I'm watching 38.12 as Resistance...I laid out some supporting evidence that I currently see, looking at the chart of NYSE:X This has been consolidating for a couple of weeks leading up to its' earnings report and 38.12 has positioned itself as a long term supply zone. It looks as if it's going to take a ride down the roller coaster to previous demand zones. Which leads me to believe, NYSE:X will coast right on by the 1st demand zone and test the 2nd support level before consolidating again and making its' next move. I am interested in the following short plays: 38 Put and 37 Put expiring 2/14 37 Put and 35 Put expiring 2/28 Again, my beloved TradingView traders, I am not a financial advisor (yet) nor am I your next financial guru. However, I am a student of the game and love to share my thoughts on what could be! My plan is to check back in a couple times a week and leave any updates along the way. Good luck on your trading journey and remember... Always, Always, Always Take Profits!

U.S Steel's $14.9 Bln Merger with Nippon Faces White House BlockOverview: U.S. Steel’s proposed $14.9 billion merger with Nippon Steel is facing a major roadblock as President Joe Biden is reportedly set to block the bid, citing national security concerns. This development follows intense scrutiny from the White House, labor unions, and bipartisan political opposition, throwing the future of the deal into uncertainty. Merger Background Nippon Steel, Japan’s leading steelmaker, announced its intention to acquire U.S. Steel in December 2023 with the goal of creating a global steel giant. The proposed $55-per-share offer promised significant enhancements to U.S. Steel’s production capabilities, technological innovation, and overall competitiveness, especially against state-supported competitors like China. Despite these promises, the merger faced hurdles, including regulatory reviews and objections from U.S. labor unions concerned about job security and mill closures. U.S. Steel shareholders supported the merger in April 2024, and regulatory approvals from other countries were secured, but the U.S. approval remained elusive. White House Intervention and National Security Concerns: Two sources familiar with the situation revealed that President Biden plans to block Nippon Steel's acquisition, emphasizing the potential national security risks. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) still needs to make its recommendation, but there’s growing speculation that the President’s stance may influence the committee’s final decision. This situation highlights a significant geopolitical dimension, with the U.S. government wary of foreign influence in critical industries, particularly from non-allied nations. The Biden administration's concern centers on maintaining control over domestic production capabilities vital to national security, especially amid rising tensions with state-backed Chinese competitors. Market Reaction and Investor Concerns: U.S. Steel’s stock experienced a sharp decline, closing at $29.38, which is approximately 47% below Nippon Steel’s $55-per-share offer. This wide deal spread reflects investor skepticism that the merger will proceed. Merger arbitrageurs noted that while CFIUS typically recommends action before the President makes a decision, the current scenario appears reversed, adding to market uncertainty. Frederic Boucher, a merger arbitrage specialist, remarked, “Is the President trying to pressure CFIUS into recommending the deal should be blocked? Investors aren’t waiting for clarification and are exiting quickly.” This sentiment is evident as options trading volume on U.S. Steel surged, reflecting heightened bearish bets on the stock. Potential Impact on U.S. Steel: The failure of the merger poses serious implications for U.S. Steel’s future operations. The company has warned that a collapse could jeopardize thousands of union jobs and lead to the closure of some mills. U.S. Steel also highlighted the potential shift of its Pennsylvania headquarters, a move that could disrupt local economies and the broader U.S. steel industry. Nippon Steel had committed over $2.7 billion in investment in U.S. facilities in Pennsylvania and Indiana, contingent on the deal’s approval. Without the merger, these investments are at risk, further straining U.S. Steel’s ability to modernize and compete globally. Technical Analysis: From a technical perspective, U.S. Steel ( NYSE:X ) shares are navigating volatile trading conditions. The stock fell by 17% in extended trading on Wednesday but showed some resilience, rising 2.11% in Thursday’s premarket session. The price movement suggests a potential bullish reversal pattern could emerge if normal trading supports this premarket rally, especially if investor sentiment stabilizes. Outlook: The unfolding situation underscores the complexities of global mergers in strategic industries, particularly when national security considerations are at play. For U.S. Steel, the road ahead is fraught with regulatory hurdles, and the Biden administration’s position is a critical variable that could shape the company’s future trajectory. Investors will need to closely monitor further developments, particularly the CFIUS decision and any official announcements from the White House. As the debate continues, the broader implications for U.S. industrial policy and foreign investments in critical sectors remain a focal point for market participants.

Intuition Stock X Short SetupLaying in bed yesterday morning I asked for a stock and immediately got X and the number 34. This is really just journaling these ideas for reference later to see what they end up doing. It's up over 3% today, and I know the last idea, DAL had a decent move right after I got it and made a swing low and popped pretty decent. Btw, to fill in the details, I use dowsing with a pendulum for answers. Since this is a decent move up today right after I get the name, I'm wondering if this will be the pattern where you fade the first move right after I get the name? The message on this is to watch for a reversal down, but up in the near term. I also was given dates. The 11th as an exit of the long (though I don't have a ton of faith in this), and a short entry on the 16th. It might be that there is a sideways to down choppiness until the 16th, but I'm not sure. The area to watch for a reversal is around $43. It's not far from there now, and it may go a bit higher, but should reverse down. That's all for now.

Nippon Steel's Acquisition Sends U.S. Steel Stock PlummetingPresident Joe Biden's expressed concerns over Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel ( NYSE:X ) have ignited a flurry of political speculation and market volatility. With Biden's impending statement raising questions about national security implications and regulatory scrutiny, investors brace for potential obstacles to the $14.9 billion deal. Political Opposition and National Security Concerns: Biden's plan to voice apprehension over Nippon Steel's acquisition of the iconic U.S. Steel underscores mounting bipartisan scrutiny and national security apprehensions surrounding the deal. Democratic and Republican senators have voiced reservations, citing concerns over the lack of consultation with U.S. Steel's main union and the strategic importance of the steel industry to national defense. Market Reaction and Investor Sentiment: News of Biden's intervention sent shockwaves through the financial markets, with U.S. Steel's stock plummeting by 12% amid heightened uncertainty and speculation. Investors react swiftly to political developments, recalibrating their positions amidst the prospect of increased regulatory hurdles and potential delays in the acquisition process. Nippon Steel's Strategic Maneuver and U.S. Steel's Response: Nippon Steel's ambitious bid to acquire U.S. Steel was driven by optimism surrounding Biden's infrastructure bill and expectations of favorable spending and tax incentives. However, Biden's intervention injects a new layer of complexity into the deal, raising questions about its viability and regulatory approval. U.S. Steel, founded over a century ago and deeply entrenched in American industrial history, faces mounting pressure amid declining revenue and profit margins. Implications for the Steel Industry and Global Trade: Biden's stance on the Nippon Steel acquisition underscores broader implications for the steel industry and global trade dynamics. The intersection of economic policy, national security considerations, and international relations shapes the regulatory landscape, impacting the strategic direction of major corporations and influencing market sentiment.

Japan's Nippon Steel to Acquire U.S. Steel for $14.9 BillionJapan's Nippon Steel clinched a deal on Monday to buy U.S. Steel ($X.) for $14.9 billion in cash, prevailing in an auction for the 122-year-old iconic steelmaker over rivals. The deal marks the latest step in a gradual decline for the iconic 122-year old company, which was once the largest company on the planet. It was one of the first major conglomerates and a symbol of American industrial might. But it is no longer even the largest US steelmaker, having been surpassed by Nucor Steel years ago. Earlier this summer the United Steelworkers union vowed to only support a proposed offer by another unionized American steel company, Cleveland Cliffs, to buy US Steel, in a cash and stock deal then valued at $32.53 a share, or 40% less than Nippon’s all cash offer. The US Steel board rejected that offer and started considering other bids. US Steel’s statement said that Nippon Steel has a strong track record of safety in the workplace and working collaboratively with unions, that all union contracts will remain in place and that Nippon Steel is committed to maintaining these relationships uninterrupted. Technical Analysis U.S. Steel (NYSE: NYSE:X ) has since reacted to the news of the buyout offer from Nippon Steel surging to about 26% today as of the time of writing, with the stock trading above all its Moving Averages. United States Steel has also broken the rising trend up in the medium long term.
