Canopy Growth (CGC) could parabolic for these reasons

0

Canopy Growth (CGC) could leave Wall Street with with high hopes (pun intended). I like the daily chart of Canopy Growth (CGC).

Here’s what technical’s are looking at:

CGC Daily Chart

You’ll notice a little stair step pattern. The stock will jump, then drift sideways, then jump again. That’s a very common consolidation pattern that normally leads to a continuation. 

In this case, it hasn’t broken out yet. When we back up to the weekly chart, you can see how CGC got clobbered off its highs.

CGC Weekly Chart

Guess what pattern you find on the weekly chart? The same stair step. What’s even better is how it’s making this consolidation at the 200-period moving average on the weekly chart. While it’s resistance right now, once it busts through, that becomes support.

This is a good setup where the stock looks to recapture a support level. Once that happens, you’ll start to see the bulls come back in force. 

Ideally, I’d like to see this make it’s way up to the 30-period moving average. That would be a nice 25% move from here.

Markets Respond positively post Geo-political fears (SPY January 13 325 Puts)

0

The Geo-political fears were eased yesterday and the markets responded in a big way. That continued overnight and futures are green.

In the premarket charts at the moment we see that the 10 moving average line is below the 20 moving average line on the 5, 10 and 15 minute charts. The SPY is in a tough spot here because the moving average lines are very close to each other and have been moving sideways most of the morning after making another solid run-up early this morning in the premarket.

It has shown potential to move higher given what we saw the past few days but it’s a tough call here. If it gaps up, and it looks like that is the case, I believe because of the moving averages at the moment and the negative jobs report this morning that the SPY could pull back this morning before possibly continuing higher.  If it drops, it might happen quickly right at the open, but if not, I would wait for a pull back at resistance or a head and holders pattern to confirm the move lower. 

In order for this trading plan to be in play SPY must remain trading below that key resistance level near $326.40. If I see these it would trigger a buy to open followed by sell to close put option move today.

Resistance:  326.30, 326.40, 326.50 Support: 326, 325.80, 325.50

Today’s Trade of The Day is SPY January 13 325 Puts

Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) call options could win big

0

Snap Inc (NYSE:SNAP) looks primed for a rally in our opinion. We originally picked this one last December 2019 near $6 a share. Obviously at $16 the company has performed very, very well.

This time around the story is a little different. Snapchat isn’t out of favor and hated, but rather in a nice growth and monetization phase.

Last quarter, Snapchat grew their Daily Active User base by 13% to 210M. They increased their revenue 50% year over year to $446M! Their cash flow also improved 43% year-over-year.

In other words, they hit a turning point. They are partnering with big name brands, monetizing their customers, all while growing their base.

I know, I know….you’re probably reading this saying, “nobody uses Snapchat anymore.” 

And that’s because their user base is more of the younger generation, not those investors who are 18-100. If you have younger kids, you probably know what I’m talking about.

The company has a unique platform, growing user base…and most importantly hit a transition year to start monetizing and growing.

The biggest “if” I have right now is just market conditions. We are at all time highs and very overextended. So what I’m going to do is take a HALF position and then buy another have a bit later when and if the market dips.

The next big market moving event for SNAP will be their earnings call on February 4th, 2020 at 4:10 PM Eastern.

My Action: I bought 50 SNAP July 17 2020 $19 Calls at $1.63 with intentions to add another 50 on stock and market weakness.
