Your Secret Weapon to Beat The Market
Happy Tuesday Traders!
Another short week in the market greets us!
Last week was a strong one with the $SPY gaining 1.76% on the week. We had CPI come out which showed a higher than expected increase in inflation. This took the market down on a dip, but was quickly bought up.
PPI data come out last week with PPI coming in at 1% year over year which was lower than the expected 1.3%. Core PPI came in at 1.8% expecting 1.9%.
What Does This Mean For Daytraders/Investors
This data wasn’t too concerning for us day traders, but it does bring some great volatility for us to capitalize on.
Overall for investors, last week was a bit of a mixed bag from a data standpoint. Inflation moderated less than expected, which could potentially have a poor impact on the bullish moves we’ve had.
However this market is still very resilient and managed to close the week up 1.76%
Short-Term Setups For This Week:
1. $IWM

$IWM Daily
Looking like a pretty constructive pullback on the daily for $IWM. I like this $191.50 —> $192 area to try some longs anticipating that we start making moves back up towards the EMAs.
If we were to lose $191.50 and start selling from there, that would invalidate my thoughts on this, but I personally think we hold this.

$IWM Weekly
The weekly is also looking healthy retesting the 9 EMA on the weekly. Also retesting a high from August here, so there is a good amount of confluence trying to hold us here.
Would love to see this get back towards $200 as the week progresses.
2. $PYPL

$PYPL Daily
Still liking the $PYPL daily here. Last week we caught some solid trades off of it from our thesis, but I still think there’s more here.
Haven’t really made the move I wanted quite yet, but still holding $57.50

$PYPL Weekly
I want to see this hold the EMAs now and retest $64 for the breakout. I’ll be watching closely this week, although it might take another week before this one goes.
Not too many setups for me this week!
Long-Term Setups For This Week:
1. $TSLA

$TSLA Daily
$TSLA has taken a huge dive from the highs. I was really looking for the rally on this name, but it didn’t happen.
After getting under $220 last week, I started adding more shares to my long-term portfolio. If we get all the way back to $200 i’ll be adding more.
Im looking for $300 at least by end of this year, so I definitely think she is on sale right about now.
IMO, if you believe in $TSLA as a company, this is a huge opportunity for you own it for very cheap.
2. $SNOW

$SNOW Daily
I love $SNOW for the long-term portfolio as I think it has huge upside potential this year, but I want to see if I can get it cheaper.
Hitting resistance on the daily, I’m wondering if we could get back down towards that 200 EMA at roughly $170. If we dip down there I will definitely pick up more shares.
$180 is another spot where we could hold up and it might be a spot where I add some shares as well.
