GD trade ideas
GD: $140 Short Target -> $160+ June PotentialFirst off, don't take anything I say seriously or as financial advice. This is on opinion basis (as always). That being said, let get into my analysis. I am hoping for a positive earnings call for General Dynamics tomorrow, which is why I recommend getting this ASAP as it is worth the risk to me. Likely, it will pass the $140 price point if that is true real soon and has a bullish potential to go all the way up to $160 within two month. It is too early to call this a long, but I think as a short it isn't high risk.
GD - 4/28/2020GD - Tenkan sen crossed over Kijun sen and price moves up. Cloud ahead predicts sellers will sell from their purchases from March low of $100. On the other hand, the Fib from recent low and high shows a 61.8% point is likely around $153 - $155. This would be the glass ceiling or resistance level for now.
GD facing inflection pointwww.cnbc.com
The day chart shows GD facing an inflection point now, precisely it is in a symmetrical triangle pattern where it can breaks out either way, up or down.
I am more inclined to go with the upside rather than down for various reasons I shared on S&P500 chart.
Let's see how it perform over the next few weeks.

GD long call spread converted to long call optionAs explained in the video, I initially opened a long call spread by buying the 175$ strike and by selling the 180$ strike. As the stock got completely crushed all week, I decided to close my sell 180 call for a profit. Now I only have the remainder of the 175$ long call. If the stock has a significant rally, I could either hold my long call and try to make a large trade or I could de-risk by reselling the 180 call. Overall, I believe I am in a good position, and the stock market rally today on 5/10/2019 really helped this trade bounce back.
GD approaching resistance, potential drop!GD is approaching our first resistance at 187.10 (horiozntal overlap resistance, 61.8% fibonacci extension, 50% fibonacci retracement) where a strong drop might occur below this level pushing price down to our major support at 165.58 (horizontal overlap support, 50% fiboancci retracement).
Stochastic (55,5,3) is also approaching resistance where we might see a corresponding drop in price.
$GD - The market's 8 ball I've been a way too bearish in general to keep up with any ticker in particular that'd give a different perspective on an individual sector / under-performers / out-performers. The setup as is - is more-or-less what every other equity looks like to me right before a pretty deep continuation downward follows. A few months back, when I realized the divergence between the financial sector & the S&P, I noticed the real distinct correlation to 2015-2016 some of the under-performers had; meanwhile the S&P continued making new highs on market rotation, but I kept it in mind. If you haven't noticed the amount of stats Bloomberg mentions in relation to stocks back in 2015 - i.e. "S&P having worst 3 weeks since Aug 2015 (10/22/2018)" - it's something to consider. Back in 2015 we were in the same exact position (almost); there was the emerging market debt crisis, worries about "China slowing down", & the dollar surging + oil plummeting. But some people forget that it's not the rising dollar that spreads EM contagion - it's the rising interest rates. Rates have continued to increase but $DXY has yet to come even close to its 2016-2017 high. I'm getting a little off topic but - $GD is one in a handful of equities that DIDN'T commit to the same downfall the entire market did back in 2015. Not even close, actually. Check back on the chart to 2015/2016 where rectangle marks same pattern as where we're at now. I think if there's something to be majorly worried about in the upcoming weeks - you should keep this one in mind. If it didn't break the 3.5 year WMA support back then, but it does now - we should be pretty worried. I'll stay neutral, for now at least.
