PLUG 5+ year base, wedge breakout comingPLUG currently consolidating in wedge for approx. 2 months with support found on an up-curling 50 day SMA. Uptrending its way out of a 5+ year basing pattern (this thing seriously looks like a Gold stock), the wedge is located just under major resistance, which is all of the congestion of the 2014 selloff from the highs. Theoretically, PLUG is in the Wave 3 from an impulse wave that began in 2013, with a 1.0 (minimum) extension to +$12, the 1.618 takes you nearly to $20 (ignore date associated with Wave 3 completion) and of course more upside is possible). I I am looking to buy the wedge breakout @ approx. $4.5 and give this one some space and time. Short term target would be range of wedge/channel + breakout level which would put you @ about $5.50, or just below the prior highs, so there is potential for timely profits.
-This chart appears to be a perfect mix of a short term opportunity which is in the midst of a very bullish long term trend, hence, a potentially great trade, as this wedge breakout may give way to a substantial move higher within that longer term Wave 3.
-You could view this as a massive cup and handle as well. All the same to me. When the rounding bottom is this big, I just call it a base.
Positive macro-context for PLUG (long term)PLUG seems to be a quite safe bet for the future. Here are my arguments:
From a financial perspective, EBIT is negative, but total revenues are growing at a stable pace since years now. Plug will certainly find it's way to profits when industrialization optimized (see arguments for this below).
EBIT is lower, but is explained by higher cost of produced goods (and not by the fact that they sell less). Productive investment is a key aspect in such an innovation demanding industry.
Plug is specialized in fuel cells and created an expertise in powering the following:
-Drones (hydrogen backed tech allows for longer lasting flights for these aerodynamics and size of machine) :https://www.plugpower.com/products/progen/fuel-cells-for-aerospace-uav-applications/
-Forklifts
-Robots
-But also a promising truck segment (www.bizjournals.com
There should be a growing demand for these 4 in the context of a development of warehouses utilities and delivery services worldwide: www.bloomberg.com
Amazon (led by an incredible momentum currently) invested in PLUG: www.investopedia.com
I wouldn't be surprised to see an offer from Amazon to buy PLUG, which would make the stock skyrocket, giving to Amazon the opportunity to diversify even more.
Walmart (which is more resilient than average during COVID as a consumer cyclical stock) is a big client also:

PLUG - failed breakout vs. impending short squeeze?PLUG with 80% volume shorted today with a bearish candle on the daily..
The question is whether this was a failed break out w/ an inverted H&S or a set up for a short squeeze into earnings?
4.71 resistance but appears to have found support at 4.31 near end of day trading.
Expect that if 4.29 can hold, holding CALLS into earnings seem like an attractive idea. Below that level likely means we re-test the trend line.
