Carvana … Falls in Hole

September 24, 2025 By in Artificial Intelligence, CVNA, CVNA-24-14, Positions, Semiconductors, SOXX, SOXX-25-14, Up-Thrust, WMT, WMT-25-07, Wyckoff 1 Comment

Trading Below Support

Carvana spent three days hovering above support.

Yesterday, trading started above support, then, ended below.

Adding to that, price action was down on double volume from the prior session.

Volume study is part of Wyckoff analysis. It typically does not get attention as it’s boring, generating no ‘clicks’.

The increase in volume suggested pressure’s building to the downside.

Based on that, a (small) short was opened yesterday (not advice, not a recommendation).

Carvana CVNA, Daily

Short position is being maintained; stop to be moved at the end of this session to the day’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Other Markets

From the ‘notes’ discussion on yesterday’s post, the WMT position was stopped out (at essentially break-even) early this session (not advice, not a recommendation).

Price action looks like a secondary test of the reversal.

However, from a preference standpoint, the focus is on CVNA … and the SOXX.

More on that later.

Walmart, Tests Reversal

September 22, 2025 By in David Weis, Up-Thrust, WMT, Wyckoff

Watch The Volume

The last update on Walmart (WMT) had this:

Will we get an upside test, even if only briefly?

Watching price action early this session, it looks like that test is happening now (not advice, not a recommendation).

From a Wyckoff (and David Weis) perspective, what we’re looking for if WMT, keeps rising or holds steady, is volume to contract on the day.

Contracting volume indicates a test of the up-thrust (reversal) and helps to add probability to the downside.

Walmart … At The Edge

September 20, 2025 By in Artificial Intelligence, BAC, COST, TGT, WMT 1 Comment

Heavy Down Volume

Looking at the big-cap discount stores, only Walmart has made a recent new high.

Costco, COST, with half the market-cap of WMT, posted all-time highs back in February, this year.

Next up, Target TGT, a real dog, with all-time highs way back in November of 2021.

Walmart WMT, Daily

All-time high as Bank of America raises price targets because of, what else, Artificial Intelligence, link here.

Yesterday, Friday, posted a new daily low and was Fibonacci Day 3, from the reversal.

Will we get an upside test, even if only briefly?

If we do, and depending on price action, it’s likely to help narrow the risk on a potential short position (not advice, not a recommendation).

Walmart Watch

September 14, 2025 By in MyStrategicForecast, Shadow Trader, Up-Thrust, WMT 2 Comments

Inflection Point?

Walmart doesn’t have far to go in either direction, to define the next move.

Before getting started, let’s go back to comments made about WMT from September 4th, on this post:

“WMT, just might continue to grind higher to post above the 103-area to take out stops … maybe.“

Of course, it was a ‘maybe’; we’re dealing with probabilities.

With that said, the ‘maybe’ happened.

Walmart WMT, Daily

At the far left of the chart is WMT’s all-time high.

Next, we have a lower high on August 8th.; now, we’re in ‘up-thrust’ position.

Data coming in, here and here, indicates the market(s) may be at an inflection point, minor, or potentially, major.

The second link is especially well-done; it methodically steps through the mechanics of a potential high.

Delta Stalls, after Earnings

July 12, 2025 By in Airlines, Artificial Intelligence, DAL, DAL-25-02, Livermore, Positions, Semiconductors, SOXX, SOXX-25-04, WMT, WMT-25-04, Wyckoff

Straight Up, to Resistance

Delta’s latest earnings release provided an excellent opportunity for a ‘changing of hands’.

We’ll have to see what happens next, to verify that premise (not advice, not a recommendation).

In a scene that could be straight out of Livermore and Wyckoff’s observations, the big players need huge volume to enter or exit positions.

For Delta, that volume event was (potentially) last Thursday.

Delta DAL, Daily

Stright up to resistance on massive volume.

Then, the next day, a lower close.

There’s a lot going on in this chart.

As noted, we’re at the 61.8%, retrace of the entire move; January 22nd, highs, to ‘tariff panic’, April 4th, lows.

The initial wave from highs-to-lows, was ‘impulsive’.

Then, and a-b-c, ‘corrective’ wave (labeling not shown), to where we are now.

All of which, brings us to ‘positioning’

Positions

As noted, short this sector as trade DAL-25-02; stop, just above Thursday’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Other Markets

Discretionary exit on SOXX short, SOXX-25-04, at break-even (not advice, not a recommendation).

Maintaining Wal-Mart short, WMT-25-04, with stop lowered to 96.78 (not advice, not a recommendation).

CrowdStrike’s … Terminal Wedge

July 11, 2025 By in Cramer, CRWD, Positions, Richie Naso, SOXX, SOXX-25-03, SOXX-25-04, WMT, WMT-25-04, Wyckoff

Contrary Indicator(s)

Part of the wedge ‘Throw-Over’ as we’ll see in the chart, may have been in response to this, link here.

With the ‘all clear’ going out to millions of ‘investors’, what could go wrong?

Looking at it from a strictly Wyckoff, and chart pattern perspective (a la Richie Nasso), probabilities favor a reversal (not advice, not a recommendation).

CrowdStrike CRWD, Daily Close

Price action has entered back into the pattern.

Positioning

No active positions in CRWD … yet.

After yesterday’s trend-break (into the pattern), there’s a possibility for a rally to test.

Other Markets

SOXX short, was re-opened as SOXX-25-04, with stop at yesterday’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Wal-Mart short, WMT-25-04, remains active, with stop being moved down to (near) the last session high of 96.91 (not advice, not a recommendation).

SOXX, at The Edge

July 10, 2025 By in NVDA, Positions, SOXX, SOXX-25-03, Up-Thrust, WMT, WMT-25-04, Wyckoff 1 Comment

Thrust Apex?

From the April 7th lows, to now, each successive move higher in the SOXX, has traveled less net distance.

In Wyckoff terms, this type of market behavior occurs near the end of a move (not advice, not a recommendation).

Let’s not forget the up-thrust condition, still in effect, discussed here.

Semiconductors SOXX, Daily Close

In a related analysis, the last post on Nvidia had it at Fibonacci Week 144 (-1).

Now, a week later, Nvidia is in Fibonacci Week 144 (from October 2022, lows), posting all-time highs.

Positioning

Short the SOXX, as trade SOXX-25-03, with stop just above the session high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Note: This could be a very short-lived trade as SOXX, is trading higher in the pre-market (as of 8:35 a.m., EST).

Separately, the stop on short trade WMT-25-04, has been moved down to just above its session high at 97.31 (not advice, not a recommendation).

If WMT, posts a new daily high, it’s likely to test the trend break; we’ll stand on the sidelines if/when, that happens.

Wal-Mart … The Sleeper?

July 9, 2025 By in DIA, Dow 30, Nasdaq, Positions, QQQ, Up-Thrust, WMT, WMT-25-04 1 Comment

Follow, the Set-Up

Is it possible that Wal-Mart, one of the laggards of the market, for years if not decades, could all-of-a-sudden, become exciting?

Exciting that is, to the downside (not advice, not a recommendation).

As the tagline above says, ‘Follow, the Set-Up’.

Well, here it is.

Wal-Mart WMT, Daily Close

It’s important to note: Unlike the rest of the indices, the S&P, the Qs, the Dow, WMT, is well below its all-time highs.

Yesterday, was a potential trend break. Today, may be continuation, or test of that break.

Positioning

Short as trade WMT-25-04, with stop at yesterday’s high, WMT 99.17 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Wal-Mart Breakdown

July 8, 2025 By in Positions, SOXX, SOXX-25-01, Up-Thrust, WMT, WMT-25-04

Up-Thrust and Trend Break

Wal-Mart’s not looking too good.

The premise for WMT, price action remains intact; we’re (still) in a test of the up-thrust, discussed here.

That ‘test’ may have been resolved with today’s action.

Positions

Currently short WMT, as WMT-25-04, with stop at the session high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Charts to follow.

Separately, SOXX short, despite all the (analysis) work, was stopped out with a slight profit: SOXX-25-01, closed (not advice, not a recommendation).
