Square | SQ | Short to SupportSquare ( NYSE:SQ ) may not be done its decline in the coming weeks. It currently sits in a falling wedge formation. After an earnings beat on February 24th, retail jumped back in, but the gap-up was quickly filled 8 days later. It continues to show signs of weakness. Last dip to $82.72 may not be the near-term bottom. If Square continues its decline, true support may be in the $70s (or much lower).
A continued break through the falling wedge's resistance and above the 50 EMA (yellow line) will nullify this thesis.
Square
Block Breaking Higher? Block - Short Term - We look to Buy at 128.09 (stop at 115.10)
Preferred trade is to buy on dips. 50 1day EMA is at 124.21. Previous resistance at 130.00 now becomes support. 5 positive daily performances in succession. There is scope for mild selling at the open but losses should be limited.
Our profit targets will be 168.31 and 185.19
Resistance: 150.00 / 170.00 / 200.00
Support: 130.00 / 100.00 / 83.00

What to expect with SQ stock earnings reportBlock Inc (NYSE: SQ), the point-of-sale payment provider formerly known as Square, is reporting its Q4 2022 earnings this Thursday, February 24.
What to expect with SQ stock earnings report?
The usual market dynamic of ‘good report = stock price rise’ and ‘bad report = stock price fall’ may not be entirely appropriate to expect after the report’s release.
As we have seen over the past month, a favourable earnings report does not necessarily mean that the market will respond favourably in turn. For one, when Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) reported its impressive Q4 2022 results on February 16, its stock proceeded to sell-off. As of writing, NVDA is down 12% since its earnings call as investors were all too happy to overlook its earnings beats and strong guidance for the next quarter.
On the flip side, an unfavourable report can sink SQ stock considerably more than at any time in the past. Investors have little patience for growth tech stocks at the moment, with US Federal Reserve rate hikes just around the corner and post-covid revenue surges seemingly coming to an end.
Will SQ suffer a similar fate to PYPL?
PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL), a leading competitor of Block, reported its own Q4 2021 earnings report three weeks ago, on the first day in February this year. While PYPL beat earnings expectations, its dismal guidance for Q1 2022 has helped tank the stock price 46% in 2022, YTD.
As of writing, SQ is not far off PYPL’s shocking price retreat. SQ’s stock price has lost 40% of its value, YTD.
An unfavourable report may push this loss into the 50s or even the 60s. Tech stocks dropping more than 20% in a single trading day is not unheard of this year, as you may have seen Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: FB) trim 25% (USD 230 billion) from its market cap on February 3.
Is there a buying opportunity with SQ stock?
According to several investment banks and analysts, including Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, SeekingAlpa and MarketBeat, an even greater rout in the SQ’s share price may set investors up for a great long-term buying opportunity. SeekingAlpha and MarketBeat have price targets in the mid USD 200 range, which represent substantial upside potential.
SQ longNot sure why no one is paying attention to SQ. It's got a nice triangle forming and everyone knows I love triangles. Could break up or down, but I'm thinking up. SQ has been on a steady downtrend (down 60% since August highs), and I think it has found a nice bottom. A lot of people are fearful of AAPL's new tap to pay, but I don't see this having a significant affect on SQ in the near future.
SQAnalysis done on 30 minute candles. Block Inc, formally known as Square, is trading near a 52 week low and bulls are still wary of buying the stock. Looking at their financials, the company's revenue and bottom line are moving in the right direction, but their balance sheet needs work, specifically in its asset to debt ratios and free cash flow. Square's growth has been consistent, but new threats from Apple's new payment processing software are making it hard to foresee a robust future for the company. Square may see itself in trouble if they don't pivot or consider a buyout. Looking at the short term potential, the daily candle (not shown) peaked above the 20 day moving average today, making that line the primary support in focus. If SQ's daily candle opens above it tomorrow then use it for support, but if it gaps below it then it will become a strong resistance. Another resistance in the way is the 116.20 mark, which SQ will need to break for a chance to move towards 118.00-119.00.

SQ Block Inc: 1D Chart ReviewHello friends, today you can review the technical analysis idea on a 1D linear scale chart for Block, Inc. (SQ).
The chart is self-explanatory. The price is in a descending broadening wedge and making an attempt to break out of the wedge. If price gets rejected it could fall into the Support Areas. RSI is at the S/R line and has potential to bounce off of it. If RSI breaks down, expect the price to continue falling down. Price is below the EMA Ribbons and SMA (50 and 200).
Included in the chart: Trend line, Support and Resistance Lines, RSI, MFI, Descending Broadening Wedge, Fibonacci Retracement, Death Cross, Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average, Volume.

Square or Block, who cares? We are going higher. Hi everyone,
As a proud bagholder, I present to you the NYSE:SQ chart.
Slaughtered as all growth stocks, the price finally bounced this week for +15% gain for now.
That's nothing compared to meteoric dump of the last few months.
The chart.
Last 2 year POC is at 230 .
All-time POC is at 60 .
Square has been investing into growth for many years now, I think real value of the stock is nowhere near 60. Thus, I doubt we return to that range.
The 100-150 price zone is a wild west, with swift moves and low volume.
We should slice through it on the upside.
Next significant supply zone is 151 .
Further up: 170, 191, 222-230 .
RSI is still oversold on a weekly. I would say it is not too late to buy.
Full disclosure : I am long Square since Jun 2020. I bought more shares yesterday.
As always, trade wisely and good luck!

SQ trade idea SQ bounced off long term support for a nice double bottom in the low 100s, and today had a huge bounce up to 120. To me this still has room to go up, 128.50-129.50 area minimum around 382 retrace, and possibly as high as 133-136 area which is around 21sma and 50% retracement. Plus we have MACD and RSI now curling up here on the daily. I have been scaling in longs here on SQ and will continue to hold until that 133-136 zone with SL below 100
Leaps On SQ - Apple BS NarrativeBuying SQ right here right now for big discount, I haven’t even checked I just know it’s cheap and the indicators look good for a potential bottom. I’m looking to buy 6 month and 12 month calls out of the money. The 4 hour has flipped bullish and daily is close, markets could see a nice bounce here over this week and next week before we resume a plunge to the abyss. I’m gonna start averaging in one call a week or every 2 weeks and maybe even play a few shorter term higher risk calls.
Block/Square needs consolidate in the bullish pattern Block needs to consolidate in the bullish pattern in 'a' wave of the 2nd wave.

SQUARE SQ I am net long in the 134 area in calls and PYPL SQ is now at .618 of the bull market it has a nice ABC decline and wave A x 1.618 = wave wave C AT TODAY LOW MOVE TO A 75 % NET LONG SQ and PYPL at the market look for a rather strong out of nowhere rally back to.382 min best of trades WAVETIMER
$SQ BLOCK weekly 0.618 bounce????? $SQ might have found its bottom need to confirm support in this area bears still in full control
looking for support at the 200ma which is also the .618 fib level if we lose 200ma next level of support is way down below $100 where the volume profile shows strong support in the $87 area
I expect $SQ (BLOCK) to start consolidating near the 200ma remember stocks like to SINK into support so could trade slightly below 200ma for a bit but not much lower IMO if sell momentum continues worse case is $87
