Situational Awareness
Market Condition: Bounce
Commentary: Improving conditions but today is FED day and we have some big earnings hitting tonight. Plenty of stuff gapping up today but nothing blowing my mind. I actually think HOOD looks a good short on a Trifecta Miss. I'll be looking at that today.
Three days up on the Index with the gap up today. Strong breadth day yesterday. Won't be a shock to see some pause and digestion today or a shakeout sell off on the FED Conference.
Cautious and still waiting for better opportunities to hit.
XNCR Shoryuken potential today. I rebought yesterday on the U&R but like the setup today. LW on a Continuation setup looks solid also to me.
Today In Focus
HOOD — Robinhood Markets: Q3 Misses on Revenue and EPS, Gapping Below the 200MA
Earnings Catalyst · Trifecta Miss · Mkt cap $79.1B · Float 761M · SI 4.8% (1.8 days) · Nasdaq · Theme: Capital Markets · Next earnings 16 Feb (est.)
Why: Missed on Revs and EPS, Weak report from a stock that looks very much Stage 3 wanting to flip to 4. Gapping down now below the 200MA.
Level: On Shorts I always wait for an Opening Drive and Fail Below VWAP or Round Number. $90 in this case.
