M1NS34 trade ideas
$MNST DailyWatching this on the Daily chart to retest prior support at around 124/125 ... Likely to become new resistance in this market. RSI has NOT broken below 34ish in a VERY long time and now trying to work out of OVERSOLD conditions, would like to see this test 34ish during its bounce, if it break, I don't expect it to hold up above it for very long.
This is something I am keeping an eye on to get into a SHORT position via PUTS
MNST Resuming the UptrendConfirmed bullish momentum after yesterday's pin bouncing off 1day 50ma & 4h 100ma
MNST LONG RSI over 90 for the year Long of that lower Trend Line. This stock moves quickly. Lots of momo. coming off that NR7 Day.
Targets 135-139
MNSTBuy point at 144. Another interesting thing to look out for is the bounce off of the 50 day SMA. In the past, whenever the stock has bounced off the 50 day SMA, it had turned into a rally.
MNST nearing break out of flat base #3It is very close to a clean flat base buy point at 144.
Drawbacks:
3 year EPS is only 18%, and some of this pop has been because of KO acquisition
3 year Sales is only 18%

Neutral to Bullish once triggered. and I bet it's gonna take forever to hit target, unless the trade gets stopped out.
Looking for an open above 1/2 of yesterday's candle.
Long strong run that may not be over yetMonster has been on a nice run since the gap up. The question is whether or not it has the power to continue the trend.
Monster reports earnings in 3 days. A break above the current resistance would be a buy signal and a stop is a break below the red tend line.
Lets see how it plays out.
MNST breaks through $100MNST was in consolidation for over a year before a large gap up in August 2014. Prior to this it had been in a good, linear bull trend for some time. So now the consolidation period is over we would like to see a continuation of previous behaviour.
While the uptrend began again on the August gap up price took a little while to get going. Then, on 31st October, price finally broke through the 100 figure, which can be a psychological area of resistance for some traders. It did not break through convincingly - a small indecision bar - so a retest of $100 was not unexpected.
Now price has gapped up again, on higher volume, a buy opportunity presents itself.

MNST - (NASDAQ: MNST) fell more than 3% on TuesdayMonster Beverage Drops On Stifel Concerns
***** (finance.yahoo.com) 03/06/2014
Shares of Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) fell more than three percent Tuesday morning on comments from Stifel, following the shareholder meeting.
Stifel reduced its estimates on weaker-than-expected sales growth for the past several months. Analyst Mark Astrachan backed up his claims with Monster’s weaker-than-expected April sales and difficulty launching new products.
Stifel cuts its second quarter sales estimate from 12.2 percent year-over-year growth to 9.9 percent. The earnings reduction on this drop is from $0.76 to $0.74. However, Astrachan did state, “We continue to anticipate at least high single-digit sales growth for Monster over the next 3-5 years driven by U.S. share gains, continued international expansion, and innovation.
