SNAP trade ideas
SNAP: How to proceed in this post-earnings?Hello traders and investors! Thanks to the earnings report , SNAP is flying today. But how to proceed when this happens? Is it time to buy, to sell, to go short, or just do nothing? The charts will give us an answer.
If you are in SNAP, I always advise to book at least half of your profits in a day like today, just in case, and then set a technical stop-gain . On SNAP, the technical stop-gain is below the $ 73.59, as this point was the previous All-Time High, and it is supposed to work as a support in the future.
In the next week I would just set a trailing stop-gain under the previous day’s low. If SNAP keeps going up, that’s great. If it drops, then ok, time to exit.
Is there any chance that it’ll fill this gap? Yes, but I find this unlikely, at least for now. This is a Breakaway Gap enhanced by the earnings report, and SNAP did a breakout from the ATH by doing this gap (I like to call this Monster Gap ). The last time this happened on SNAP the momentum was so strong that it prevented even a pullback. Let’s remind SNAP on October 2020:
What could happen on SNAP right now, if it can’t keep pushing up, is a sideways correction , until the 21 ema catches up with the price again in a few weeks, to offer us a new support level on SNAP.
If I were out and wanted to buy SNAP, I wouldn’t count on a pullback, but I would wait for it to cool down a little bit more, and for the Risk/Reward ratio to make sense again. If I buy right now, it would feel like I would be buying from someone who bought at the last dip, and will use me to book profits.
Eventually, the 21 ema will get closer to the price, and we’ll see a good opportunity then. For now, as someone who’s out, I’ll just stay out. There are many more interesting stocks around.
Remember to follow me to keep in touch with my daily studies, and if you liked this idea, please, support it!
Have a good weekend!

Consolidation , Short at market openingIf this gets over 73.59 , that will be the start of a ATH and a new uptrend. After just 3 months of consolidation i doubt it will do that. Same thing happen back With apple and Amazon at there last earnings back in May. Amazon was up 80$ premarket which put it at the top of consolidation, at the end of the day Amazon finish -70$. Im not saying this +9$ premarket goes Red , im saying that it will not hit a new high and will lose a significant chunk of its earnings.
First target fib support 67.53
If this gets and holds over to 74$ Negate
Lets see
SNAP 2h Chart SNAP is now forming its right shoulder to complete an inverted head & shoulders. If we are able to get confirmation and have it break the white line on the chart - we may see a solid breakout to even new all-time highs. It is trading above the EMA 9 / 21 / 50 / 100 but under the VWAP.
VWAP: 62.01
TP: 63.75 - 65.85 - 68.05 - 70+
Snap Inc. $SNAP is leading, now waiting for follow through The stock formed a long base while above its moving averages and in the last weeks is been leading the sector. So, I took position on NYSE:SNAP on the breakout above the $65 resistance level. Now waiting to a good follow through to buy more. A good buy level for me would be higher than $69.60.
The risk/reward ratio (2:1) has a target price above another resistance level, so I'll be very carefull once it gets there. Probably I'll just rise my stop to breakeven.
NYSE:SNAP is been having a really good revenue growth, annually and quarterlly. Its EPS is not as good as I'd like but it has the technicals that I look for.
$SNAP - Potential for a Bullish BreakoutSimple trade thesis here for you all!
SNAP has recently surged, and is flirting with all time highs yet again. We've been making higher lows after getting rejected off of 69.40 twice, and are looking to have another retest over the coming days.
If we break above 69.40 we likely visit 70.90, and above that we take a trip to 73.55 before ultimately carving out new all time highs.
Keep your alerts set for this one traders, SNAP tends to move aggressively. Don't get caught chasing!
