Fundamental Reasoning:
With earning around the corner, their numbers need to be payed attention (up the trade score due to earning being need). Year over year, store sales are up 20% and online sales up 200% April 2019 compare to April 2020, Target store sales are up 5% and Online sales up 4%. With rumor of recession around the corner and COVID-19 still active. This should be a good pick up.
HEAD & SHOULDERSA head and shoulders pattern is a chart formation that resembles a baseline with three peaks, the outside two are close in height and the middle is highest. This pattern is believed to be one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns, and predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal.
%TGT I H&S AND CHANNEL Historically, the $TGT stock has been in this channel for quite some time. (white for dummies) When it broke out of this channel, it reached an all time high. Then we can clearly see a nice inverse head and shoulders. Next target would be $64 if falls back in here.
$TGT Trading At Key Trendline Support$TGT has sold off to key trendline support and this is a dip worth buying. There's a lot to like with $TGT.
Target (NYSE:TGT) says it has been experiencing unusually strong traffic and sales as customers stock up on items like food, medicine, cleaning products and pantry items.
As a result, the retailer is adjusting the expected timing of some of its strategic initiatives, to support the team and minimize potential disruptions in their work. Target now expects to do 130 store remodels in 2020 vs. the previous expectation of ~300 and open 15 to 20 new small format stores this year vs. the 36 previously announced.
Target says comparable sales are more than 20% higher Y/Y in March so far, with comparable sales in essentials and food & beverage up more than 50%. During that same period, comparable sales in apparel & accessories are down more than 20%. The retailer warns that continued sales declines in higher-margin discretionary categories could result in lower-than-expected gross margin dollar performance for the remainder of the quarter.
Target is pulling guidance due to the unusually wide range of potential outcomes for Q1. The company is also suspending share repurchase activity in the current environment.
Credit Suisse digs into Target (TGT -6.7%) after the company was one of the first large retailers to provide an update on financial performance since COVID-19.
CS points to Target's significant sales upside due to essentials/food purchases, but also notes the higher costs that limit the short-term EPS upside.
"These are not data points that can be extrapolated forever, but we believe that the longer-term implications are more positive in our view, given TGT's ability to fulfill such significant demand," writes analyst Seth Sigman.
The firm keeps an Outperform rating on Target and price target of $125 (33% upside potential).
As always, trade with caution and good luck to all!
Target Clings to Support, With Gap Looming BelowTarget reported decent earnings this week, but not a lot of buyers showed up. Now traders may want to watch for a potential breakdown with the big-box retailer near a key price zone.
TGT gapped from $86 to $100 last August on signs that its big digital push had paid off. It followed that with another strong quarterly report on November 20.
Since then, however, things haven't been so hot. TGT peaked around $130 a week before Christmas. It then announced in mid-January that the key holiday-shopping season missed estimates. The shares gapped down, bounced feebly and then continued lower to a potentially important level around $105.
This zone could be crucial because it's near the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and the price area shortly after the August gap.
The recent price action is also potentially bearish because TGT tried to rally after earnings three days ago, but hit resistance around the old $111 support area from January 31.
Relative strength has been poor over the course of 2020, with TGT trending lower even as the S&P 500 hit new highs in January and February. It also faces potential risk from the spread of coronavirus.
Still, there isn't confirmation yet. Traders shopping for downside in TGT may want to wait for a close below the 200-day SMA.
TGT ToppingThis looks like a clear head and shoulders top in TGT. The neckline was tested on Tuesday and today was an inside day. Looking for follow through. A close below the 200-day moving average would probably be a great signal to go short.

VIX/VIX DERIVATES:
VIX finished the week at a whopping 40.11 with the /VX term structure in backwardation, so it's an opportunity to add short call verticals or long put verticals in VXX and UVXY if you haven't already done so. For existing spreads (I've got a few), I'll be looking to play the elevator up/down game, rolling the long call aspect of my VXX credit spreads up to lock in profit on that side of the trade and improve my break even. In all likelihood, these will eventually require rolling out for duration come April opex due to the location of the short leg, but I'm fine with that. Pops can happen while you have these on, and you just need to be patient and make the best of them ... .
GENERAL MUSINGS:
For people who are into selling premium and who had large amounts of cash sitting on the sidelines, this is your "kid in a candy store" moment. Non-single name premium selling has finally become productive in that 45 day wheel house, even in broad market, where we were looking at going grotesquely long in duration last week to get paid. For those who had longer-dated premium selling setups on before this volatility expansion (points at self), well, I feel your pain. Be patient and mechanical, and some of that pain will inevitably give way to a volatility contraction going forward.
Buy TGT @ $113-$114 till 03/09/2020Buy Target Corp at current price of $113-$116 (Avg $114) and hold it approximately till 09.03.2020 to take at $125.0 (+9,6%).
Reason of the exact date of 03/09/2020 - is the Avg expected Value (Return) equal to 0.21% daily. So in average the stock will grow by 0.21% daily.
I am sure the stock will rise because of the next reasons:
1. sustainable large company one of the leaders in the industry in USA
2. the price plunge is due to the company slightly less than expected forecast for upcoming 4q statement
3. the stock is considered as defensive assset (a.k.a. safe heaven)
4. the stock price is very cheap
Although, the price can slump down to $105 per share, so my recommendation is to take more on that level.
If it slumps to $105, the average price will be $109,5 stop-loss at $103 (-6%), take profit at $125 (+14%).
Have a Good Luck!

TARGET PRE EARNINGS RUN UP. Bullish trend, BreakoutI always love playing longs before earnings to get a free lotto on earnings.
$TGT Oversold Bounce to 122 then drop again to 105 or 90s Oversold indicators and Bounced from channel bottom (red color) suggested bounce to close recent gap at 122.5 then possible falling again to close lower gaps specially at 105 then at 90s which is about 1.6 fib from the top . if its break down red channel then will target 105 directly ..
Make the Move with Target this FebuaryTarget normally does really well around this time and the chart shows it. Past the redline is where you could put your stoploss or a bit further down.
Taking calls here would be decent, but over the green line is CONFIRMATION. Remember all lines of support and resistance are similar to rubber bands NOT metal rods. Trade carefully, NEVER be afraid to take the green.
$TGT - long, good risk/rewardNYSE:TGT - long for a bounce off the bottom trend line of bullish parallel channel
Target in Danger Currently in a critical situation having suffered a post earnings sell off.
The chart is full off gaps which exacerbate these moves.

TGT Symmetrical TriangleMACD looking good on 4 hr, higher lows, the last few candles based on close and wicks.
