Earnings Breakouts & Technical Movers - Weekend Watchlist

Humbled Trader's day trading & swing trading ideas

Markets experienced modest gains this week, with the S&P 500 rising over 1%, aligning with last week's "Slightly Bullish" forecast. Positive technical momentum and a 90-day pause on EU tariffs contributed to the rally. However, late-week concerns emerged after President Trump accused China of violating their trade agreement, leading to a slight pullback. Despite this, the market's reaction to trade-related headlines has been more muted compared to previous months

PLTR $131.78

  • Impressive recovery run on this name. The stock is back at all-time highs and consolidating for a potential breakout.

  • The key level is the $127s area on the daily. If that level continues to hold up and we break through $133s, I’d be looking for trend join long set-ups.

  • This is purely a technical day trade and swing trade idea.

  • Position Disclosure: No position

 

DOCU $88.61

  • The stock has reversed the daily downtrend and is now consolidating for more breakout.

  • Please note the company will be reporting on Q1 earnings after close on Thursday.

  • The key level to watch is the $89 area on the daily chart. If that level is reclaimed early next week, we could see another run into earnings and test $92 and higher.

  • A safer way to play this name is to wait for potential gap up or down setups after earnings report on Thursday.

  • Position Disclosure: No position

UNH $301.91

  • It’s been a turbulent few months for this stock. Sentiment for this company is likely near all-time lows. A potential technical reversal is setting up.

  • Leaning cautiously bullish on this name IF it reclaims KL.

  • The key level to watch is the $305-$310s area. The confirmation I am looking for is a strong reclaim over the daily 8EMA.

  • If it reclaims over the said KL mentioned above, we could see a slow grind up to $330s and potentially higher to fill some technical gap above.

  • This could play out as a multi-month swing trade. The spreads and range on this name are not for beginners or conservative traders. Ensure that you assess your personal risk allocation.

  • Position Disclosure: No Position
