021. This would be a logical level for the market to find support should we retreat that far. As vaccines are rolled out and economies reopen, perhaps 2021 could be the year that the tech rally stalls as investors reposition and rotate into the value sector "reopening stocks".. Good luck!

NTAP pullback offers buying opportunityAfter BLASTING through trend line resistance in November, Netapp is finally experiencing a healthy pullback today after its earnings report. Earnings and guidance both exceeded analyst expectations, but the stock is pulling back anyway. This is consistent with the overall trend this earnings season. Lots of stocks have pulled back after earnings beats. Netapp is one of my more favorite tech stocks due to its reasonable valuation and large dividend yield. I put its forward P/E at under 15 and its forward P/S at about 2.25. Forward dividend yield is possibly over 4%. I like how innovative it is for its size, with 10 patents per year per billion of market cap. (PEG ratio could be better, at about 9, but honestly that's a hard metric to use because growth rates change over time.) Netapp is trading about in-line with its median multiple over the last 4 years. Sentiment-wise, Netapp looks quite positive. The average analyst rating is 8/10, and the put/call ratio is in bullish territory at 0.83. Technicals are bearish on the daily but bullish on the weekly scale. The average analyst price target is about 10% above the current price. I increased my Netapp position by about 150% here and will add more if it pulls back to support at any of the weekly EMAs.

Nice support for the long off the pivot points: Nice support (confluence) off the Fibonacci Fan

VWO - Emerging Market Macro Analysis The macro data from this month's Markit PMI's is sending a bit of mixing signals from the countries that VWO has the most exposure to, but I am still optimistic as to the near-future performance of the emerging markets. Before going into the macro analysis, whats the market allocation of this ETF. The 80% market allocation is the following: - China -> 42.5% - Taiwan -> 16.5% - India -> 11% - Brazil -> 5.9% - South Africa -> 4.1% After a quick look at the list above, we can see that China and Taiwan are almost 50% of the market allocation, so it is important to follow their situation closer. China Macro Overview China PMI's are sending mixed signals regarding the growth of Chianese economy, with a possible hint as to slow down in the next few months. The manufacturing report is showing a slow down in growth in the production and new orders. The new export orders are declining again below the 50 level, which indicates a possibility of contraction, there is also an indication of rising costs. And that's likely to reflect in the results of Q2, or even in the Q3. Taiwan Macro Overview In comparison to Chinese PMI's, Taiwanese reports are much more optimistic, with strong growth in the last months. January Manufacturing PMI is reporting growth in Output and New Orders, which are leading indicators in themselves. Employment has increased substantially, which is a good indicator as to the health of the Taiwanese economy in the current situation. In my opinion, the Taiwanese companies will lead the performance in the VWO for the next few months. Indian Macro overview India is another country reporting growth in January if we keep in mind the allocation size in this country in this ETF, it gives an optimistic outlook for its performance. New Orders, Exports and Outputs are rising for another consecutive month. The employment situation is still contracting but at lower levels than before. That may be an indication of possible employment growth soon. The overall outlook for the Indian economy is positive and in conjunction with positive data from Taiwan, that's good news for the emerging markets. Additional Macro overview Brazil, South Africa are other countries in the top 5 of the allocations for this ETF. Their allocation size is reasonably smaller than the countries above so I won't go into much detail. Brazil situation is not very bright, as to the information provided by PMI reports, even that manufacturing showed slight improvements, the services are contracting again. The situation in South Africa seems to expand but at a slow pace, there are still many concerns as the effects of the pandemic on the overall economy. Final Opinion. As we can see from the macro overview of the countries, which are the key components of the market allocation of this ETF, the outlook is mostly positive. Some may be concerned by the mixed data from the Chinese PMIs since China is the biggest player in this ETF, it may affect the performance. However, there is a positive outlook for Taiwan and India. I believe they will compensate for the possible slow down in China, and it'll drive the EM performance for the next few months. Sources: - Caixin China General Manufacturing PMI - Caixin China General Services PMI - IHS Markit Taiwan Manufacturing PMI - IHS Markit India Manufacturing PMI - IHS Markit India Services PMI - IHS Markit Brazil Manufacturing PMI - IHS Markit Brazil Services PMI - IHS Markit South Africa PMI

Bullish momentum for HAYDThe 1D chart for HAYD is looking really good today. We have multiple bullish signals. - Today the price could break above the upper channel bound - RSI indicator for 250 periods is showing >50% indicates the start of bullish momentum - The volume indicators in the past few days were trending up - Trading above the 55 EMA There's a high chance that the channel could be broken if this is the case and the new support rejects the price we could be on the way to a bullish trend. In the case the channel doesn't break and rejects we believe it will find support in the 55 EMA. On the latest Fundamentals: - Haydale has recently launched it's new SynerG graphene mask and is starting to fill orders for both retail and B2B customers.

NOC bounce in progressThe Setup Northrop Grumman has made a support trend line since 2013, and it now looks to be bouncing from that line after approaching it Friday. NOC also has support at 287 from recent lows. More importantly, NOC has a positive news catalyst after announcing a $2 billion buyback program this morning. Value NOC is a pretty compelling value. I estimate forward P/E at 11 and forward P/S at 1.25, pretty good for a company with earnings growth. Sales are growing about 3% per year and earnings about 4% per year. NOC also offers a dividend yield over 2% and growing at a rate of 3% per year. It has 3 patens per billion dollars of market cap, which isn't an extraordinary amount of patents, but it's enough to show that the company is innovating. Perhaps most compelling metric is that NOC has about 41% upside to its median valuation of the past 4 years. Sentiment Sentiment on NOC is mixed, with an average 72.25/100 score from S&P Global, but only a middling analyst summary score and ESG rating. Recent earnings revisions have been mixed, and TradingView's technical analysis shows "Strong Sell" on the daily and "Sell" on the weekly. Options interest has been positive, with both open interest and 30-day average volume in bullish territory. The most impressive sentiment metric is the average analyst price target, some 35% above the current price. Although sentiment isn't yet clearly bullish, I believe that it will soon shift in a bullish direction in response to news of the buyback program. My plan is to front-run the change in sentiment, though another possible strategy is to enter on a bullish breakout above the recent resistance trend line. Price Target I think a reasonable near-term price target is $340/share.

Semiconductor sector (SOXX) seem ready to turn its trendSemiconductor sector seems ready for a trend change. Since the March low, the sector has ran up more than triple digit percentage. As much as the sector is damaged less than retail and hospitality, it is very cyclical sector and it does get affected by business cycle. Semi is the canary in a coal mine of the tech sector (XLK), so when this turns, it will be a headwind for the entire tech sector as a whole. When the tech breaks, the market breaks for its heavy weight on the indexes. Recently broke the minor yellow up trend line and reversing right at the long term trend line since last spring. Initial target is the bottom of the trading range. $404ish depending on when it hits it. 2nd target is the horizontal support right below the channel. $384.46 As how bullish the overall sentiment is in the market recently, once it turns, it will be pretty quick move downward. Potential long term targets are listed but SOXX will not going to fall double digit without if XLK and indexes are resilient. Only the time will tell but it will be prudent and be cautious. Scaling down on aggressiveness won't be a bad idea and have some hedges. Have a good trade everyone, T.

Longing on ASX:BET - uptick started todayThe ASX market appears to be heating up. Following on my other thesis on ASX marketing such as ASX:APT , ASX:CCP and ASX:Z1P , the other pick which I expect to see a lot of actions is ASX:BET . There are a few catalysts for BET during the few weeks: 1. It has just completed a round of SSP with over subscription hotcopper.com.au 2. Its price action has started an upward trend ever since the Dec 2nd with large transaction vol on that day, and showing consolidation ever since. 3. Contrast with the Gaming/Online Sport books in the US market, most of which has gone up 30-50% since Dec, the deregulation of online sport betting in the US market should benefit BET as well. 4. The upward candle of Jan 21st apparently is testing its all time high at 0.795. I am expecting BET to hit the 0.995 range before its earning release on Mar 2nd. Full disclosure, I put my $$ behind my thesis and just built a position @ 0.77 with a 10% stop loss @ 0.7.
