On August 30, we connected the dots on AMZN’s first trip to $2,000+. The stock made a trip down to $1,865 on Monday before a second trip above $2,000 today. Let’s look at it chart by chart. On Monday, AMZN reclaimed the 50 day fast and put in a Red Dog Reversal signal. I got long around $1904ish. On Tuesday morning, I noted that it needed a high-volume close above $1957.It then cleared $1957, breaking above the wedge, to hit $1975. Since it was up on day #3 by this time, I trimmed so I can add back if it wanted to rest. I also noted next resistance is $1993-$2008.And finally, AMZN put in two more up days to hit $2010+ — right above my resistance range.This is a good example of why I take an “if-then” approach to trading. I don’t just blindly buy based on patterns — I want confirmation of a move based on my levels before I commit.Positions Disclosure: As of September 28, 2018 at 12:33 p.m. ET, Scott J.

Sami Abusaad | Black Room LessonsThe 200ma is the granddaddy of all moving averages. As such, stocks that gap just above the (flat) 200ma, regardless of the quality of the gap, generally get bought.Gaps below a 200ma usually get sold. Similarly, a multi bar drop into a 200ma often stops the stock dead in its tracks. One other thing to remember is that while the 20ma is most powerful when it’s trending, the 200ma is most powerful when it’s flat.

Let’s take a fresh look at the action in tech. Yesterday, the QQQ’s got hit early but held the 50 day with a low at $181.30. It rallied and went green to outperform yesterday, which was good to see. As long as the 50 day holds, it is hard to get too bearish here. Let’s drill down to some individual names, starting with Nvidia (NVDA). Yesterday, there was a nice Red Dog Reversal buy signal around the $262.11 pivot. It also reclaimed the 50 day to close on the highs of the day. I’d probably look to trim it into the $270 area if I was long, but it has a little more room to $273.We saw a similar move in Amazon (AMZN). It sliced the 50 day fast at $1894 before reclaiming it. I’m looking to trim some this morning and hold some because there is a chance it gets better and resolves the range higher. But it really needs a high volume close above $1957 for that.Now let’s turn to Apple (AAPL). It started on the weaker side yesterday but reclaimed $217.29 pretty fast. I bought some lower yesterday. Now we’ll see if we can actually add higher. It would be good for tech if it can get above $222.50 and hold above it.Netflix (NFLX) as kind of an odd-looking inverse head & shoulders pattern. It reclaimed the 8/21 day yesterday to get me long. Now it would be healthy to clear $377 for upside. But for that to happen, it needs to get and stay above $373.64 first.Positions Disclosure: As of September 25, 2018 at 10:54 a.m. ET, Scott J. Redler is long FEYE, CGC, FB, BAC, NFLX, XLE, AMZN, IBM calls, GWPH calls
