I outlined this on Thursday in my IA meeting, and discussed why I liked GOOGL for a swing long, and what I was looking for to enter long. Friday gave the perfect entry opportunity, but what if I was looking for a fresh entry and missed it on Friday? I\u2019d be looking for a pullback and higher low \/ hold above the 2-day VWAP from Friday, with a loose stop toward Friday\u2019s low, for a swing long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><b>Continuation in RKLB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Another name I\u2019ve discussed in detail lately in IA, as it continues to build and hold up. I especially like how the name failed to break down and is now back on the cusp of a breakout. If RKLB\u00a0 can continue to build and hold above Friday\u2019s high, and its 20-day, I\u2019d be open to entering long against the LOD for a potential multi-day \/ week+ swing long. Of course, it\u2019s imperative that it continues to show r\/s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Breakout in NBIS<\/strong>: It has displayed impressive strength recently, post-earnings, and held up well.\u00a0If NBIS can push above its 10-day, that might be enough for me to enter long with a LOD stop, targeting multiple days of continuation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><b>Meme Mania in OPEN<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The meme mania continues to build in OPEN, and with Friday\u2019s breakout, it doesn\u2019t seem to be going away anytime soon. In fact, it set up perfectly on Friday\u2019s close for a continuation gap over the weekend into Monday. So what\u2019s my plan going forward? Firstly, regardless of the fundamentals and personal bias, it\u2019s firmly on the front side, so objectively, there is just no reason to be short right now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll continue to be open-minded and willing to both short and long intraday. When will I shift to shorting for the eventual A+ opportunity? Only after the stock extends to the upside or fails to follow through. So, either it needs to experience multiple days of upward expansion in both price and volume, or it needs to fail to follow through, i.e., it needs to have a first red day, or it needs to experience a significant shift in trend and character after failing to breach a key level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><b>Potential Liquidity Trap in PTIX<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: I\u2019m not holding my breath on this idea, but it\u2019s one I have alerts in. Why? Tiny float and immense volume traded on day 1 on Thursday. On Friday, it never really went away and continued to hold up decently well. So, if it begins to grind back over $5, I\u2019ll monitor price action and volume for a potential liquidity trap and squeeze through Thursday\u2019s key level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><b>Pops to Short in ELAB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Straightforward short idea here; I\u2019m looking for a day 2 push back toward $2.75 &#8211; $3 for failed follow-through and an intraday short opportunity back to the low $2s<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><b>Continuation in TSLA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Absolutely incredible strength displayed on Friday and closed back above $340 key area. If TSLA can continue to build and display r\/s, I\u2019d be looking for a long against the day\u2019s low with $350 target 1, and maintaining a core against the previous day\u2019s low for $360 lofty target 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*<i>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<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smbcapital.lpages.co\/smb-swing-trade-evaluation-template\/\">Get the SMB Swing Trading Evaluation Template Here!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/smbtraining.com\/blog\/smb-disclosures?_gl=1*v9kmsl*_ga*NjU4MzY5OS4xNjkwMDI4MDQ0*_ga_EQH1PLHMKM*MTcwMzQzNzIwMi44NS4xLjE3MDM0MzcyMzYuMjYuMC4w\">Important Disclosures<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traders, I look forward to sharing several of my top ideas with you all for the upcoming week, including both intraday and swing trade ideas.\u00a0 Continuation in GOOGL: This played out perfectly on Friday, for initial entries.
