Trade Plan

June 26- 30, 2023

This week is the last trading week for the 2Q, the technology sector may see a pullback, and overbought & funds may book the profits.



6/28

The previous plan of LONG COIN panned out but NO trades, BIDU, BABA, and NTES exhibited strength yesterday, these names are potential spikers as China is expected to unveil new stimulus programs as its economy continues to slow down, while the rest of the world is hiking rates to fight inflation- this can be the haven for momos, the risk is the geopolitical tension to the US.


FULL BREAKOUT WATCH:
  • TSLA  AMZN RH







BOUNCE WATCH:
  • MELI SEDG NFLX

SHORT WATCH:
  • NVDA -5% premarket as China announced tighter policy on microchips, 5th of their business sales generates from china


6/27

The traders and investors exhibited cautious sentiment yesterday in the last trading week of Q2.  The Tech sector has experienced some selling, and the major indices pulled back as well touching the 20dma.

Top watch: 


Heading today, focusing on BIDU long/ breakout to >150, the PR on the general meeting has been out and gapping out again today at 142, which is the bullish trigger pivot, * BIDU has failed to uphold the gap up in the last 4 weeks, consistent fader* the market anticipates a CHINA govt more stimulus as the country continues to report a string of weak macro data. 

Short trades: 
  • CMG has been slowly pulling back to tag the 50dma, however, the move is very meager, it's a 50/50 trade.
  • NFLX failed on 429 yesterday, next support at 409, earnings gap up is at 377
  • TSLA 237 pivot
Long Trades:

  • DE & CAT - bullish on industrials as next sector to replace technology
  • sedg & enph for relief bounce
  • MELI - strong earnings but no love, also the 5% move has been a fake indicator lately, when a momo (ie; TSLA & NVDA) stock prints +5% move it marks the top, MELI -5.79% yesterday, marked the bottom or reversal?

The furniture stocks have been outperforming lately,  WSM, W, & RH- RH to 309 test this week







6/26

Long to watch:
  • NFLX  to 446 again, it was a quiet move last week as its digested the 4 weeks rally, 417 support, above 423 is the key to highs [ executed properly, bought at the open sold at 429, then  nFLX faded along with Nasdaq]
  • COIN to 68- Bitcoin threads above the 30k then the SEC lawsuit may come to a settlement announcement soon  [ popped +6% intraday high but no trades]
  • BIDU - China macro data continues to be on the weaker side, China is expected to reveal new stimulus soon. [quiet move, same MO gap up at open fade throughout the day]






June 20 -23, 2023

June 23

The Nasdaq bounced, led by AMZN, TSLA

Breakout watch:
