Crowdstrike Holdings Testing Support, Whats next?Hi guys! This is a Technical Analysis on Crowdstrike Holdings (CRWD) on the 1 Week Timeframe.
Since this is a WEEKLY chart, its important to note that the current candle is not yet confirmed and closes end of trading Friday, 08/11/2023
Lets take our attention to the Orange circle highlighting current price action.
We have reached a critical SUPPORT zone.
A place where 2 SUPPORT levels converge
1. BLUE LINE - the 21 W EMA
2. BLACK SUPPORT TRENDLINE - 6 month support trend line
Currently we have "WICKED" or bounced from this convergence of supports.
It is crucial that we close this weeks candle ABOVE this zone.
Critical also to stay above the 21 W EMA, as doing so indicates BULLISH TREND.
Confirming BELOW would indicate BEARISH Trend.
*** If we see confirmation of SUPPORT
-> this can be an ENTRY ZONE for a potential trade/bounce back up.
*** How ever its a little too soon to tell
We are also currently BELOW another TRENDLINE thats labeled "Support turned RESISTANCE".
It be nice to see PRICE get ABOVE this, come end of week.
Notice also the RED CIRCLE that shows our REJECTION from a convergence of RESISTANCE.
Here we have 2:
1. being the ORANGE horizontal resistance line
2. Slanted BLACK LINE
Take a look also at the LARGE UPPER WICK and how multiple candles have LARGE UPPER WICKS.
This indicates SELL PRESSURE and that this area is a tough area to break to the UPSIDE.
It can give off further bearish momentum to the downside.
We also have GOLDEN CROSS of the:
1. 21 EMA
2. 50 SMA
BUt this alone is not enough for the BULLISH CASE.
We need to have price stay ABOVE for it not to be short lived and become a FAKEOUT.
Worst case scenario for now if we CANNOT maintain SUPPORT at our current area.
ANd we end up breaking below 21 EMA & 6 MONTH SUPPORT LINE.
Look to the 50 SMA as a SUPPORT level, it is currently pointed down so where ever it converged with price action at the time if a hypothetical price decline.
If that fails, look to the ORANGE " Previous Resistance Trend from TOP" line. That would actually be a wonderful zone, provided we maintain SUPPORT.
-> This would be another zone to enter POSITIONS for a trade.
Now lets take a look at our Indicators.
1. RSI -> We printed a Lower High, with RSI going BELOW the BLACK Moving Average.
If you look LEFT, there is evidence that when we do this, price tends to drop. So be alert.
2. STOCH RSI is also in the process of printing a BEARISH CROSS. If this happens BEARISH moment will enter, leading to the probability of further price DECLINE.
-> If you look LEFT, everytime we point down, it has coincided with price DECLINES.
3. MACD, with the printing of light GREEN histograms that are small in size, this also is an indication of waning of BULLISH momentum. If we see a CROSS between blue/orange lines where BLUE goes under the ORANGE -> this will lead to an injection of BEARish momentum and further price DECLINES.
CONCLUSION:
CRWD has reached a critical SUPPORT zone, for us to start our descent back to the all time highs we need to maintain SUPPORT here. Some signs point to bullishness where others give off signs of continuation of a DECLINE from our REJECTION zone. But the first thing that needs to get done is confirming SUPPORT above the mentioned zones. Important to see what price action and the indicators do come end of the week.
Stay tuned for more updates on CRWD in the near future.

Crowdstrike
Pullback Buy in CRWDThis cybersecurity stock has been a top performer in 2023.
After a vicious Stage 4 downtrend that wiped out 70% of its value in the 2022 bear market, CRWD has come ripping off the low this year.
It reclaimed its 200-day moving average last month and continues to advance higher.
The dashed line on the chart above shows a key support/resistance level in CRWD. The stock found resistance here earlier in the year and it has so far served as support after getting above the 200-day.
The stock is also sitting on its 50-day moving average which should serve as additional support.
I would consider buying here with a stop just below the 200-day line at $133. This would represent a 7% risk on the trade.
CRWD CrowdStrike and the U.S. Gov Agencies Hit By CyberattackIf you haven`t bought CRWD here:
Then you should know that CrowdStrike is a leading provider of cloud-based endpoint security solutions that protect against cyber threats.
In light of the recent news regarding cyberattacks on multiple U.S. government agencies, it is reasonable to expect an increased focus on cybersecurity measures, which could potentially benefit cybersecurity stocks in the market. These attacks highlight the vulnerabilities present in the software systems used by government entities, underscoring the urgent need for robust cybersecurity solutions.
The fact that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is actively investigating the breach indicates the seriousness of the situation and the government's commitment to addressing these security threats. As such, there may be a heightened emphasis on strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure and investing in advanced technologies to defend against future attacks.
Furthermore, the reported involvement of a Russian-speaking hacking group known as CLOP in previous attacks serves as a reminder of the persistent and evolving nature of cyber warfare. This continuous threat landscape necessitates ongoing innovation and investment in cybersecurity.
Considering these factors, cybersecurity stocks have the potential to experience an upward trajectory. Companies specializing in threat intelligence, network security, endpoint protection, and data encryption could be in high demand as organizations and governments seek to fortify their defenses against cyber threats.
My price target for CRWD is $192 by the end of the year!
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
CRWD: Bullish setup points towards $240-270CRWD sits at the convergence of two mega trends: Cyber security and AI. Strong impulsive move off the low combined with a 3 wave pull back and subsequent break of the W1 high implies a low-risk entry point ahead of earnings. Ultimately expect CRWD to reach quadruple digits over the next few years.

CRWD Potential for Bullish Continuation | 2nd February 2023Looking at the H4 chart, my overall bias for CRWD is bullish due to the current price being above the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a bullish market.

$CRWD: Down trend expired as a failure...CrowdStrike offers a high reward to risk setup here, buying into strength after the recent daily timeframe down trend signal has expired without hitting the target in time, this type of scenario warrants a mean reversion move back to the distribution area where the move started from a few weeks ago, in a similar amount of time as the projected decline. I like that analysts who used to be bullish on the way down have capitulated and turned pessimistic on the stock as a bonus here.
If Cloud remains, then cybersecurity is THE next BIG thingLet me spell something out for everyone
Digital workplace
1980s 2022 2026 & Beyond
Memo > Email > Internet > Mobile > instant messaging > Video calling > Meta-verse
As we move more, if not all of our collaboration into the digital world, we rely on faster and faster decision making, as the corporations who cut down their decision making process benefit from changes in the market place.
If all corporations are using a meta verse to create an always on virtual office, where everyone is collaborating (not like the one Zuck showed us) and are located anywhere around the world! Imagine if those meeting were to be hacked, people stealing IPs and ideas! Can you just imaging who many corporations would be held to ransom? Who would even insure them?
I personally thing CyberSecurity will become a permanent fixture, like Sarbane Oxley or basel 2 is to finance! It will become mandatory for everyone in the S&P!

CRWD technical drawing from a TA Noob.bottom line is support, top horizontal line is previous resistance line and angled line is a channel line. at the center where 2 lines meet is a breakout point, basically it needs to go above that to have a breakout or it will hit resistance and move back down possibly to previously shown support.
What do you guys think?
Basically we need a confirmation of the bullish pattern and the share needs to move and hold above 205 which is a Fib retracement level of resistance.
I expected this stock to not hold and move down, hopefully to below 180 as I am short.
Today we had good news (catalyst) plus strong market pushing up.
Please let me know what you guys are thinking.
Thanks.
P.S. If anyone sees this who has a lot of experience and is good at TA, please correct me on what I did not do correct.
