NASDAQ:LRCX I bought a half size position on the initial earnings pop and I just brought it up to a full size position. I rarely bottom fish a stock but this one sold off hard into earnings and then beat expectations. It really needs to get up and over the 50 DMA (red) and the DT line to prove it is going to run but I like it here and have my stop just below the...

NYSE:LLY Tightening Up before earnings on Wednesday. This implies that neither buyers nor sellers are stepping up prior to the report (so far at least). I am not calling this either way. But, I think a big move is coming one way or the other. (I think it's going to be up. This name is high on my watchlist. Lets see what happens AFTER earnings.

I have had my eye on Box, Inc. since its last earnings. It has spent most of the time since then consolidating and letting the 50 DMA (red) catch up. I have also been looking at the AVWAP(s) from both earnings date and the 52-week high on Sept 17th (both light green). I have an alert set for a break above that tight area (both light green) where I will look for a...

NASDAQ:QCOM has gotten a lot of bad news over the past few months, and it’s share price shows it. However, the chip sector is doing well, and you cannot count QCOM as down and out. After setting a low on August 5th it has now put in a series of higher lows and is tightening up (coiling) which is forming a VCP. I like this technical setup and have an alert set in...

I have been looking at Hubspot since August and trying to figure out a good entry. Well, I am about ready to pull the trigger. The chart shows a series of higher lows and higher highs. It looks to me to be in an “Ascending Base.” I have an alert set for an entry just above yesterday’s opening price, in the wick. Should it trigger, I will start a one half size...

I have put on a ½ size position in “anticipation” of a reversal. I have been in and out of the AMEX:XBI trade several times over the last 2 months. Overall, I have made a small amount of $$$ on several trades. It looks like it may be in a pennant formation. We will not know that unless it continues upward from here. I have a tight stop on this just below...

AMEX:IWM small caps have been volatile for quite a while now. I expect that volatility will continue until after the election. When looking at a daily chart it is hard to see any kind of pattern but zooming out to a weekly timeframe it looks to me that it has established a solid uptrend. I will be looking for an opportunity to get long for a move back to the...

NASDAQ:LYFT I thought I published this idea back on September 17th when I went long. I started with a ½ size position on that date. I added additional shares on Monday the 23rd and again yesterday to bring it up to a full-size position. I am now hoping it will consolidate some of these gains. This is one I plan on trading around, meaning I may take some profits...

Enphase has been basing for about 10 months after a severe selloff in 2023. That base has been wide and loose until the June – July timeframe where it has tightened up and appears to have established an uptrend channel. I will be looking for a reversal in the coming days to weeks as it is likely that it will head back to the top of the channel. Should it start...

I have wanted to be bullish on the energy sector, but this chart tells me it is in a downtrend. We have a series of lower highs and lower lows. There seems to be some horizontal support around $86. However, that has been violated on the last lower low. I am terrible at shorting stocks, so I’ll stay on the sidelines unless or until the AMEX:XLE puts in a higher...

NYSE:CMG has quite a few technical indications that it is getting ready to make a measured move to around $63 a share. Longer term $70 seems to be an area where this upcoming move may encounter quite a bit of resistance. See the chart for notes. I am looking at this as being a “W” pattern and while the right side of the “W” is shallow, I think it qualifies “in...

NASDAQ:DDOG gets an upgrade this morning from DA Davidson to “Buy” driven by strong cloud solutions and expanding security management. That could be a fundamental driver. On the technical side, NASDAQ:DDOG has been basing for about 10 months and has now formed a VCP or Wedging pattern. That is the positive thing on the chart. The negative on the chart is it is...

I have been watching NYSE:ORCL since it reported earnings and have been waiting for it to consolidate that big earnings gap. It looks like it has done that, and it broke out of a pennant formation this morning. I started a ½ size position here at 168.18 and have a stop just below yesterdays low of 163.92. That is just over a 2.5% stop loss. Let’s see what...

NASDAQ:AMD looks to be developing a “W” formation, similar to a double bottom. There are quite a few of these formations on charts especially in the “Semis.” AMD stands out to me and looks to have a measured move from the breakout point (top of middle of “W” measured an equal move higher, see chart). The breakout looks to me to be $157.82 for a possible entry....

I have been long NASDAQ:SMH for months and have been up as much as 18%. I have given a lot of that back and am now watching this chart very closely. I did hang in for that 29% drop (shown on chart) and felt it was a shake-out. It started recovering nicely but dipped again. The only positive thing I can say about this chart is that it has managed to put in a...

I have posted about NASDAQ:CSLR before (link below). Just based on technical signals it looks like this one may be ready to pump up to around $2.40 a share. From yesterday’s close of $1.78 that is a $0.62 move or 34.8%. That is the initial target price. If all goes as planned by the company this has the chance of being a $6 or $7 stock in the next 12 to 24...

Looks to me that NASDAQ:TLT may be finally breaking a downtrend (Interest Rates Reversing Lower?). It is too early to tell for sure but it is an interesting development. This could be a double edge sword. Rates coming down may be good for stocks short term but longer term it may well mean the bond markets are starting to see a recession ahead. That would not...

AMEX:BITO is a in a massive Cup w/Handle Formation. I was just going through weekly charts in sector ETFs, and this just popped right out to me. I do not have much to say about this except that these types of formations often lead to upside breakouts. Having said that I have an alert set on the upper downtrend line. Should that trigger, I will go to a lower...
