Bullish IdeaNOW had earnings the other day beating both revenue and earnings, however fell due to some fundamentals.
From a technical standpoint, VWAP suggests buyers are supporting the stock at the low price near the floor. Price looks as if it's ready to break thru the ceiling and recover some of it's lost ground from yesterday. VWAP suggests buyers are supporting it at this low price and in addition, it looks like it can break thru a few key Daily moving averages.
This is a day trade. I'm not looking to swing it, however, depending on how strong the possible move is, and from the overall market and sector sentiment, I may consider scaling down and leaving a few runners.
This is not financial advice, merely my opinion. Remember, there is no such thing as a guaranteed move!
NOW Entry, Volume, Target, StopEntry: when price clears 563.63
Volume: with daily volume greater than 1.39M
Target: 597 area

This swing trade idea is not trade advice and is strictly based on my ideas and technical analysis. No due diligence or fundamental analysis was performed while evaluating this trade idea. Do not take this trade based on my idea, do not follow anyone blindly, do your own analysis and due diligence. I am not a professional trader.
NOW-SELL strategyThe stock is overbought and it's in a too steep angle above the current GANN support lline. I suspect we will see a break/correction below the support $ 495 and to correct to $ 475 GANN 1/1 support area,
Strategy is SELL @ 510 and take profit @ 478. Stop-loss should be a financial one when desired.
$NOW in a nice downward channelWatching NYSE:NOW this week for a short position. The second top touch of the channel was super recent so its not a super strong resistance. However considering it runs parallel with a strong underside of the channel it gives me more confidence. If we get some confirmation to the downside we have a good amount of room to the downside.

Perfect Buy Points: IPO’s – The Primary BaseJS-Masterclass #8:
Perfect Buy Points: IPO’s – The Primary Base
When it comes to investing in IPO stocks, new issues don't play by the usual rules.
Companies making initial public offerings draw a lot of investor attention. That often results in unusual and brand-new chart patterns. Volatility can rise as investors size up demand for the new stock. Yet there are opportunities in these cases, if you can spot the correct characteristics amid the price-and-volume action.
The framework of a good IPO base is simple. The decline from peak to low usually doesn't top 20%, but the most volatile markets have produced declines of up to 50%. The length is often less than five weeks and can be as short as seven days. These two factors alone make IPO bases wayward cousins compared with proper bases, such as the cup with handle and flat base, which need at least five to seven weeks of work.
In an IPO base, the pattern typically starts within 25 days of the stock's first day of trading. Know the important similarities with regular bases. For example, the buy point is drawn by taking the prior high and adding 10 cents. The price gain on the breakout should be strong.
There are ways to evaluate these blind spots, however. Important factors include seeing a shallow correction within the base during normal market conditions, a large increase in price and a close near session highs on the breakout day, and heavy volume on the breakout day and week.
Also, the stock should generally form the base above its IPO price.
Example - ServiceNow (NOW)
The business software company, went public in June 2012, at 18 a share and has built its primary base during the period from the initial offering to April 2013 when the stock developed its first perfect buy point.
