SNAP trade ideas
SNAP - PEG Play (9/7/21)SNAP has been consolidating for quite some time now after its earnings gap up. Sadly it is trading below the AVWAP from the gap up which usually indicates it will fill the gap but it seems that buyers have stepped in to not let that happen. Many of the newer growth names are extended but this one has been more beaten up recently. We are still holding the RS above 50 and also seeing a declining ATR. We are also trading in a range within the PEG as well as seeing the Fibonacci EMAs in a very tight pattern which usually means a strong move in the next week is coming.
SNAP - ATR is decreasing, time to buyReferring the left side chart only
This is an hourly chart of SNAP backtested using my Script: " Relative Volume Strategy "
From backtested trades, we got stopped out two times in a row in this 70-75 price range. Still, this proves to be a significant price area.
The win-rate with the default settings is approx. 35%. Odds of winning next time should be in our favor (i.e. followed by a breakout).
It is assumed that the up-gap formed on July 22 (as a result of positive earnings) is a breakaway gap. If it fills, then it will be a matter of risks associated with the overall market (not SNAP as a company individually).
We will put a stop loss near the orange support line.

Other information (about the right side daily chart): This setup is just for my reference to see price actions from a higher timeframe. At the bottom, I pasted some target prices. We note that the current price is below average target.
Snap Holds Bullish Earnings GapSnap rallied hard one month ago following strong quarterly results. Now it may be ready to move again.
Notice the bullish gap on July 23 after the social-media platform’s profit, guidance, traffic and revenue beat estimates. SNAP has barely filled any of that gap, which indicates sellers are few and far between. The stock also held its early-July peak around $70, turning old resistance into new support.
Next, SNAP jumped back above its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA) on Monday and held that line on Tuesday.
Third, stochastics recently fell into an oversold condition and are now rebounding.
