MASTERCARD (MA) BEARISH FORECAST
after a bullish breakout of the key weekly/daily level,
it looks like bears are still willing to push and the breakout might turn to be false.
look at this triple top pattern on 1h with two lower highs,
then break out of minor support and retest with a bearish reaction...
looks like stock will drop lower.
initial target is 230!
good luck!
MASTERCARD - LONG with DISCOUNT!Hello traders,
I am going to analyze the Mastercard market ( NYSE:MA ), where I entered trade yesterday.
My intended entry point was too far from the zone, so I had to w8 for a pullback.
That happened yesterday and we could enter the trade with a DISCOUNT.
Sometimes setup is very good, but Price Action does not allow to enter the trade. Never mind, we have another 2000 markets that we monitor, so there is always some entry ;).
Have a good trading

MA in troubled skiesStory
March Retail sales surprise was -0.7% as they fell by 8.7%, that the largest drop going back 28 years. Manufacturing anther data does paint a pretty picture too. Low retail-sales activity is bad for companies that make their money based on consumer spending (transactions).
Mastercard, Visa, Amex and Discover all get a percentage cut (a small one) from the payments they process (Swipe fees) so lower spending can hurt their revenue.
Expectation
MA's Earnings on 29 Apr may not matter as much, if the market remain's in turmoil.
I am aim for 236 as Target

MAI like the retrace into demand with MA here and think we can head higher and push towards 290+. I think this current demand zone will hold and provide a good base for it to rally. Not much supply after the initial supply zone that was tested today (well there is some).
I’ll watch for a move back up into supply and if we can clear today’s high, don’t think there should be any issues going right up to 290 - 300.
Mastercard trading thoughtsMA are currently hovering between reaction and rally, and could go either way. If the price heads up above 320, then the uptrend that ended on 19/2/20 at 344 could be resumed. If it falls below 280, then a downtrend will begin. Although there may be support around 270 (based on the prices between Sept and Oct last year), I will watch to see if this is in danger. If it is, then 220 could be next - over a three month period. Of the two scenarios, I consider this more likely in the current environment. My preferred trades would be a long put 3 months out with a strike around 250 or a debit put spread close to the money, same expiry.
Patience pays off after thirty years....How many can wait for a golden opportunity for a solid 30 years ? We are talking about Mastercard who has finally gained approval for a joint venture in clearing business with China's central bank. Read here .
While this is a B2B business tie-up, I believe Mastercard once gained entry to the China market would then be tapping the retail market. Perhaps, not its credit card but on its powerful payment network.
Like the S&P500, it enjoys a very nice bullish trend and one would have made more than 2500% returns if he holds this share since 2009.
Wait for the pull back and find a good opportunity to buy this great company.
