5ZM trade ideas
Is ZM Finally Buyable?ZM longs have been absolutely eviscerated since 2020. One of the quintessential names of the 2020 exuberance, it has since seen a 90% drawdown from the 2020 high to the 2023 low late last year.
However, ZM has seen a trading range between 60 and 75 for almost a year now. This basing has clear analogs to Wyckoff accumulation, and the failed breakdown in October with low volume and no follow through could have finally put in a durable bottom. The 50SMA crossed above the 200SMA in January, providing a clue about the possibility for a shift in trend on this beaten down name.
If ZM sees markup and can break out of this accumulation range, it is possible we could see a gap fill of the August 2022 earning gap around 97.4.
As a trade, a tight stop at the recent low of 63.06 presents a very favorable setup, with a potential > 10:1 RR.
There was a time when ZM was a clear no-touch, and for good reason. But after the absolute destruction in value over the last few years, to finally allow price to re-align with more reasonable valuation levels, this name can finally be taken back out of the penalty box.

Watch Trends.
Note Daily Time Frame.
Personally, I like 103 on a potential move to the upside.
There is a possibility of some small downside in the short term, but it's a favorable buy if you're bullish on Zoom.
Gap closes just over 100, I believe, so I'd use caution at that point.
I could see something like this if it wants to ride those short term trends upwards.
Breakout over this trend is likely to cause the higher price targets.
ZOOM OUT (lol, puns)
Weekly view.
RSI is the thing to note here. 74 vs 72 looking at a bounce, If you don't know indicators, this simply implies bullish still, it can break down pretty easily, but it needs to close the week that way.
This allows for a bigger view, which helps show how the price can justify such large swings.
Extreme lows are 14 and under.
Zoom (ZM) Looking to Breakout after Extended ConsolidationI really like this opportunity from ZM here. The stock is cheap on many metrics and the market is pricing in a bearish case. If ZM can post even minimal growth in 2024, the stock should rip.
We've had almost a year of consolidation in this $60-$74 range and we're attempting to break out. It's just a matter of time.
I'm targeting ~$97 to fill the gap made in August 2022. After such a long period of consolidation, a breakout should cause some short covering and bring in traders on a technical basis. If we break below the range, it would signal a failure and I would cut my losses
High probability trade
Target: $97 (+34%)
Stop Loss: $58 (-19%)

ZM Zoom Video Communications Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold ZM here:
or ahead of the previous earnings:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of RUM Rumble prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 60usd strike price Puts with
an expiration date of 2023-11-24,
for a premium of approximately $1.25.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Buy ZOOM ahead of their earnings.I have made several big calls this past month of stocks which I think could rally after their earnings call, and ZOOM is one of them...
Here is a chart break down of ZOOM's price action since its IPO back in 2019.
Stock was earning 120 million trading at $105 a share back in 2019 before Covid19 even existed. The stock has been slaughter the past 24 months falling 90%. However the past 6 months there is real evidence that the stock is trying to form a bottom and I believe the stock is a buy here now that is is only 5% off its all time low.
In Q2 2023 back in August, ZOOM announced new features which they were adding to their service which included AI tools. fast forward 1 month and ZOOM announced that their AI tool had already performed 1 million meeting summaries which suggests that their new AI premium upgrade has been very successful. I expect the stock next Monday after the closing bell to announce higher revenue than expected and this could give a stock with no expectations what so ever the opportunity to rally higher towards my TP of $70 which is 13% higher than where the stock currently trades today.
ZM: Zoom has officially topped...Short it.I'm short $ZM since earlier today, I believe it has peaked here. Investors are likely to take profits now that competition has increased dramatically for them.
They thrived when the world was locked down due to the threat of COVID-19, but now that vaccines will be widely available and distributed globally very soon, holding shares has become extremely risky. I'd urge everyone holding to sell and buy something oversold with proceeds...If interested in knowing what to buy now, contact me.
A short here has very low risk, I think it can last for a long time falling, so do your own due diligence with sizing to not risk more than 1-2% if it goes against you by 3 average ranges.
Cheers,
Ivan Labrie.
