OA Sell: GME

I sold my calls in GME, booking a 50% loss in the position.

I find this market position very interesting, both based on what it is, and isn’t doing. We’ll discuss this here shortly after the close.

    curious on that. GME didn’t look broken.

    /TF broke 1115 and closed below out. Not good. Unless our favorite pattern of breaking down triangles and then reversing hard works on indices.

    FSLR was doomed yesterday after it convincingly broke below the close of 3/19. Today all but confirmed the weakness. Timber!

          FSLR showed relative strength today. Its only a matter of time before its working on its 100 dolla roll.

            Um, no. Learn to read a chart. As I said, yesterday’s convincing break below the close of the massive volume wide spread up day back on 3/19 paints a very bearish picture. And today’s tepid low volume up move that moved back to that price level but closed well off the high confirms that bearishness. You’d be advised to close any longs at the very least and wait for strength to return. Was it up while the broader market was down? Sure. But to say that it’s therefore bullish would be missing the obvious bearishness I mentioned above.

          Topofthemorning, so you are short? Or what is your position? It’s fun and all to second guess everyone’s positions, but what is your position? That is why blogs exist. We broke 3/19, so short, correct??

    Interesting tape today with these intently followed OA tickers refusing to close lower or closing up from yesterday: DDD, GLUU, LULU, FSLR, SFUN, BAC, TWTR, YELP, FEYE (barely lower), FB, NFLX, VMW…

    Chat went down OA. re FSLR, we had a defined low back in Feb, a perfect 61.8 retrace in May, a pretty decent 50 retrace in Jul / Aug, perhaps now a 38.2? If one draws a line from the two aforementioned lows, you get fairly decent confluence around the 64 – 65 area, I will have to be a buyer at that level, with stops, of course.

    Put 2 longs on (TWTR CELG) around 330 and then the bottom dropped out in the last 15 mins. I’m not worried as I’ve seen this in the past and is usually a pretty good signal that we might have reached a short term bottom. There will probably be some selling tomorrow morning but then I’m looking for a pop. If we do sell off I will unload my shorts and look for more longs. My main goal is still to sell the rips though.

    JCP looks interesting, use recent lows as a stop, target 12

    Some pretty good volume today in the LULU Oct 45s, Nov 47.5s and Dec 45s. Probably just someone doing some kind of calendar or diagonal.

    took off TWTR flat. Don’t like the gap up and fade. Need to see how things play out but may add it back at the end of the day.

    So maybe the play that hurts the most was a gap up then drop, then chop…make both sides suffer
