Analyst consensus remains stable, with a “Hold” rating and a $21.50 target (April 20 ), though some Reddit (r/options) users highlight margin pressures from tariffs. -Implication: Mixed sentiment suggests range-bound trading absent a catalyst, with tariff concerns capping upside potential. Strategic Outlook -Assessment: The outlook for Monday is neutral, supported by balanced options activity, oversold technicals with potential for a bounce, and a VIX at ~40 indicating volatility. -Implication: Anticipate a price range of $26.50 to $27.50, with support at $26.50 likely to hold and resistance at $27.50 posing a challenge for bulls. Market Influences -Overview: No new Federal Reserve decisions today; recent guidance on April 17 signals caution on rates, potentially impacting telecom spending.

Support lies at $26.50, with resistance at $27.50. -Implication: Recent declines indicate limited upside; a break below $26.50 could signal further downside to $26.00. Technicals: Monthly: RSI at 45 (neutral), Stochastic at ~40 (neutral), MFI at ~42 (neutral). Price below 10/20-month SMAs ($28.00/~$29.00, bearish).

Price below 10/20-period SMAs ($27.10/~$27.20, bearish). Implication: Medium-term bias bearish, aligning with weekly caution. Hourly: RSI at 46 (neutral), Stochastic at ~42 (neutral), MFI at ~44 (neutral). Price below 10/20-hour SMAs ($27.05/~$27.10, bearish). Implication: Intraday bias bearish, suggesting potential selling pressure. 10-Minute: RSI at 48 (neutral), Stochastic at ~45 (neutral), MFI at ~46 (neutral). Price below 10/20-period SMAs ($27.00/~$27.05, bearish). Implication: Short-term bias bearish, supporting a cautious weekly stance. Options Positioning Overview: Weekly options show balanced volume ($27.00 calls: 800 contracts, 50% at ask; $26.50 puts: 900 contracts, 55% at bid), with a put-call ratio of 1.1 (neutral) and IV skew flat ($27.00 calls/puts: 35%). Monthly options have a put-call ratio of 1.0, IV flat ($27.00: 32%). 3-Month options show a put-call ratio of 1.2, IV flat ($26.50: 30%). VIX at ~40 (down 5%, above 30-day average of ~35). Option Flow Dynamics (OFD) Analysis: Vanna: -Impact: Minimal, ±$0.02 intraday. -Insight: Balanced call/put volume and flat IV skew at 35% result in negligible delta adjustments by dealers, even with a VIX of 40. -Stance: Neutral for weekly contracts; bullish if IV exceeds 38%. Charm: -Impact: Pins price ±$0.02, minimal volatility. -Insight: High open interest at $27.00 (calls: 2,000 contracts, puts: 2,200 contracts) leads dealers to maintain delta neutrality, pinning the price near expiry. -Stance: Neutral for weekly contracts; bearish if price breaks above $27.50. GEX (Gamma Exposure): -Impact: Pins price ±$0.05, minimal volatility. -Insight: Balanced gamma from equal call/put open interest at $27.00 keeps price stable, though a VIX of 40 could amplify breakout volatility. -Stance: Neutral at $27.15 for weekly contracts; bearish above $27.50. DEX (Delta Exposure): -Impact: No directional bias. -Insight: A put-call ratio of 1.1 indicates balanced delta exposure, with dealers’ hedging activities netting zero directional impact. -Stance: Neutral for weekly contracts, even on high volume. OFD Summary: Weekly flows indicate a neutral bias, with price likely to remain within $26.50-$27.50, driven by balanced Vanna, Charm, GEX, and DEX dynamics. A VIX of 40 suggests potential volatility; earnings on April 23 could push IV above 38%, adding $0.05-$0.10 upside (Vanna). Monthly and 3-month expiries (put-call ratios 1.0 and 1.2) confirm range-bound confluence. -Implication: Neutral bias for weekly contracts; high VIX suggests volatility within the $26.50-$27.50 range for Monday. ICT/SMT Analysis -Overview: Weekly: Neutral, support at $26.50, resistance at $27.50, SMT divergence versus VZ shows relative strength. Daily: Neutral, FVG $27.50-$28.00, OB $26.00. 4-Hour: Neutral, MSS below $27.15, liquidity below $26.50. 1-Hour: Neutral, MSS below $27.15, liquidity below $26.50. 10-Minute: OTE sell zone $27.20-$27.30 (Fib 70.5%), target $26.50. -Implication: Neutral across timeframes; a breakdown below $26.50 could target $26.00, but weekly contracts are likely to see consolidation. Edge Insights -Institutional Flows: Recent block trades (April 18 ) show balanced buying and selling at $27.00, suggesting institutions are hedging rather than taking a directional stance. -Sector Stability: Telecom sector is down only 5% YTD (Morningstar ), providing relative stability compared to other sectors, though tariff costs remain a headwind for T. -Earnings Catalyst: With earnings due April 23, pre-earnings positioning may increase volatility, potentially favoring a breakout above $27.50 if sentiment shifts positively. -Implication: Sector stability supports a neutral weekly stance, but monitor for pre-earnings IV spikes that could shift dynamics. Trade Recommendation Analysis: -Neutral: 50% likelihood (balanced options flows, GEX pinning at $27.15, high VIX choppiness). -Bearish: 30% likelihood (MSS below $27.15, tariff pressures). -Bullish: 20% likelihood (oversold indicators, potential bounce above $27.50). -Action: Recommend a neutral stance with a bearish tilt; if bearish, buy $27.00 puts (weekly expiry) at ~$0.20, targeting $0.40, with a stop at $0.10 if T breaks $27.50. Risk $40 (2% of a $2,000 account). Conclusion for Monday: T is poised for range-bound trading within $26.50-$27.50, driven by neutral options flows and tariff concerns. Focus on a potential breakdown below $26.50 for weekly bearish trades, targeting $26.00. High VIX and impending earnings add risk—execute with tight stops to manage volatility.

Quantum's T (AT&T) Trading Guide 4/11/25T (AT&T Inc.) Sentiment • Sentiment is neutral with a bearish tilt. April 10 options activity shows put-heavy volume at $26 strikes, reflecting caution. RSI (14) at ~50 (estimated, flat trend at $26.40 close) suggests indecision. X posts highlight concerns over telecom debt loads and tariff risks on equipment imports, but some speculate on institutional accumulation below $26.50. A liquidity sweep below $26.33 could trigger a bullish reversal if buy-side liquidity is tapped. Catalyst: Potential sweep below $26.33 may spark short covering. Tariff Impact - Rating: Moderate. • Explanation: T relies on imported telecom equipment, facing cost pressures from tariffs on China (active as of April 11). No relief announced, so margins could tighten, capping upside. X posts suggest tariff fears weigh on sentiment, but domestic revenue focus limits fundamental damage. News/Catalysts • Driver: Flat telecom sector performance on April 10, with T holding steady amid mixed market signals. X posts cited stability but no clear catalyst. • Upcoming: CPI (April 11): High CPI could hurt T (-1.5%) due to rate hike fears; low CPI may lift it (+1%) as a yield play. • Retail Sales (April 15): Strong data supports T (+1%); weak data pressures (-1%) due to consumer spending risks.

Cem Karsan’s Application: • Weekly Trading Breakdown: OI at $26 suggests pinning.

$ASTS - Generational Technology Leap - Primed for a BOOMNASDAQ:ASTS AST SpaceMobile Technology is one of the most interesting companies in the tech space right now. It will provide a generational leap in technology for direct to device sat com to unmodified devices. This means broadband connectivity anywhere without gaps.

T AT&T Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold the double top on AT&T: nor bought the dip: Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of T AT&T prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 17usd strike price at the money Calls with an expiration date of 2024-1-26, for a premium of approximately $0.43. Looking at the chart, I think T is heading to a triple top, or a Head and Shoulders chart pattern. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

AT&T's Two-Year Restructuring Journey: A Focus on 5G and ...AT&T's Two-Year Restructuring Journey: A Focus on 5G and Fiber Networks Over the last couple of years, AT&T has actively undertaken a restructuring process by divesting its non-core assets and initiating spin-offs of DirecTV and WarnerMedia. The company's primary goal has been to realign its focus and prioritize the enhancement of its 5G and fiber networks, positioning itself for a more competitive stance in the telecommunications industry. A significant milestone in this strategic plan was the successful merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery, resulting in the formation of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD 0.16%). The transaction, completed on April 8, 2022, allowed AT&T investors to receive 0.241917 shares of WBD for each AT&T share they held. However, since both stocks began trading separately on April 11, both AT&T's and WBD's stock prices have experienced declines, with AT&T's stock falling by 25% and WBD's stock dropping by 47%. Initially, the "new" AT&T impressed investors with robust growth in its wireless business, gaining nearly 2.9 million postpaid phone subscribers in 2022 and expanding its fiber networks. However, this growth was dampened by underperformance in its business wireline segment and the loss of non-fiber broadband customers. Consequently, AT&T revised its initial projection of $20 billion in free cash flow (FCF) for 2023 down to $16 billion. In the first quarter of 2023, the company generated only $1 billion in FCF due to increased expenses related to 5G and fiber. This sluggish FCF growth has raised concerns about AT&T's dividends and expansion plans, causing investors to seek more conservative income investments amidst the prospect of rising interest rates. Despite seemingly attractive valuations at six times forward earnings and an impressive forward yield of 8.3%, there are three other red flags that could potentially limit its short-term gains. One such concern is the possibility of Amazon's entry into the wireless market. Reports in early June suggested that Amazon might introduce wireless plans at an exceptionally low price, even possibly free for its Prime members. While Amazon later refuted these rumors, the idea of their potential collaboration with one of AT&T's primary competitors raised concerns, especially amidst an ongoing price war among major U.S. carriers. Furthermore, AT&T's CFO Pascal Desroches cautioned that the company might fall short of expectations for adding postpaid phone subscribers in the second quarter, casting doubts on its ability to reach the targeted $16 billion in FCF for the year. Although AT&T's performance still surpassed Verizon, doubts are growing about its FCF prospects. Moreover, AT&T, along with Verizon, faced scrutiny over a Wall Street Journal report alleging exposure of workers and the environment to toxic lead-sheathed copper cables. The potential cost of replacing these legacy cables could be significant, and though AT&T claims they constitute only a small portion of their network, ongoing coverage of the issue may impact the company's brand reputation and stock price. Looking ahead, AT&T's second-quarter earnings report, scheduled for release on July 26, is expected to reveal weaker-than-expected wireless numbers and may provide updates on the lead-covered copper cable issue. Demonstrating higher-than-anticipated FCF growth could offset some negative sentiment, but in the current uncertain market, AT&T's stock may continue to trade at a discount until additional positive indicators emerge.

Can VZ reverse with earnings coming up?VZ on the 2H chart has been in a trend down since July 5 and the fall is accelerating in the past three trading days. Earnings are a week away. The dual time frame RSI indicator shows the weakness with RS in the oversold and undervalued zone while the zero-lag MACD shows hard bearish momentum. Relative selling volumes are about 3X the mean. Overall considering that price is now three standard deviations below the mean anchored VWAPs set in March and April I believe that price is now at or near the bottom. Accordingly I will watch for signs of a reversal on a 30-60 minute time frame from which to consider a long entry. the upcoming earnings could increase volatility and potential profits if VZW can rally some trader interest.
