Apple – Triangle Pattern with Breakout PotentialApple is currently forming a triangle pattern on the chart. If we break through the resistance, my next target is in the green zone, which I've identified as the next key level.
Strategy: I’m watching for a breakout from the triangle, and if it occurs, I’ll be targeting the green zone as the next potential profit area.
POET: A Technical Play with Fundamental RisksThe recent announcement of POET Technologies, Inc.'s ( NASDAQ:POET ) collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric on September 19, 2024, suggests greater upside potential for the company. Given the current trend, the stock could reach $6-7 per share by year-end.
Over the past year, the stock has risen 56%, with a 377% increase year-to-date. Despite this strong performance, there are several risks to consider:
• Negative net income (the company has not been profitable)
• Frequent stock-based compensation (a 39% increase in shares outstanding since 2020)
• Negative operating cash flow
• Regulatory risks related to business operations in China
While there is potential for substantial price growth, it does come with risks. I think starting with a small position and monitoring the technical and fundamental developments is the best way to play this opportunity.
US Markets Demonstrate Confidence Despite Election JittersThe US markets are currently demonstrating a bullish sentiment, despite concerns surrounding the upcoming election.
All major indices, including the S&P 500, NYSE Composite, and Nasdaq Composite, have formed a bullish Cup & Handle chart pattern and have subsequently broken to follow an upward trend.
While the S&P 500 and NYSE Composite have reached new all-time highs, the Nasdaq Composite is close to its highest peak, further reinforcing the positive market outlook.
'This overall bullish sentiment suggests that the upward trend in the US markets is likely to continue, even in the face of election-related uncertainties.
Exxon's Make-or-Break Moment: $123 Resistance in FocusThe chart distinctly illustrates that the stock has been in a consolidation phase for over a year and is presently trading slightly below its resistance zone.
For a potential upward movement, the price must surpass the 123 level and maintain its position above this threshold.
At the same time, there is a significant likelihood that the stock price may encounter rejection once more, leading to a decline towards its trendline support level.
US30 (DowJones) - Daily Bearish SetupThe BLACKBULL:US30 index experienced a bullish spike, followed by a period of consolidation within a bullish channel. However, after a fake breakout above the upper boundary of this channel, it appears that the index could be poised for a downward correction. Based on the technical analysis, a fall toward the lower boundary of the channel is expected, providing traders with potential shorting opportunities in the near term.
Fundamentally, stock market volatility tends to rise during September, a historically weak month for stocks. This pattern is often attributed to traders returning from summer vacations, rebalancing portfolios, and increased bond offerings, which divert capital away from equities. In 2024, this volatility is further exacerbated by uncertainty around the Federal Reserve’s rate decisions and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Investors are closely watching labor market data, inflation trends, and the Fed’s stance on potential rate cuts, all of which could impact market sentiment and drive further fluctuations in stock prices.
With the TVC:DJI at the top of the bullish channel and signs of weakness after the fake breakout, a pullback to the lower end of the channel seems likely. Traders should stay cautious and monitor key economic events and technical signals for opportunities to re-enter positions at more favorable levels.
