TWTR
TWTR | Rolling over?Twitter rolling, down to horizontal support?
Interesting to note:
(1) downtrend resistance on the RSI and
(2) negative divergence between RSI and Brown Composite Index*
(3) looking back, lots of similar historical price-action compared with now
* Derivative of RSI (and no range-constraint)
Thoughts welcomed.
$TWTR accumulation pattern complete, new Bullish ERA comingSince IPO
$TWTR hasn't broken out,
Instead, it range traded then dumped from $50 to $13 and back to $50
The outcome?
An accumulation pattern, a very bullish one.
The same structure can be observed on $FB
Just before it broke out from $70 to $274
That's right folks,
a %1000 bullish move since $FB cracked that accumulation pattern.

I threw JETS in here due to continued high implied volatility in airlines which is sticking in there even for names that have already announced "earnings" (or lack thereof) (e.g., DAL (63.5%), UAL (80.7%), AAL (106.6%)).

* -- The first metric is the implied volatility rank (where 30-day implied volatility is relative to where it's been over the past 52 weeks); the second, implied volatility in expiry nearest 30 days until expiry; and the third -- for earnings: what the November at-the=money short straddle is paying as a function of stock price; for exchange-traded funds, broad market, and IRA dividend-payers, what the December at-the-money short straddle is paying as a function of stock price. For lack of a better term, I've dubbed this last metric as the "bang for your buck".

TWTR about to go further up to $52-$53Congratulations to those who followed my linked idea. We got in nicely around $46.
My main target still stands around $53, there is a possible 2nd target around $52 as there is a weekly resistance there.
I believe we will go up after yesterdays very bullish hammer. It dropped hard but got bought back very well and even ended positive.
$TWTR At Turning PointSince the March low Twitter has been trading within a channel that it is currently trying to break out from.
Additionally $ NYSE:TWTR TWTR is currently making new 52week highs, which is always a good setup for a long position.
With the earnings in mind it will be interesting to oberserve whether we can break out of the channel and continue the bullish momentum $SNAP earnings brought to us,
or if we fill the gap and retest the trendline within the channel.
If we dont fill the gap, there is not much resistance up ahead, except major levels that go back all the way to 2015/14 (3 red lines).
If Twitter will outperform earnings expectations we might even be able to fill the gap all the way back from February 2014 (red box).
Tell me your opinion in the comments!
Twitter [TWTR] breaking through a 6 year trendline Twitter has recently broken through the 6-year trendline as seen in the chart. This week it has successfully retested the trendline as support as well.
The Twitter train is about to get wings and fly upwards.
Target 1 would be 50
Target 2 would be 53.48
I believe the move up will start next week.
This is not financial advice, do your own research.
SNAP Double TopNYSE:SNAP has formed a double top from July levels. This stock could see some pullback with the growing popularity of NYSE:TWTR and other social media platforms like TikTok. I see downside of 24.79, which is a strong pivot point, heading into the earning's report and if EPS is a bust it could quickly move down to the neckline formed in August at 20.81.
