Not loving META being under its 200MA

TrailerParkBuddha

I want to buy calls on MA because they report earnings tomorrow and Visa reported today and ripped 8%, but the options chain is illiquid and the spreads are intimidating. I don't know how to trade it.

LumpyShock9656

MA never allows to move more than 3%. It's stuck in the purgatory

Mordrim

This rally is hiding a lot of weaknesses. Market breadth has been narrow, with only 53% of SP500 companies above their 50day MA. Only 2 sectors (XLK and XLRE) made new ATHs after the March swoon. Unless we get a lot more participation from the other sectors, I don't think this rally is sustainable.

InvestigatorHefty799

If V did good, then MA has to print too, right? That's enough DD for me

SuspiciousSpyderman

I sold $MA right before Visa earnings. I need that meme of the guy putting his hand on another guy's shoulder.

SuspiciousSpyderman

I sold MA for a 1% profit, too much of a pansy to hold through visa and ma earnings

JohnnyStrides

Amex being a niche, "luxury product" is exactly why it's more resilient than V or MA. Even if the rest of the world moves to lower-cost, commodity networks they'll just replacing the low-value, high volume transactions that V & MC dominate (that's if they even do). Amex is so much more than a payment rail... to quote you, don't you know the business model? Their closed loop model and brand loyalty form a massive moat that no other network is even remotely close to penetrating. Find a proper 5 star or better hotel anywhere on the planet that doesn't take Amex... that market isn't going away, if anything it's being fortified. Merchants in North America who ditch Amex pay the price by losing loyal customers which is why it's so widely accepted here.

Competitive-Ant2876

Ehh go look at financials and read the MA&D part. States they don’t have enough liquidity on go forward basis. Your playing with fire

Dr_Meany

Won't matter, don't you know the business model? The merchants pay. Consumer demand is largely irrelevant. And regulators will 100% have their thumb on the scale. America *hates* this because the V and (less so) MA networks are basically a ~2% tax on European business. Without this Uncle Sam doesn't get a taste. AXP is largely a luxury product and operates in a different space, V is the blunt commodity instrument.

something-behind-him

Visa and Mastercard is the network, AmEx is the network plus the bank part and the booking part. It’s a closed loop. Unlike visa/MA, they also own the relationship part. Relationship with the wealthiest segment. The relationship is the most valuable part of the stack. They know what the wealthy buys, what they need, when they need it. For decades. They know what benefits is needed to keep them in the card…the relationship. Obviously not for me as their benefits don’t appeal to me.

Prethiraj

You can't use just PE to value this company like MA/V because they carry the risk for their cards. The company will always have a lower PE because it trades partially like a bank.

optimaltimemism

It took me this long to find a winning strategy and I feel so stoopid! If you look at the chart using the 4H TF, dating back far as 10Y. The candle bounces off the slow MA, RSI at 30, MACD showing signs of reversal from a bearish trend... That's exactly where I should have never started trading.

I’d recommend learning sell rules from Investors Business Daily. Understand the concepts of first stage base Vs fourth stage base. Learn to understand a stocks personality and what is out of character. Huge upswings on low volume at an ATH — consider selling or selling a third. If a real runner of a stock closes below the 10 day MA during a strong uptrend for two consecutive days consider selling some. Distribution days get to be 5 or more in a 2-3 month period consider selling some. Read How to Make Money in Stocks

WeUsedToBeNumber10

1. Mastercard owns Finicity, an open banking platform.  2. MA/V/AXP all provide liability protection on the networks. 3. Transactions are easily reversible due to fraud.  4. Cards provide float and rewards.  5. MA and C business is much more than cards.  This comes up repeatedly with a fundamental lack of understanding of these businesses and how large the market really is.

$IQST strong close over 50MA with huge 30k bids coming in indicating shorts are trapped should see some covering and a nice squeeze tomorrow

ReelTech

This is the right instinct, but if you want to be mechanical about it instead of guessing the 'portion', you can define a trailing-stop or percentage-off rule and backtest how it would have performed across similar 2x+ runs on the same stock or a basket of peers. Both CovenantAlpha.com and TradingView.com let you script a simple rule like 'sell 25% every time position gains another 20% from last sale' or 'trim half at a break of the 50-day MA' and see the outcome over 5-10 years of history. MRVL has had a few similar runs since 2020; running the rule back through those gives you a feel for what actually leaves money on the table vs what preserves gains. Doesn't remove the psychology but at least the framework isn't arbitrary.

curious_skeptic

Yeah, except that the hardware isn't capable of double-checking itself and makes a LOT of mistakes. I counted 8 times that FSD made a huge, risky mistake the last time I used it (2 hour drive across Route 2 in MA). I haven't used it since. 2018 Model 3.

DataAndFinance

You’ve navigated a great run, so it makes sense to sanity-check “is this topping?” right as it flips to long-term gains. On fundamentals, your framing is solid: sold-out capacity + low forward multiple is a real anchor. SETA’s job is to answer a different question: is the tape showing distribution… or continued sponsorship? Our current SETA read on $MU: still constructive — not a “run is over” profile. • Trend / Structure: the sentiment MA stack is still bullishly aligned (short-term baseline above medium-term, above longer-term). That’s what “supported trend” looks like in our framework. • Momentum vs. belief: $MU isn’t showing the classic “price up / belief down” trap. Price RSI is warm (\~68.8), but Sentiment RSI is also strong (\~60.2) → momentum is being backed, not just chased. • Narrative focus: the conversation we’re seeing is still clustered around long-cycle capex / supply-chain / memory fundamentals, not short-lived macro headline churn. Practical takeaway (not advice): if you’re uneasy, you don’t have to choose all in / all out. A common play is trim a piece to de-risk, then let the rest ride with a plan (levels/size/time) so you’re not making decisions on a single scary day. Not financial advice — just a structure check.

$MCO "Moody's (MCO) stock rose 1.4% in Wednesday premarket trading after the ratings and market analytics company's Q1 earnings exceeded the Wall Street consensus on strong results in its investor services and analytics divisions. Q1 adjusted EPS of $4.33, topping the average analyst estimate of $4.22, rose from $3.64 in Q4 and $3.83 in last year's Q1. Q1 revenue of $2.08B, beating the $2.06B consensus, increased from $1.89B in the prior quarter and $1.92B a year ago. "MIS (Moody's Investor Services) achieved record revenues of $1.2B on over $2T in rated issuance and delivered an adjusted operating margin of 67%," said President and CEO Rob Fauber. "MA (Moody's Analytics) continued its growth momentum with 8% ARR (annualized recurring revenue) growth and 250 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion. As AI adoption accelerates, it is driving demand for Moody’s decision-grade connected intelligence in high-stakes environments." The company reaffirmed its 2026 guidance for revenue growth in the high-single-digit percent range and adjusted EPS of $16.40-$17.00. Analytics revenue of $926M dropped from $943M in Q4 and climbed from $859M in last year's Q1. The division's 8% Y/Y growth includes 7% growth in Decision Solutions, an 8% increase in Research and Insights, and a 10% improvement in Data and Information. Recurring revenue of $909M increased 11% on a reported basis and 7% on an organic constant currency basis. Investors Service revenue of $1.15B, marking the highest quarter on record, climbed from $946M in the previous quarter and $1.07B a year ago. The 8% Y/Y growth was driven by a 33% increase in investment grade revenue, a 31% jump in high-yield revenue, and corporate finance revenue growth of 12%. Leveraged loans revenue dipped 13% Y/Y." Let's give it a couple more quarters of results to see the impacts, but it really seems like AI has made a massive change to Moody's Analytics business. It's impaired the business so much that operating margins expanded 2.5% while revenue growth kept it's high single digit pace. Business as usual.

RSI is at 96, the company is garbage, they'll do dilution soon and it'll implode. Tried to make a post on WSB but the mods wouldn't let me. Anyway, watch the 20 MA line on the 4-hour chart. A close below that and this thing implodes. Alternatively, news of dilution or some other bad press and it'll have the same effect. I will be patiently waiting with tendies to deploy into puts.

SP500 (VOO/SPY) has returned 10.5% CAGR with dividends reinvested. Another way to look at it is your investment doubles roughly every 7 years. If you can't beat the index, you should be joining it. Me personally, I'm more of an individual stock picker. But even though I own stocks suchs as V MA MSFT NFLX AMZN GOOGL NVDA AVGO for many years, I still put money into VOO and QQQM. Why? Because the index is a consistent winner too. And I realize that no matter how successful a company was in the past, does not guarantee future success. Just look at members of the DIJA30 over the years and how much they have changed, or even 100 weights in SP500.

Honestly I learned a lot from ChatGPT. So your 9 and 20EMA are intraday levels they almost run with the stock and play an intermediate level of support/resistance and then your 50,100,200MA’s and VWAP are more major levels but price action is King so these levels are just indicators but it helps us have an idea/range of how things could play out

rvanasty

The hole is that its an indicator. There is no one golden metric. PCR is heavily skewed by institutional hedging. High PCRs guarantee exactly nothing. If using, look at a 10D MA. At the end of the day there is almost ZERO difference in PCR and the Fear abnd Greed Index. Dare ANYONE to poke a hole in that. I would recc F&G any day over PCR as a single metric unless you're trying to show off to your friends who dont know shit. PCR is fools gold.

I went for a bigger trim and kept 30% cash this round because barbers are getting too expensive. Besides that, also inspired by the 30% gap between the RSI and 14-MA RSI. Even during liberation day and months up to end December, the RSI and its shadow never trailed so far apart.

SignificanceNo3295

The market is positive only because Trump is sounding positive and Benjamin is shutting up. I did an astrology reading and the stars are aligned, RSI for Nasdaq and S&P are 30% over 14-MA, we are primed for some bad news this weekend.

Here you go ber. Here is your local ber, April 25 ber to years long ber market levels.

Its not a good time to buy, its below its 21 day EMA and 200 day MA. Probably will be a buy at 85 to 89.

Its below its 200 day MA and now its 21 EMA could dip more. Dont buy every dip, buy at key supports with confirmation. Or when its ascending back toward the 21 EMA.

Eagerbeaver98

I feel you and Ive been there betore but the only one irrational is us because we assume low volume is the whole market. We also forget institutions love to rotate. You also forget to use key supports as buying opportunities and fail to integrate macro and technical information like maybe our stock is well below its 200 day MA Or 21 day EMA. Once we stop blaming the market things fix themselves.

Eagerbeaver98

Because you bought well below the 200 day MA, or below 21 EMA, buy the dip at strong supports or above 21EMA.

I use tradingview as well to view volume, I believe it works well. I do not place call trades unless the buying volume is above the MA volume. Also, a good clue that works for me to validate my setups, if sellers are in control that drives a red candle but the selling volume is lower than the MA then that is a good signal selling pressure may be exhausted and buyers are about to step back in.

Should have waited for the rejection on the relief bounce. It's gonna retest a couple MA's before more downside participation.

greenpride32

I've been in the markets for over 25 years. In my early years, I'd think similar to you and fear my paper gains could evaporate because stock prices do go up and down, a lot. But after some time, I started to realize the same names that always drew my interest kept going up over time. I might a stake here, sell for profit, and buy in later at a higher entry. Point is, if you pick winners, they'll keep going up over time. Look at the long term charts for NVDA AMZN MSFT NFLX GOOGL V WMT LLY COST MA - 100% is nothing. So I'm not sure how deeply you research your stocks or if you just follow hot trends. But if you really want to grow net worth, you want to find "forever" stocks - stocks that consistently increase revenue/profit/distributions over time and have some strong barriers to entry. Of course you also need to keep tracking the stocks in case outlook changes and you may need to liquidate. One way gives you some extra spending cash, other way has potentially life changing gains. TBH - you can just use the index to get 10%/year and double the value roughly every 7 years. When you buy individual stocks, you buy them to hit home runs above the 10%.

I originally bought MSFT at $110 in 2018 - never sold and never added until this most recent drop - been adding under $400 - my last purchase was around $370. My cost basis is up to $163 now. I'm holding for another 15 years. I think I'll be happy I did. I think it was Charlie Munger who said if all you do is buy great companies at the 200MA you will do just fine. You have to step in when pessimists are everywhere.

Take your L. You edit shows you are wrong even when you try backtrack…. wrong on so may levels. It isn’t a historic anything. Microsoft has definitely had a lower PE in the last decade. Bringing up 200W MA, guess what 200W stands for? 200 weeks, aka not even 4 years. Then you mention 2011 like that’s such a massive time gap to make it historic… Microsoft has been around since the mid 1970s…

Budget-Ad-2759

I’ve been monitoring SPY price action all morning. I only buy when there a clear bullish signal. Based on the MACD crossover above the zero line, it’s a very clear bullish signal a reversal signal. A golden cross has formed at the bottom, and the MA and VWAP have also crossed. Of course, given that SPY has been falling all morning, this trend is bound to reverse. Since we can’t post images in the comments section, I’d be happy to send you a screenshot if you’d like to see it

SavedSaver

The desktop is just not much better unfortunately. Clunky too. For example for equities/futures scalping if you have only price and 2 MA's on your chart all three items have price bubbles but the study bubbles can not be removed. In addition the bubbles are bigger than the price increment and what you see is an endless dance of bubbles as the price and studies are too close or converge. Does not meet the simplest clarity and simplicity requirement. I called them about this and other issues and the person was very nice but clueless, they stressed that they are trying to create something unique and intuitive??!!. To be able to make quick decisions just give me a visually clean setup.

SugarPhoenix

Its legit 4% off ATH and not going to fall anymore due to JPOW putting in a bottom. So it sits right under the 200 day MA until there is more clarity on Iran.

Medium-to-6 month term (and indeed this week more intimately)? Absolutely. Rode up and rejected on 200 DMA. I thought it'd squeeze to around 655, but that was an oversight from me as should have known it would go up a little higher to the 200MA. Last few days have had the low volume, low vol trading expected (although the dip got bought up quickly for those who went into last Thursday with a blank slate). Let's see how rest of this week now plays out.

4:55 PM EDT, April 06, 2026 (Benzinga Newswire) Health insurer stocks are surging after the market close on Monday, following the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized [payment policies for 2027](https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/11/49083625/cms-unveils-2027-rule-to-refocus-medicare-advantage-on-outcomes). * **CVS Health stock is showing exceptional strength.** [**What’s behind CVS gains?**](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS) # Health Insurer Stocks Rise After The Bell The CMS released the 2027 Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D rate announcement after the close on Monday, projecting a net average increase of 2.48% next year. Shares of **CVS Health Corp** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS)[CVS](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS)), **UnitedHealth Group Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH)[UNH](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH)), **Humana Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUM)[HUM](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUM)) and **Elevance Health Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELV)[ELV](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELV)) all moved significantly higher after the announcement. The anticipated increase includes consideration of the various elements that impact MA payments, including growth rates of underlying costs, 2026 Star Ratings for 2027 quality bonus payments, and risk adjustment updates. "Medicare Advantage and Part D should work for the people who rely on them," said CMS Administrator **Mehmet Oz**. "These updates keep coverage affordable and ensure patients get real value from their plans."  Here’s a look at the after-hours price action of the aforementioned tickers at the time of publication on Monday: * **CVS:** up 9.48% at $80.22 * **UNH:** up 9.34% at $307.72 * **HUM:** up 11.58% at $203.80 * **ELV:** up 5.83% at $320.25 *Image:* [*Shutterstock.com*](http://Shutterstock.com)

LightOverWater

I think this buying is mostly technical plus buy the dip crowds. Im not yet seeing bullish follow through. What I see today is SPY atrempting to break the 200-day MA in a short term bull trend, while the VIX is climbing higher on an up day to sustain its medium term bullish trend. This is quite contrarian. The Strait is also closed and I'd say it needs to have at lease 30% of its traffic flowing for this to get real bullish. Until then the oil shortage is too significant and the clock is running. However, we don't have a significant catalyst for another leg down and the market is seriously hedged. I dont see this being a high volatility market given that realized vol has been persistently way lower than implied vol. We could march down like a staircase on lower vol.  So, if Strait at least partially opens or some deal is struck, we rip higher on this pent up bullish demand, but if we get this prolonged oil-blocked market we will trade lower over time.
