Small swing here at $530
- quick comment here
- still a co that has >3.5% cash yields likely to grow double digits
- defn an at risk to AI situation (as are all software- frankly)
- but the beat and only small revision to guide doesn't show me any material deficiencies
- not the cheapest name at over 30x PE (still higher than META and GOOGL which i think have probably better protection to lead on the AI disruption front)
- so i'm keeping it small for now, not wed to it
- mkt wants to be bid into next week's highly telegraphed rates cut - not going to opine on this but to say - i have my positions ( OTC:GDLC , OTC:BITW are core, NASDAQ:NXT and NASDAQ:CELH are large, and a pile of cash with some swings and well hedged lol hello salad bot NYSE:SG again).
- so what we are seeing today is typical degross, reset. the fact it's not down 20% tells me there's lower risk it takes days to sort out.
- let's see. if i owned it, id not touch it
- if you don't need to own it, not a risk to waiting
- i'm just playing a lil bingo on a friday given my light exposure in the book, generally
have a good weekend everyone

Adobe Shares (NASDAQ: $ADBE) Plunge on Disappointing OutlookAdobe Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ADBE ) shares tumbled more than 9% in extended trading after the company released a disappointing outlook for its fiscal fourth quarter, overshadowing its strong third-quarter performance. Despite reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenue, the lackluster guidance raised concerns among investors about Adobe’s near-term growth prospects.
The San Jose-based software giant, renowned for its Creative Cloud and other digital media services, posted third-quarter revenue of $5.41 billion, marking an 11% increase year-over-year. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $3.76, exceeding the $3.05 reported in the same quarter last year. However, Adobe’s projection of fourth-quarter revenue between $5.50 billion and $5.55 billion fell short of analysts' estimates. The company also expects diluted EPS of $3.58 to $3.63, lower than Wall Street's anticipated range.
Despite the record net-new annualized recurring revenue (ARR) of $504 million from its Digital Media segment, Adobe’s cautious outlook reflects ongoing concerns about economic uncertainty, high interest rates, and cautious enterprise spending.
Technical Outlook: Key Levels to Watch
Adobe's stock price has been under pressure, reflecting broader market concerns. The shares are currently poised to break down below the lower trendline of an ascending triangle pattern—a bearish signal that could indicate further declines.
Here are the critical technical levels to monitor:
1. $500 Level: This is a crucial support zone that coincides with a psychological round number and aligns with multiple peaks and troughs from June 2023 to August 2024. A breakdown below this level could signal a shift in investor sentiment, paving the way for further declines.
2. $435 Support: A drop to this area could present a buying opportunity as it corresponds with a pre-gap consolidation zone during a significant uptrend observed between May and June 2023. This level also aligns closely with a swing low from May 2024, adding to its significance as a potential support point.
3. $386 Level: The next lower support sits at $386, where the stock could encounter buying interest near several historical peaks that formed from early February to late April last year. A failure to hold this level could set the stage for a deeper correction.
Resistance to Watch
On the upside, the key resistance level to watch is $550. If Adobe shares attempt a countertrend move, they may face selling pressure around this level, which represents a retest of the ascending channel’s lower trendline.
AI Innovations Yet to Prove Lucrative
Adobe has been at the forefront of integrating AI into its suite of products, including popular tools like Photoshop and Illustrator. The company has embedded its proprietary Firefly technology into these applications, aiming to enhance user experience and drive value. However, investors remain skeptical about Adobe's ability to monetize these AI advancements, particularly amid rising competition from nimble startups and rival firms like Salesforce and Workday.
On a recent earnings call, Adobe’s management emphasized their focus on enhancing customer engagement with AI tools rather than directly monetizing them. CEO Shantanu Narayen highlighted the potential for new content types, such as video, to open additional revenue streams in the future. However, the market's appetite for immediate returns and tangible financial impacts from AI innovations remains unfulfilled, contributing to the negative sentiment.
A Potential Shift to Bearish Momentum
Adobe's recent chart activity reveals a troubling pattern, with the stock price sitting at a precarious position just above key support levels. The 50-day moving average recently crossed above the 200-day moving average, forming a golden cross, a traditionally bullish signal. However, the failure to hold above the ascending triangle’s lower trendline suggests that this bullish momentum could be fading.
The stock’s RSI (Relative Strength Index) of 60.95 indicates that while it is not yet in oversold territory, there is ample room for further downside. Should the stock break below the critical $435 support pivot, it may trigger a wave of bearish sentiment, potentially leading to a broader sell-off.
Conclusion
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:ADBE ) faces a challenging landscape as it navigates economic headwinds and investor expectations for its AI-driven future. With critical support levels under threat, the technical picture suggests caution. Investors should remain vigilant, especially with the stock approaching key pivot points that could determine its near-term trajectory. While Adobe’s innovative product suite continues to perform, the market’s immediate focus will likely remain on whether the company can turn its AI ambitions into concrete financial gains, making it a stock to watch closely in the coming months.

Swing Structure:
The current swing structure is bullish but shows signs of exhaustion. After a swing liquidity sweep and meeting key parameters like inducement, the impulsive swing move was unable to sustain itself above the previous higher high (hH) level.
All Points of Interest (POIs) have been mitigated, and after sweeping the liquidity, the price is likely to close in the Premier zone of the swing, signaling a strong possibility of a sharp sell-off in the coming move.
A "Whale Scoop" entry model is preferred here, with resistance and supply zones also located at these levels. The fake breakout further supports the expectation of a deep correction.

Risks and rewards of buying ADBE nowThe fun or frustrations about buying shares is if you get it right , you make profits. But it also works the opposite ways. The longer you hold your losses the more emotional you become, blaming yourself for the bad decision (impatience, wrong capital allocation, too greedy, not sufficient research, etc).
One thing we need to know as investors is stocks do not move in a straight line up. It has its ups and downs. In the short term, the market is irrational and with it may not have anything to do with the company fundamentals. Thus, it is deemed as an opportunity to those who knows what they are doing and equally frustrates those who merely follow headlines or influencers' leads.
Invest with a long time horizon and choose your stocks wisely.
Adobe - Preparing a multi year breakout!NASDAQ:ADBE has been consolidating for some time and is definitely ready for a breakout.
Adobe is a stock, which is clearly heading higher on a macro perspective. Just two months ago, Adobe actually retested an important horizontal structure and managed to create bullish confirmation, followed by a reversal towards the upside. Eventually, Adobe will also break out of the ascending triangle formation, which has been forming over the past 5 years.
Levels to watch: $650

A retreat to lower 500I can see it going higher, maybe to 560, but by the mixed reviews on indicators, if this type of behavior chooses to push this farther, then it could get to that mark, but not with some sort of correction, or consolidation between 20 bucks before another channel breakout, we should see.
ADBE and the power of Fibs with AVWAP!NASDAQ:ADBE recently retraced to support at the 0.786 fib from the move to the February high and then gapped up today on a positive earnings. This likely to begin a 5th wave up that could take months to play out, similar to what we saw in 2021.
We can see several instances of it respecting key levels from 2021 fib retrace in the first two waves up in the recovery from the 2022 low.
I plan to participate in this move but will place an AVWAP on earnings and buy the first retest of it.
Why wait for that AVWAP? Notice that the purple AVWAP on the 06/08/23 candle, which was the last time that it touched the 430 0.786 level prior to gaping up into wave 3. This AVWAP acted as support multiple times in 2023 before going on to the February 2024 high. When ADBE broke down in February it retested this AVWAP before failing and retracing all the way back to the 430 0.786.
This mornings opening gap ran to that AVWAP and hit resistance. We're likely to see price test the green AVWAP from the February high before challenging and crossing the purple and proceeding.
