Trade Journal: Long LYFT - 2/4/2020LYFT has been setting up a nice Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern in the daily chart and had recovered from lows last year. LYFT had been lagging behind UBER and I saw an opportunity to get in full size into a potential breakout. Yesterday I went long UBER, however I held back from putting in full risk due to the market conditions. Today's action of QQQ and SPY is showing a bullish picture and the theory that I had about a short term bottom was true. What also is driving these speculative names is what I can only describe as delusion. There is a lot of delusion and greed in the market right now ( TSLA ) which is making these speculative names very spicy . I consider this trade a short term volatility trade and I plan to close most shares before LYFT's earnings report.
Entry - 49.63
Stop Loss - 48.90
Target - 56.00
LY0 trade ideas
LYFT - ready for lift off?Looks like a good H&S pattern and consolidation right at important FIB resistance. 20 day rising thru the 50 day and both looking for the 200 day above which is falling. I suspect this is going higher in this up trending market with not much resistance until $57-60 area. Nibbling here as it looks like a real break-out is coming. Volume picking up.
Long LyftToday lyft announced the reconstituting plan (www.nytimes.com) which drives the price down. Personally I think this is positive news rather than negative news since they are working hard toward profitability. The resistance is around $49-50 area I plan to scale in some soon and buy more if we break this resistance, the stop can be around $40-42. The target should be at least $70. If lyft can show consistent results in one or two quarters towards profitability, there will be more upside. Their current revenue growth rate of 60% with just 2x sale valuation provides good risk/reward for this investment.
Lyft in bullish run.Lyft has traded well off the lows and on ever increasing buy side volume.
Sentiment has changed towards the stock as investors are now looking for some laggards with good potential returns.
MACd is up-trending and a cross above zero would be very positive.
RSI and Stochastic also trending higher in a bullish trajectory.
Stock is quite a congested area of price action so may remain in this channel between support and resistance for a little longer.
