Earningsanalysis
Evening star pattern, up 25% just in February prior to earningsSHOP has been a beast for along time! It has runup 25% just in February, so be careful for earnings on Feb 17th. The past 3 days show a bearish evening star pattern (not 100% perfect). I calculated the implied move to be 6% or $90 dollars. Options - 1068 in $1500 weekly calls, over 1600 in $1200 weekly puts. If you know how to play iron condor, I think that is best earnings trade o capture premium. They beat last earnings and raised expectations , its going to be hard to repeat, imo. Have a great long wknd!

CATCup and Handle pattern and trend line support with a resistance area of 140-141. The resistance was tested a few times and rejected but CAT is remaining well pithing the support. Earnings are coming up this week (Fri. Jul 31), however the overall market seems to be staying flat during this big earnings week, and this may suppress a possible ER run-up. Very mixed signals as the 20SMA crossed above the 200SMA, but showing a decline in the ATR, which may indicate a false move. Regardless of earnings, still look for any breaks of the support or resistance for a move up or down.
CARMAX ($KMX) 🏎️ | Save Your Marriage Using Only Carmax🚗 CarMax (KMX) slayed it last earnings season. While projections are grim this quarter due to the COVID slowdown, the longterm bull trend of CarMax and its general performance as a company ultimately has us looking for more upside.
Not only does CarMax have a strong presence in the in-person used car economy, but it also has a strong presence in online car sales (which one would think helped it sustain COVID better than others; we'll know when the numbers come out).
Another bullish thing CarMax has going for it is that some smaller used car dealers are having issues getting credit for customers, while bigger players like CarMax don't have this issue.
Given all that we are betting on bullish continuation after finding support, although there is a path for the bears here if this CarMax run turns out to be lemon.

Support:
Our first notable support for KMX is the S1 bullish S/R flip, orderblock, and gap-fill cluster. There is a lot going on here, and all that confluence makes it a logical spot for the bulls to find support.
If the bulls can't hold S1, they will have to be cautious as the bears will have a path to victory in front of them. Both bulls and bears will be looking at the S2 cluster for direction. Does a test of S2 give us a dead cat up to previous support as resistance? Or, can the bulls take the S2 momentum and run with it? We won't know unless we get there, but the bulls should be hoping we never have to find out.
Resistance:
The first resistance for the bulls is the R1 orderblock and gap fill at the prior swing high. The logic here is simple, we are likely to find resistance at the previous top.
Speaking of previous tops, the R2 orderblock cluster at the All-Time High (ATH) is bound to see a reaction if and when we test it. Of course, testing this level is something the bulls are hoping for, and there isn't much for the bears to do if we do.
Summary:
CarMax has been bullish for about a decade, we aren't rushing to bet against this one, to say the least. Still, a bit more correction before the bulls continue their stampede isn't out of the question. Does S1 hold? Bulls better hope so, because things get a lot less bullish below S1.

FUELCELL ENERGY ($FCEL) 🔋 | Will Fuelcell Bulls Give em' Hell?⛽📱Fuelcell energy expectations going into earnings tomorrow are poor to mixed. However, green energy stocks have been performing rather well recently, and there is a solid chance FCEL will continue to benefit from that sector-wide momentum.
While we aren't ready to open a long position on this one ourselves, we will take a look at some potential levels of interest to watch depending on the market's reaction to earnings tomorrow. This outlook will be geared toward the bulls, because of the general strength in FCEL and the Green Energy sector.
Support.
The S1 bullish orderblock could act as support if the overall market stays bullish and earnings are good but FCEL pulls back for any reason. The S2 S/R flip is another logical level to look for support, perhaps if the market/sector pulls back with more intensity or there is an earnings upset. The S3 orderblock and S/R cluster is the last hope for bullish momentum, as it offers the chance for a higher low in the uptrend. S4 and S5 meanwhile should act as support if the uptrend is lost. Here S4 is of particular note as it is acted as a major price pivot point previously.
Resistance.
The R1 bearish orderblock represents the current price pivot point. Breaking this level is the bull's first order of business. The next level of interest is the R2 bearish S/R flip. If R1 is broken, R2 becomes the logical target.
Summary.
There are lots of important support levels for the bulls, and many chances to hold the uptrend. It is logical assuming the market and sector keep moving that even a fair earnings report will be enough to keep FCEL moving up. We don't have a clear long setup here, but these are the levels to watch.

WINGSTOP still looks extremely bullish going into earningsLook for the next candle on the MACD to be a lighter red color take the buy
seems like it might get created on Monday morning around 10am
If Wingstop sells off a bit and a new MACD lighter red candle gets created
buy in
more than likely its going to beat earnings and gonna keep skyrocketing
as long as people are inside and Q2 earnings for every other company is on the downside then youre good on buying WING for earnings and until Q3
when a sell off might happen IF people start going back their jobs and this whole corona virus is over by Q3 earnings around September
to make a long paragraph short, Buy WING until Q3 announcements or when states start opening up again
then when everything begins to start going back to normal, sell everything and expect a huge sell off
Update on Clorox this is just an update, after the market opening,.... check previous update for explanation
Clorox Company (CLX) Clorox Company will be releaseing earnings in a few hours.
As far as technicals, clorox has been in a decent uptrend
price has respected the lower trend line
It respected the fib level 38.2 fib
From a fundamental view standpoint, one would think with the coronavirus pandemic going on they should blow earnings out of the water....
DXYLooking to hold my WLL till about 3p, dollar looks strong. Knowing my luck they will crush earnings & I will totally regret that trade, but with $DXY breaking up seems risky.

Let's Go! Time to see the much-anticipated earnings report from our savior 3M. We are hoping they are good and the chart may show this first hand already!
---
1. Fractal Trend showing an uptrend (Green background color) for MMM on the 1 hour chart. We are hoping this is not a false breakout like we saw previously.
2. We are currently in a quite parabolic move to the upside, thankfully we have a trailing stop riding behind this move to attempt to lockin as much profit as possible.
3. We are looking for a reaction at the R1 bearish orderblock where we hope to see Breakaway Scalper go neutral so we can get in on this tear!
4. If R1 can't hold, we will be looking at R2 and R3 as expected resistance going forward.
5. S1, S2, and S3 are all acceptable levels we are keeping an eye on but any lower and well... you guys know the rest.
Do a Sensata Selloff at $40 TargetFirst off, please don't take anything I say seriously or as financial advice. As always, this is on opinion basis. Now that we got that out of the way, let me get into my insights. Sensata recently had quite a disappointing earnings report. Revenue, operating income, and earnings per share all decreased at all fronts. This leads me to believe a sell target for $40 should be reasonable as a bearish potential may be quite imminent.
Daily Review: GOOG, AMD, and MSFTU.S. markets began the week on a strong note, led by small caps. The Russell 2000 Index finished the day up nearly 4% while the Nasdaq 100 lagged behind notching 0.5% at the end of the session.
This week represents a pivotal point of the rally as earnings season hits full swing with big cap tech reporting this week. Some names on deck later this week are TSLA, FB, AAPL and SHOP of which I will be reviewing on later posts this week. Today, we search for some market clues with GOOG, AMD and MSFT.
Tech Flexing
It's tough to bet against tech these days. Despite a global economic shutdown, large cap tech stocks have been resilient…on the charts. It will be interesting to see how they look on the balance sheet! We begin today with Alphabet, Inc (GOOG) on a weekly view.
GOOG has staged an impressive rally off the March 23 low making up nearly half its losses from its all-time high, $1532.11. At first glance, GOOG appeared to have broken through critical long term trendline support, but after review, GOOG has found support on a trendline drawn from the 2015 lows.
GOOG is heading into 2020 earnings after delivering strong 18% increase of revenue year over year. However, there are questions on whether the internet advertising giant will be able to impress this time around. The COVID-19 pandemic has definitely had an impact on whether businesses invest in online advertising, a large share of GOOG's revenue. Whether the magnitude of the impact shows up in Q1 earnings is yet to be seen.
Overall, GOOG bulls have enjoyed the past months worth of gains. However, there is reason to be cautious going into earnings as market strength and price begin to divert while overhead weekly resistance remains. Bias: Bearish .
Technically, Beautiful
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) has been the semiconductor darling for over a year ever since breaking out from a year long cup and handle pattern on October 2019. AMD is now up 100% since that breakout and COULD be poised for more upside. I emphasized could on purpose, because on the weekly chart AMD is knocking into resistance at $59.27. Any break higher may also be met with RSI divergence. AMD in my opinion is a tough buy at these levels as the risk reward is not favorable going into earnings.
On the plus side, AMD is a beneficiary of being partnered with Sony and Microsoft who are both scheduled to be releasing brand new gaming consoles later this year. How these schedules are impacted by COVID-19 is yet to be seen. Nevertheless, I would not be surprised if AMD pulled back a bit before heading higher. Overall, I like the stock long term from a technical and fundamental perspective, but on the short term I'll be waiting on a dip. Bias: Bearish .
Trillion Dollar Baby
Above is the daily view of Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). Trading 8% below its all-time high, MSFT is going into earnings in potentially in a make or break position for the broad market. MSFT makes up the largest percentage weight of the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) and today the index was lagging behind throughout the trading session. Either, MSFT and big tech have run out of gas or this is a healthy pause before marching back into all-time highs.
If MSFT does pull back, there is not much support. The rally has been a straight shot up from the lows. MSFT is a tough buy here especially after the discouraging performance of the NDX at the start of the week. Bias: Bearish .
Pivotal Week Ahead
With MSFT, AAPL, GOOG, AMZN and FB all reporting fiscal year Q1 2020 earnings this week, we should get a better grasp of how the market will trade in the months ahead. We must also assume that companies will be doing their best to lay down the framework to ease in the harsh reality of Q2 earnings, which undoubtedly will more accurately reflect the impact of the global economic shutdown. Tomorrow we have Tesla, Facebook and Apple. Have a great evening!
3 ways to play this earnings | Beyond Meat Technical Analysis3 in-depth scenarios taking you through how I plan on playing earnings with NASDAQ:BYND
Scenario 1: Mini Falling Wedge (Bullish)
If this is indeed a falling wedge, we should see it smack both support and resistance 3 times prior to its decision.
If this is the case, I'll be looking to grab a position later this week for a short-term trade.
Scenario 2: Massive Bullish Channel
This is why we need to be very patient with this trade. TA would tell you we should see another retest with even lower lows before breakout long-term. If we hold under I'll back up the truck and prepare to load up the puts.
Scenario 3: Beautiful Earnings Rip
In the case of a massive breakout, I will aim to grab a few calls with some time (expiring 2 weeks after earnings) with a strike around $120. If we get a solid correction I'd hope we can grab something like $115 strikes for the price of the $120 strikes at open.
Once again, if breakout is successful we will see price movement toward $120 before earnings most definitely. If we grab 3 or 4 $115 calls expiring may 22, we will probably be able to sell 2 for our original investment plus profit. This would allow us to hold the remaining contracts through earnings.
"Risk it for the biscuit" but secure your profits at the same time :)
Depending on the next 48 hours, I will choose one of these scenarios. We will ball out, this is Easy Loot.
DO NOT TRADE THIS! YOU WILL LOSE MONEY...
