Quick trade ideas

Recent move down filled an unfilled gap . Looks like a bit of consolidation / accumulation there. Two things on my mind :- 1) Sky takeover is now sorted & ITV has always been talked about as a bid target : 2) ITV is talked about bidding for another company which carries a bit of debt - if they were to go down that route, they would have to raise some cash to do it ( rights issue maybe )   - So two opposing situations to consider !!!

Great fundamentals input from @elle.

From a technical viewpoint it's a nice technical set up @Pieman,

The level is previous support turned resistance plus price has historically respected the 20 MA, if today's close is a shooting star (reversal bar as it looks now) and price starts to reverse down tomorrow a tighter stop would be justified because the reversal pattern (the reason for taking the trade)  would be nullified if price were to go back and breach today's high.

eek! 

 

Exciting.. I hold ITV :D

 

Let's see where the story goes...

Well for me, today's low volume may be encouraging as just a pause in a long, but it's not convincing me for a reversal.  Combined with @elle's fantastic fundamentals contribution here, I'm not going in.

Interesting - my IG spread bet platform has vol for this today as 1.45m.  ADVFN has 16.3m.  Anybody any idea why this may be?  What exactly the volume numbers represent?

The day close still leaves us with a potential reversal set up. The bulls today needed to attack the level and power through what is S/R and 20 MA and trendline but they couldn't, the bears successfully defended it. The last thing the bulls wanted was to leave the daily chart looking like this, everyone can see the chart and will be waiting for tomorrow to see what happens next, if price starts to head lower those on the sidelines will jump in. 

Volume figures are always different depending on source (or multiple sources) but the volume charts usually always maintain the same shape, the volume bar on the IG chart for today is way outside all others (as noted above) in context and so not reliable.

Don't know if you wanted this specifically for stock movements and trade ideas but Ether is also looking like it's gearing up for a move. MACD, RSI and vol isn't looking special but we're at a key area for support / resistance.

 

crypto's welcomed :D

cheers ?

Recap on ITV and the reversal failed but is an interesting study, if you were looking to take a potential reversal where exactly would you enter?

Looking at the 8am bar on the 15 minute chart and the gap down showed some traders clearly put sell orders in late yesterday, others would be waiting for the signal bar to be engulfed, and others would be watching higher time frame charts and waiting to enter during a sizable bear bar while still others would be waiting for a convincing bear bar close.

The point being that a range of traders will take a range of options, there is no one way, it is all relative. Those who got in early have the lowest probability but also the lowest risk (a very small stop), as you go down the range the probability increases but so does the risk (stop size).

So there is no one way, just a range of traders each managing their own risk/probability calculations in a way that suits their own trading style.

After umming-and-ahhing a lot I did actually place that order.  Below previous day's low for me.  It must have so nearly fired.  I'm keeping an eye on whether it sticks to the 20 day MA, or powers on through with decent volume...  Not sure what the exact trigger would be for a trade in the latter event though!  Usually a case of "oh, there it was!". ?
Wait for a retracement if it gets going?  There's no order on it tonight anyway.

check GAN. Possible quick trade ahead of tomorrow's results.

This annoyed me somewhat.

On the 26th co. announced "release its interim financial results for the first-half of the 2018 year ending June 30, 2018 on Friday September 28, 2018 at 07:00 a.m. UK time'

However, the results were not published via RNS until 08:14am!

Somewhat odd. I saw about 60k sells this morning which pulled the price down upto 10% at one stage. I note now only 3% down. A massive feign if you ask me. The results I will not go through in detail but read well.

'By way of outlook on 2019, the recent launch of Internet sports betting, the Company's current sales pipeline and existing contracted clients are projected to significantly enhance GANs revenue and EBITDA prospects.'

See. Sorry if the trade seemed ill timed. I expect had it been released to the market at 7am it would have been 10% in the other direction..

I hold and would have added this morning but had no funds.

taken from the blog this morning which I thought was quite interesting (and links a little to the carbon emissions stuff @TrendFollower)  - Think about going long natural gas.

  • public sentiment on pollution changes in China many are speculating on a repeat of last years movements in the liquefied natural gas market going into the colder months.
  • Last year LNG imports were nearly 50% higher than the previous year.
  • The key uncertainties for the market will be weather conditions ...
  • ...and whether or not the Chinese government has managed to maintain and hold onto its inventories and reserves
  • strong demand in Europe continues to buoy the price.
  • You can blame that on an increase in carbon emission credit cost (boosting demand for cleaner fuels) and a colder start to the year.

    • British Pound/Japanese Yen (GBPJPY) Day Chart GBPJPY Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Gray Wave C Position: Orange Wave 4 Direction Next Higher Degree: Orange Wave 5 Details: Gray Wave B of Orange Wave 4 appears to be complete. Now, Gray Wave C of Wave 4 is unfolding. Invalidation Level: 208.092 The GBPJPY Elliott Wave analysis on the daily chart indicates a counter-trend movement within a larger impulsive structure. The current wave pattern is labeled as Gray Wave C, which signifies that the market is in the final stage of a corrective phase. The mode is impulsive, demonstrating strong momentum in the ongoing wave. This wave position, Orange Wave 4, is part of a larger degree structure that will eventually progress into Orange Wave 5. In this analysis, Gray Wave B of Orange Wave 4 is now considered complete. The market has transitioned into Gray Wave C, which is the final stage of Orange Wave 4. This indicates that the market is still in a corrective phase but is nearing the end of this correction. Once Gray Wave C is complete, the market is expected to resume its impulsive trend in Orange Wave 5. The invalidation level for this wave structure is set at 208.092. If the market exceeds this level, the current wave count will be invalidated, and a new analysis will be required to reassess the market's direction. Summary: The GBPJPY daily chart presents a counter-trend scenario, with Gray Wave C of Orange Wave 4 currently active. Gray Wave B has been completed, and the market is progressing through the final phase of correction before resuming the impulsive trend in Orange Wave 5. The wave count remains valid as long as prices stay below 208.092.   British Pound/Japanese Yen (GBPJPY) 4-Hour Chart GBPJPY Elliott Wave Technical Analysis Function: Counter Trend Mode: Impulsive Structure: Navy Blue Wave 1 Position: Gray Wave C Direction Next Higher Degree: Navy Blue Wave 2 Details: Gray Wave B is considered complete. Now, Navy Blue Wave 1 of Gray Wave C is active. Invalidation Level: 208.092 The GBPJPY Elliott Wave analysis on the 4-hour chart shows a counter-trend movement, which indicates a corrective phase within a larger impulsive trend. The mode is impulsive, reflecting strong momentum in the current wave structure. The main structure in focus is Navy Blue Wave 1, which has started forming within Gray Wave C. The analysis concludes that Gray Wave B has completed, transitioning the market into Navy Blue Wave 1. This wave is part of the larger Gray Wave C and represents a crucial phase shift from the corrective Wave B to the impulsive Wave C, continuing the corrective trend on this timeframe. Looking forward, the next higher degree is Navy Blue Wave 2, which will follow after the completion of Navy Blue Wave 1. This phase will likely begin another stage in the ongoing counter-trend. Traders should expect further movement aligned with this wave structure as long as the wave count remains valid. The invalidation level is set at 208.092. If prices exceed this level, the current wave count will be invalidated, requiring a reassessment of the market direction and wave structure. Summary: The GBPJPY 4-hour chart analysis indicates the market is in a counter-trend mode with the impulsive formation of Navy Blue Wave 1 within Gray Wave C. Gray Wave B has completed, and the ongoing trend is expected to continue as long as prices remain below the 208.092 invalidation level.

    • Ethereum (ETH) has seen some significant price fluctuations lately. With a slight gain of 0.3% at press time, ETH is trading at $2,446. Investors and traders are now focusing on the ETH price prediction as market conditions remain volatile. Let's break down the key factors affecting Ethereum’s price action and what to watch for in the coming days. Recent Price Movements Ethereum’s intraday low was $2,400.51, and its high reached $2,470.91. Recent outflows of $8.19 million from Ethereum ETFs (as of October 8) are adding to the pressure. Whale Alert has reported large ETH dumps to Coinbase, increasing selling pressure. Ethereum’s current market cap stands at $294.32 billion. Facing Resistance Ethereum’s price was rejected at a key resistance level of $2,461 on Monday. This resistance zone aligns with: 50% price retracement at $2,487. The 50-day EMA around $2,546. As of Wednesday, ETH is trading slightly above $2,400 and is again approaching this crucial resistance level. What Happens If Resistance Holds? If Ethereum fails to break the $2,461 resistance, we could see a 12% decline from its current level, possibly retesting the September 6 low of $2,155. The RSI is currently at 46, signaling weakness and a continuation of the downward trend. Potential Upside If ETH breaks through the $2,461 resistance and closes above the 50-day EMA at $2,546, there is potential for further upward movement. In this scenario: ETH could rise to retest its August 25 high of $2,820. Key Support Levels to Watch Should Ethereum fail to clear the resistance and start declining, here are the support levels to monitor: Initial support sits near $2,420. Major support is found at $2,390, which also aligns with the 61.8% Fib retracement level (from the $2,310 swing low to the $2,519 high). A move below $2,390 could push prices toward $2,325. Further losses may send ETH down to $2,240. The next critical support level is at $2,120. Ethereum's price is in a tight spot, with both upside and downside possibilities. A breakout above $2,461 could spark a rally, while failing to break resistance may trigger a decline toward lower support levels. Keep an eye on these key levels as the next few days will be crucial for determining ETH’s price direction
