Good morning, traders. It's Wednesday, August 19th at 5:07 AM. All right, 2 stocks to trade today. We've got the QQQs and we've got Rocket Lab. So the Q's, let's go ahead. These largest trades, well, in the last month we had this consolidation here, but the big thing I talk about this, we did this in the video the other day. We've got this print here, 2.4 million. We upthrusted and then yesterday the late print. So this one here, 5.2 million shares. It says August 18th. It doesn't match this, um, this candle. This is a late print that should have been in the previous day's candle. Anyway, they were showing us their hand yesterday. $4 billion, uh, looks like selling at $729.78, and it was a nice $10 gap down. We're sitting on the 15 exponential moving average, so we're— this print here, $720.65, is the resistance now. So let's see if we can break above this 4 and 8 exponential moving average. We could maybe get back up to this print here. Uh, this seems to be a little bit of, uh, support here. If we break below, maybe it's the 50 simple or down here to the, um, whatever this one is, and then the, um, the yellow one potentially in here in this range. So let's go ahead and look at that on the intraday. So on the intraday with my pivots and cams, we're going to be bullish above 720. This is a 200 exponential move or 200 simple moving average, so we want this pivot here, this cam to be support. So 720, 720, 93. So 65 and the 93 is resistance, and then 721.12. Then we've got 723.73 is a cam. 724.73 is R2. 727.50, 729.78 is the 5.2 million From there, and 730.94 is R3. So that's giving us about a 10-point move. The ATR is about 12 at the moment, 12.25. So on the downside, we're going to be bearish below 718. You can see we're about to test that here. We've got this upthrust at the 200, and then we've got these 3 pivots sitting right here. So let's see if we hold. If 718 becomes resistance, that's our entry. 716.94, 716.37. This is the pre-market, post-market. So Support level 715.80, 714.91. You can see that 714.09, 712.31 is S2. So this is a little bit difficult on the downside. It's doable. And then S2, 711.29. Then we've got 710 and 706.18 is S3, which is usually oversold, getting us down here to about, yeah, 706. All right, let's move on to Rocket Lab. Okay, so Rocket Lab's a bit of a mess. Look at prints here going all the way back here to July 21st. You can see this line we pulled back to a moving average, breaking up through the prints. We've upthrusted, but wait, there were more prints in here, and we've sandwiched here in a very tight range from 70, 77 To 81, tag the 50. We're just stuck in between and see what's going on here. We're below the 4 and the 8 exponential moving average. Let's see if we can potentially move down. We'll have a downward, downward trade, and then if we move up, then we'll have the upward trade. So we have— we'll get in if it does a specific thing and take our profit. So let's go ahead and look. We are going to be bullish above 78.50. We've got this range right here. Target 78.78. 79.03 is the pivot, and then 79.16 is $254K. Then we've got 79.54 right here, uh, but we've got my 200 simple, 200 exponential. It's the, it's the 50-cent level as well. So be careful of this because we're bearish. It looks slightly bearish at the moment anyway, so just be careful with that. 79.92. Then we've got 80. 80.30, and then we've got 81.17, which is our one. This one has an ATR of about $5.61, and so we're down $1.25 at the moment. So on the downside, we're going to be below 77.75. We're moving down a little bit. You can see some volume coming in. We've got this print here from August 6th, 200K. So let's see if this holds. If we, if we tag this, move up start breaking down again, then that's a good entry there with increasing volume. Second test of this print, we'll see. Then target 77.50, 77.01, 76.87 is a cam. Then we've got 76, 75, and 74.88 and 87 is a cam and a pivot together. So the downside here looks great for pockets. There's a nice pocket there at the 77 And then another pocket down there. So yeah, the ATR on this one I mentioned, right? 561. All right, there you have it. Those are your two trade setups for today. So please like, share, subscribe, do all of that great stuff.
