Trades of Note: Shorts of Course

  • QQQ chase into 618.42 was giving this morning. Did we hit by EOD? Yup

  • PLTR chase into 186.17 target given this morning hit by EOD.

  • SPX just needed wkly gap fill at 6807. We opened below it this AM, bounced as VIX got back inside 19.29 for chase long, then rejected - only to close just above gamma flip level of 6767! Asia will be weak so likely we head lower into daily gap fill at 6749.53

  • SMH was rec’d short into 352.94 wkly gap fill, which hit by EOD, so that was good for a $10 trounce, with 348.53 daily gap fill ahead.

  • IMW warning last week it was ready to “take a header”, fell head-first into the 10W! But I still see 55D ~239.

  • ORCL swing short into 243.49 from 339.69 ONE MONTH AGO is almost there.

  • RCL swing short gapped below its 200D into 258.70 qtrly support - off NCLH earnings.

  • EURUSD fell exactly into 1.148 as posted Mon am.

  • USD higher has meant my prior metal & mining swing short targets since early Oct are coming closer into view:

  • COPX 57 & GDX 67 approaching this week.

  • XME blew through my 92.91 and tagged the 89s.

  • SPOT swing short saw earnings drop into its 50W before bouncing on 606 back to 628.

  • NFLX swing short is heading lower for its 50W tag next.

  • UPST is Geoffrey’s multi-month short finally tagging 39 support afterhours - on Consumer Lending Sector Is In Trouble.

  • BTCUSD broke $100K where staying below is a big problem for crypto.

  • ETHUSD gapped below its 4yr long wedge and 200D on volume, so that qualifies as problem.
