Description NVDA has seen consistent gains following the upside break of its descending intermediate trendline on 17JAN. Now it seems to have settled into a consolidation pattern (Ascending Triangle) following the event-related runaway gap up through an ATH on 25May. Ascending triangles represent a healthy demand for a stock with a planned distribution at a...

Some things to note: Hold of 50 EMA within the pattern High volume entry into the pattern with descending volume throughout Notable pickup in activity on the upside break MACD Cross coinciding with break Throwback following the upside break that tracks along the upper bound of the pattern and is halted at...

Description AAPL has had a nice run up following the upside break of its intermediate bear trendline (descending 2pt red line) on 24 JUN, forming its new intermediate upside trend (ascending 2pt green line) all the way up to its Descending Major Bear Trend (descending 3pt line) cemented on 30MAR. This week and the next will certainly end with a clearer picture...

Description Today saw MRNA performing a high-volume bounce from the 224 support line which initiated the start of what appears to be a rough Descending Triangle. I am bearish on MRNA for the longer term, but expect this upward move to continue throughout the week, along with the rest of the indexes that have seen a strong bounce today. At the least, I am...

Description TWTR has broken out of a Symmetrical Triangle consolidation pattern following the previous breakout of the large broadening pattern circled in yellow and breaking down its major trendline (3pt up-slanting blue line). Symmetrical Triangles are a congestion pattern representing indecision and typically forming in an already established trend before a...

Description AAPL has broken out of an Ascending Wedge to the downside following an ATH just over 182. Ascending Wedges are at most intermediate in their trend implication and represent a general petering out of investment interest as the formation progresses and the stock becomes more expensive. Wedges typically take at least 3 weeks to form, otherwise they...

Description NKE has now rejected the 175 level for the third time, now I am tracking this Descending Triangle consolidation pattern. This could be a Double-Top pattern in the making, although the Double-Top is notoriously difficult to track, and nearly never confirmed until long after is has finished it's formation. Evidence indicative of the usual Double Top: ...

Description This idea originates from a different idea in which I interpreted the chart as a Symmetrical Triangle. I believe this interpretation was incorrect due to the consideration I put on the beginning of the gap up into the pattern. The opening price of the first candle following the gap is a technically irrelevant fact, unlike the support found after TSLA...

Description TSLA Began the formation of this Symmetrical Triangle after achieving an ATH @ 1243.49. The Symmetrical Triangle is a common congestion pattern, typically indicative of continuations, accompanied by descending volume (on chart) and a heavy volume on the breakout. My point of contention with this pattern is okay volume on the breakout. It is only...

Description DHI's primary bull trend remains well-intact and has raced up after entering it's corrective intermediate down-trend beginning with setting its previous ATH in May. This is essentially a continuation play from the linked idea, when we played the break in the Descending Trend Channel, and gave the criteria for a new entry when the target was...

Description Been watching this wedge in Lyft, and it caught my attention when it broke to the upside on 05NOV, trade here The throwback into the pattern following the breakout increases my ease with this short position. The trigger was a break and hold below 46, which occured yesterday. Today LYFT went to retake the accumulation line but failed, leading to...

Description CWEB has been working it down from its ATH since FEB of this year, and has gotten stopped up in the congestion pattern. I have been watching it to pick a direction to enter a position and it looks like it finally has broken to the downside. I have been using Long Puts in all my short positions because I do not want to cap my downside potential to...

Description BA has been working this Descending Triangle from its post-covid crash high around 278. There was one false breakout to the upside on 15NOV, which I traded, related idea linked. Descending Triangles are bearish in nature, and the implied move carries BA down to 137. Intermediate supports are at 194, 179 and eventually 144.5. The immense amount of...

Description UBER began its bear market after the break in the major trendline July. It has now broken through major support established from the ascending triangle that was built in MAR - NOV timeframe of 20' and was also tested in SEP of 21'. The break through 38 is the signal for the entry, and also the stop loss for the position. Using long puts to leave the...

Description Been tracking the descending triangle that DIS was working since early MAR, with a short alert set and triggered on the lower boundary. It was a massive gap though (an indication of a strong break-out), so I have been waiting on a retracement before entry. Today marks a solid rejection of the resistance set in NOV19 and retested before the gap into...

Description TMUS began its bear market following the major trendline break in August. It has now broken through major support at 108.5 established SEP - OCT of 20'. The break through 108.5 is the signal for the entry, and also the stop loss for the position. Using long puts to leave the downside open. The level of the VIX right now is my primary concern in...

Description F has chopped around in this congestion pattern, a Rectangle, for 31 days following it's ATH run-up after the break on 28OCT. The Rectangle carries the same price implications as the Symmetrical Triangle, representing an equal balance between buyers and sellers, until one side eventually wins out and pushes the price beyond the upper or lower...

Description This is essentially a "buy the dip" index play intending to ride a retracement as GPN tags and bounces off of a major support level @ 119. Sort-of Hedge for heavy short account. Using a call debit spread to bring the price down and reduce risk. Call Debit Spread Levels on Chart SL < 119 PT : 135 *Stops based off underlying stock price, not mark...
