Traders,<\/b><\/p>\n

I look forward to sharing several ideas for the upcoming week with you all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several of my top swing trade ideas, which I shared in detail in my latest IA meeting on Thursday, materialized well on Friday for entries. Names like Ethereum (ETHA) and Tesla experienced awesome breakouts and follow-through. Those are two areas that will continue to be a primary focus of mine for the upcoming week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, in terms of fresh ideas, let\u2019s take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consolidation Breakout in Gold (GLD)<\/strong>: Not the easiest of trades, based on several obvious factors, but there\u2019s no denying the current setup. After significant momentum into new highs, Gold\u2019s spent over 3 months going sideways, digesting the move near its high. Across multiple higher timeframes, it looks increasingly likely to re-test those highs and potentially breakout, barring significant macro developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d be open to putting on a feeler\/starter position above last week\u2019s high in GLD, and sizing into the position if GLD clears and holds above $315, with a stop against the LOD, and trailed against the prior day\u2019s low should the move materialize, for a multi-day, up to a week long swing trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note that the prices and other statistics on this page are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions.<\/i><\/p>\n

Pop to Short in IMG<\/strong>: Countless opportunities last week in penny stock \/ low-float land. Before I give some general thoughts, here\u2019s my plan for IMG. If this pushes back toward $0.5 – $0.60 and fails to follow through, I\u2019d look to short against the HOD and failure zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But, after several weeks of seemingly excellent follow-through to the downside in small-gap gappers, without any outlier squeezes, the likelihood of an intraday squeeze has increased. With shorts becoming increasingly confident and potentially complacent, a significant squeezer could be around the corner, one that punishes the intraday add adders. So, I\u2019ll be on high alert for potential traps and reclaims above VWAP, for potential intraday longs going forward in any names that meet the criteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note that the prices and other statistics on this page are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions.<\/i><\/p>\n

Continuation in FNMA<\/strong>: The breaking news trade on Friday in FNMA was up there in terms of top opportunities, along with Ethereum and Tesla. Going forward, I see two potential fresh entry opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First, there is the breakout above $10. If the stock pushes above $10 and holds, I\u2019ll look to enter for an intraday momentum trade. Second, and more of a swing entry if not already positioned from Friday, would be a dip toward $9.6, a\u00a0 higher low, and back into the $9.8+ range. That would get me long, with adds above $10 and a stop below Friday\u2019s support for a multi-day hold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional Ideas:<\/span><\/h2>\n

META<\/strong>: Awesome post-earnings consolidation so far. Need further compression and tightness before looking for a potential breakout long continuation trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note that the prices and other statistics on this page are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions.<\/i><\/p>\n

PLTR<\/strong>: I\u2019ve been asked a bit about a potential short in PLTR. While it might be a bit overbought in the short-term, it doesn\u2019t yet meet the criteria for a potential reversion\/profit-taking trade. I\u2019d need to see further expansion by volume and range to the upside, or major relative weakness, before considering a possible short.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note that the prices and other statistics on this page are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions.<\/i><\/p>\n

TSLA<\/strong>: Beautiful breakout on Friday after discussing at length in Thursday\u2019s meeting. Plan remains the same here: targeting a move toward resistance of $340 and $350.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Please note that the prices and other statistics on this page are hypothetical, and do not reflect the impact, if any, of certain market factors such as liquidity, slippage and commissions.<\/i><\/p>\n

ETHA<\/strong>: Ethereum continues to lead, and the plan remains the same as outlined on Thursday. $4,200 was target 1, which it needed to clear. Now that it’s pushed above that zone, it opens up the potential for momentum toward resistance in the mid to upper $4000s.<\/span><\/p>\n
