Nike earnings have serious potential to set a course.As seen in this 4 hr chart, Nike has been in an ascending channel since the corona sell off/rebound. The price action has moved in accordance with the upward parallel channel it is seemingly advancing in. It has recently slowed down and failed to rise back above the midline of the channel recently. Heres the tricky part, Nikes recent sell off leaves this one in the middle of a grey area territory. The chart setup is perfect for a BIG move around earnings, which way is very much so up in the air. As previously stated this one falls right in the middle of the current gray area, RSI is nearing oversold, but if there is no RSI support around the 40/50 area, and an increase in selling volume, this one could have lost steam, change course, and fall into a bearish channel downwards back towards 105. Nike earnings and the investors reaction to said earnings, have the possibility to set this one on a path that it could possibly take into the end of the year.
(*personal advice: always play earning safely with a neutral strategy*)
Bullish (possible by end of year) price target:$140
Bearish (possible by end of year) price target:$105
Earnings could set the future course for Nike.
Canadian banks offer high-yielding cushion in a correction.If you're worried that growth stocks (the tech and now healthcare stocks) are just ridiculously valued, then perhaps you should think about Canadian bank stocks as a potential cushion against a potential market correction. Earnings beat analyst expectations. Yields are in excess of 4%. Loan loss provisions will gradually find their way back into bank earnings as the economy recovers next year. The steepening yield curve also bodes well for future earnings growth.
Zoom Resistance Levels before earnings Zoom has currently bullish riding an upward trend. Look for it to pass the 474 resistance pre-market and fill the gap to 503. It is trading above the MA40 and MA13. For best risk management practices, watch for the shift after the earnings are release monday evening.
Disney - Straddles going into Earnings? Hey Traders! Disney is reporting earnings today after market close. There really isn't much technical analysis can do to determine what outcome the report will have on the stock price. But I will say this... Disney's stock showed decent price appreciation in the last two and a half weeks going from lows of $117.23 per share to highs of $147.68 per share. Although Disney is off it's highs, the current trading price of Disney's stock is $135, which is still above its 8 day exponential moving average. Whether Disney meets, beats, or misses analysts estimates for this quarter's EPS and Revenue, the option prices are a big move for Disney. A look at the "At The Money" straddles (at the 135 Strike, expiring tomorrow) show they are trading for nearly $600 .
Which means Disney would need to move up or down by $6.00 per share just to break even. Right? But wait...
Keep in mind that option prices are also made up of premium.. which consists of time value and implied volatility. Implied Volatility is considered a measurement of the perceived risk for an individual option contract. That risk is then priced into that option as a premium. Usually, implied volatility is at its highest before anticipated earnings reports or company news announcements. The day after the news is made public, implied volatility usually drops, which can drastically lower options prices.
In reality, you would need more than a $6.00 per share move in Disney stock considering. I say this because there is nothing more frustrating than seeing you were right on the expected move, but lost money on the option because you forgot to consider the effects of implied volatility.
Now, grab your favorite drink, sit back and watch Disney's stock after the bell as they are expected to report 5 minutes after market close.

Tightening price action, pre-earnings run up This looks like a great setup. One thesis is that spending on consumer durables has increased during stay-at-home orders making TPX a solid COVID stock. This pattern has lead to reliable upside moves, combined with earnings two weeks away and a PSAR flip makes me lean bullish.
Pinterest idea was SPOT ON! A bit late but worth to note that Pinterest did EXACTLY what i had predicted ahead of earnings!
Huge gap up to an ATH following right behind SNAP huge Q3 earnings beat.
Its worth noting that ad revenue was on record level with Pinterest and that's why the stock headed up almost 35%!
Its cool to see plays working out!
Short term though, i believe we are headed for a super ugly November mainly on election volatility, lack of stimulus and covid cases rising.
