Why is sandisk just bouncing off the 20 day MA

I'm buying boring stuff like MA, SPGI, CSU. It's working well so far.

they gotta run these 20 MA 50 MA ES stops for sure

MarthaJulietta

I think you can look at the chart and think the market might be rolling over or at least pulling back another 5% to test the 200MA. Things can deteriorate from here rather quickly through oil shock, US political turmoil, AI fears, etc, or some confluence of factors.

NecessaryEmployer488

All I can say, is that I looked at my charts last night and it looks like we did not hold the 50-day MA and there is a lot of air down to the 200-day. I think we won't go there right away. But there are things to look at. 1) pre-earnings sell off are normally followed by a rally later into the earning season. Timing is about a turn end of next week at the earliest. 2) People are turning bearish so when enough are bearish the market turns on them.

Moepenmoes

$MSFT and $MA keeping my port green for the last 30 days already. I don't even know why I'm still holding onto my semis bags, feels like it's going to drop quite a bit more before it V's back up a little.

Throwaway37620

What does it mean when a stock falls below all it's MA lines 🤡

PenguinOfB00m

The triple top formed over 2 weeks or so last month, it was the bounce down from the 2200-2300 range. MA50 is broken, the outlook is very very bad. Without a support level it's hard to tell what is going to happen, plus most of the trades this last month were based on headlines rather than hyped. If SNDK makes a clean break under 1500 it's going much lower.

shoebucks_moonpie

Most support/resistance levels and moving averages. For example, I put a lot of money into Marvel when it recently hit the 21 day MA.

music_is_gud

Market breadth is literally expanding. You can see how many constituents are hitting 52 wk highs and how many are moving above 50d and 200d MA. It was in the 30s in may compared to 50s in July. Idk what tf you on about.

esInvests

technical indicators aren't hogwash inherently, they're just misused. theyre tools to help assess things, with various predictive capabilities. some useful ones: moving averages, volume averages, volatility averages/percentiles, return windows, etc. the trick is there is no indicator that just "works" you need to contextualize them. best thing to do is to pick a couple and research them. example, moving averages. there is no magic here. they show you trend. however, what you'll find is different volatility names, market caps, sectors, have different relationships with different MAs. once you measure them you can use them more effectively. the other thing id add is i wouldnt just materialize indicators, they need to be made relative to the profit mechanism. example, if im trading momentum, moving averages are really useful. if im trading short-term momentum reversals, the 10 month MA is useless, etc.

What’s the 200 day MA for MU?

i_empathetic

Gonna follow the "no new buyers" NVDA playbook with MU. When MU finally consolidates down and hits the 200-day MA, that's when I'll rebuild a serious non-degen position. Will that be 700? 600? Depends how fast this downturn goes. But once it dumps under that 200-day it will double in the months following.

NerdSlamPo

I threw in 20 shares to test MA two weeks ago and am up a decent amount. I think there’s lots of legs there for shareholders

99-Watermelons

Ask Chat GPT to create you a graph of the 150 day moving average ( MA) price and compare it to the 150 days moving average price of the sector . If the sector is down but MSFT's moving average line sits above the sector's MA it's a buy but if it's below put your money elsewhere. This is going to indicate whether the money is moving into the sector or moving out . If mircosoft is out performing it's peers it's worth a punt ; if its under forming the sector average price put your money elsewhere and ask Chat GPT to create the same graphs with other stocks you are considering until to track a winner .... this is pretty much what the big players do when deciding where to shift their money to

Optimal_Image5192

I mean maybe ? The chart has been broken for a while, with 50 MA acting as overhead resistance. I still think this is just hardware related selling. Look at names like $ONTO, $COHU etc, same story.

EconomicAffairs

$7 is way above the 200MA, on a stock that is a falling knife and with tons of supply ahead yet (because almost everyone has lost money on it and waiting to break even). Pick a reasonable strike.

helpmee12343

Ik Ik, told it to play aggressive lmao. I guess it didn’t wanna hold cash and wait for the hit off the 200 MA

WordsHappenedHere

63% of S&P stocks are trading above their 20 day MA. What tf are you even talking about? I guess you own alot of junk. https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/$S5TW

Rez-_-

I do have a thesis and I consistently watch it get toyed with but whatever man—surely you knew MU would reject and sell off the rest of the day in the final hour after holding the 15 min MA 5 times

Rez-_-

Hmm weird past two days shorting if something was this strapped to holding the MA it would launch up but I guess now we don’t do that

JiffyDealer

GTFO 

Rez-_-

Then I’m gonna have some dipshit in here tell me how obviously MU wasn’t gonna go up look how many times it rejected the MA resistance ignoring that that’s what this shit has done for the last 30+ hours but whatever

helpmee12343

Thats how rocketlab is, own it on my main port. Have been in since 5$. It'll drop to the 200MA daily and than run up again.

Rez-_-

So convenient dumped past MA on MSTR and spent just enough time recovering in the last minutes to save it and show “strength”

Life-Trade-6514

Apple has descending green volume and has breached its hourly moving average 4 times in three days so its bound to break soon. 10 day MA is around 306. Would like to see a pull back to retap and then pull forward for earnings

Boys4Ever

I mostly swing trade support and resistance but since April that's been impossible because of the gap up therefore back to price action based on 2-4h candles. Stopped using other TA such MA years ago because it didn't work for me and stayed with just Heiken Ashi which I started using during COVID. Key for me is removing noise but I also look at macros such as yeilds and dollar plus these days oil. However, sometimes chips take their own path and those macros useless more noise. I would never own SOXL without the flexibility to exit and especially at current high valuations.

No_Obligation_7762

Yeah those r my core too. NFLX ad tier is underated, MA just keeps compunding, and Meta's capex is crazy but the cash flow is insane. Keep addin on weakness for sure.

Rez-_-

Robot AI tape painting bots win again saving the MA at the last possible minute on the 5 min

Rez-_-

So odd how every time we sell below an MA it’s early in the candle so we can “recover” it in time to save it and keep the momentum

Rez-_-

Here we go again sell below an MA at the beginning of a one minute candle and then spam the bid at the last seconds to “HOLD” it

Rez-_-

Also so weird that everytime we start to almost dip .20 cents or past an MA we magically get some .10 bid up to save the day at the last seconds and make it look strong to go higher

CMTTrader

Looking for 1,040-1,060 on MU. DRAM, SMH, SNDK, and everything else in sector all match up to 10/20-day MA cross targets

bulzome9

Here is my mentality. I use the 50 MA hourly as my guiding star. if Sp500 closes above that 2 consecutive times then its on like Donkey Kong and I make daytrades and swing trades. When price closes below 50 MA hourly 2 consecutive times I get out. Then I just watch the market keep dropping until it gets to a major support on the daily and I start buying again. So my mind is always satisfied either way. I can start pushing buttons again or I can watch everything fall and be super happy I am dodging a bullet and that I will get stocks for really cheap too. I just follow my green light and red light rules.

Goldonthehorizon

Lulu been bouncing down the 30 day MA seen January. Morningstar thinks it a $280 stock.

Si1verange1

Looks like it bounced off the 50 MA to me. I'm totally on the bear train with you, but if this holds and breaks out, I have to buy it back. D:

Beazt11123

The news is that it hit its 200d MA

thenorthernwhiteboy

This isnt a terrible idea as long as you don’t legit blow it… no leveraged ETFs, no options and don’t buy things 200% above their 200day MA (\*cough cough\* MU) If you want to take some risk find a sector you like and get an ETF with exposure… Space, Banks, Quantum, Optics, Biotech, Semis etc etc Been in QTUM for years, keep buying more and more

Delicious_Put_5857

switzerlands crazy imagine if like MA + RI + CT were in the round of 16 lol

i_empathetic

NVDA bounce up off the 200-day MA today, AVGO pretty much did as well

Acrobatic-Ostrich168

Okay. TA and FA time. MU hitting a 200 MA today, I think this is where we reverse. RKLB 200 ma at like $80, let’s start to see buyers. Meta pumped on news of an ai image tool, ai trade still intact; however, I’m wary of frothy af cloud and Ai companies. NVDA chart isn’t looking the greatest but it’s a value and growth stock at this price. Indexes still near ath showing a rotation, too late to chase defensive sectors, hoping space and semis are back on the menu ASAP

LopsideLeg

I agree that the recent dip wasn't due to fundamentals. If it were due to memory cyclicality fears, other AI-adjacent stocks wouldn't have moved so strongly down in parallel. If it were due to CAPEX reduction fears, AMZN announcing new share offerings and META deals with Samsung should have sent AI stocks up. Instead, we saw a strong correction down to the 50 MA for most of the AI market while software, big tech, defensives, finance, healthcare and utilies rose. Now, I don't know if we're going to get a green day tomorrow though. Gamma flows are still pushing the market down and we haven't really seen it start to stabilize yet. I do think we may start seeing a trend reversal in the next week or two though.

Hunting-Duck

 Ah the same regard that said adtx would be 2$ in no time 😂

V and MA dumping?

richard-b-inya

Any LLM can do this for you when you are working with indexes or ETFs based on an index. TLDR QQQA with 200D MA in/out does 17.3% annually since 1996. Mindless and easy.

jo1717a

You never mentioned 200d MA in this chain and you haven't provided a backtest to show that can outperform anything when backtesting before 2000

richard-b-inya

You are under performing QQQA buy and hold 200D MA strat which is what I originally stated.

Vegetable-Bug-9779

My non tech positions are V, MA, SPGI, AXP, COST

willfightforbeer

Totally, you should never trust a single paper, and the methods used (causal methods applied to observational data) need to be taken with a grain of salt. But electricity costs are going up everywhere, which is why one actually has to be more rigorous about the comparison. MA isn't a big DC market and we have some of the highest electricity rates anywhere.

Not-Bruce-Wayne1

Hahaha. You cant say it looks good when it was falling down from ATHs. I was playing the $100 support in hopes it would continue consolidating. Once that broke i was going to try to catch it towards the 200 day MA. Ened up adding to my position around $82. When i say dogshit, when it broke the $100 support it completely lost strength and was in free fall. Almost hit the 200ema and thats when the catalyst came and it caught a bounce. Showing a bit more strength now and capital is slowly flowing back in. If it can reclaim the 21 and 50 day MA i expect capital to start flowing back in and pushing atleast $119. Bought august calls to try to offset a bit of sideways action. Downside is def there too with a continues rejection of reclaiming 21/50ema, losing $99.58 support and possible gapfill $85-89.

Guy_PCS

MC with less outstanding shares vs Visa which justified the premium price movement. The last earnings report Visa fundamentals changed with Visa (V) is trading at a forward Price-to-Earnings (P/E) multiple of 23.4x, giving it a cheaper near-term valuation compared to Mastercard (MA), which commands a slightly higher forward P/E multiple of 27.4x. Wall Street all of a sudden doesn't like debt which MC has a lot more.

I’d rather visit any neighborhood sub shop (North Shore MA) than a chain like Jerseys Mikes or Subway. Also, I’d rather invest in Chipotle if I was looking to invest in a fast casual chain. I started visiting again and portions are decent and price for a bowl is $10. Chipotle is dirt cheap when compared to sub and sandwiches. Even McDonalds is freaking $15 for a concoction of chemicals bound together by other chemicals.

Big_Fix9049

Exactly my thoughts. Both great companies, no doubt, but MA really went on a downturn while V stayed fairly strong. I - myself - added more MA shares.

No-Understanding9064

I would bet most buyers of visa grabbed mastercard as well. MA was actually discounted to visa which I havent ever seen

NecessaryEmployer488

For me semi's dropped as expected to their 50-day MA went back up to the 20-day MA and will likely find strong support at 50-day MA again. It has a higher chance of going up from her vs braking below. My guess for semiconductors we have entered into a trading range for 6 months to the next 1.5 years. We are currently at the low part of this range.

Big_Fix9049

Why not looking at Mastercard? Even better the recent dip to its 200MA on weekly candles

STEP 1 — Pull LIVE data (do not rely on memory or stale figures): \- Current share price (plus pre/after-hours if relevant) \- Daily chart: 10 / 50 / 200-day SMA and RSI(14) \- Weekly (3-month) chart: 10 / 50 / 200-period SMA and RSI(14) \- Option chain for the expirations you'll use: strikes, implied volatility, delta, and probability of profit STEP 2 — Trend read: \- Where price sits vs each moving average, and the MA stack (bull/bear alignment) \- Daily vs weekly RSI — flag overbought/oversold and any divergence \- How far extended price is above/below the 50- and 200-day (mean-reversion risk) \- The stock's current IV / IV rank — are options expensive or cheap right now? STEP 3 — Catalysts (with exact dates): \- The stock's next earnings date \- Key sector-peer events and macro data that move this name \- Flag any binary event that falls INSIDE the option's timeline STEP 4 — Options strategies — give 3-4 and RANK them by probability of profit: \- Include BOTH premium-selling plays (cash-secured put, credit spread, covered call) and directional debit plays (bull call / bear put spread) \- For each: exact expiration date, exact strike(s), call or put, net debit/credit, max gain, max loss, break-even, and probability of profit \- Derive every win probability from the option's delta and IV — the market's real estimate. Do NOT invent or inflate win rates. If a play is high-payoff but low-probability, say so plainly. MY PARAMETERS: \- Horizon: \[2 weeks / 1-2 months / swing\] \- Goal: \[highest win chance / highest payoff / income / hedge\] \- Max $ I'll risk: \[e.g., $2,000\] \- Do I own 100+ shares? \[yes/no\] (needed for covered calls) \- Account: \[margin/cash\], \[taxable/retirement\] FINISH WITH: the single best-fit strategy for my goal, the one risk that would break it, and a "not financial advice" note. Reply "ready!" if you understand and I'll give you the ticker — or ask me anything you need first.

DSCN__034

On the weekend I screen for stocks that are above their 8-d and 24-d moving average and their 8-week and 24-week moving average. Going up on both daily and weekly. I get about 20-30 names, mostly stocks and maybe a couple ETFs. Then on Monday morning I go to the 30-min charts and see which ones are breaking above the previous week high, and buy those. Small positiona, no more than 2-3% of the portfolio each. I hold them for at least two days; if they continue up I keep them. If they drop I get out with a stop at the 24-d MA. Keep the winners and ditch the losers. After a few days of up-moves the exit gets a little more nuanced. I'll take profits on a bearish candle. But weekends are for looking at charts to get a list together.

TheGuyAboveMeSucks

(Based only off lines I drew with crayons) BABA has crossed the 200MA on the weekly. I’ve had an alert set at $88 for awhile. Thinking it’s dropping to close to $84 before bouncing back. “Buy the dip faggot”

Look at how for 7 straight minutes it’s not allowed to go past a microscopic MA because that would flip it up and be a productive 15 minute candle and that’s not allowed because than how would they make money on premiums

Good_Character_20

Cadence: 45 DTE is the canonical answer per TastyTrade research. Weekly ICs put you in gamma hell every Wednesday; monthly leaves too much theta on the table per trade. 45 DTE entries, manage out by 21 DTE, repeat. That's the bread-and-butter loop. Entry: don't use technicals. Selling premium is a vol bet, not a directional one. The relevant filter is IV rank. IVR > 30 is the minimum I'd consider, IVR > 50 is where the math actually works. Picking ICs based on Bollinger bands or 50MA is using the wrong tool. The underlying being "overbought" doesn't tell you whether premium is rich. Premium being rich tells you whether premium is rich. Management: the 21 DTE rule is the right default. Close at 21 DTE regardless of P&L, OR at 50% max profit, whichever comes first. For a breached side: don't roll mechanically. Roll only if IV is still elevated post-move because rolling collects meaningful credit only when there's still premium to sell. If IV crushed post-move, rolling sells cheap premium against a now-naked side. Make pennies, accept more risk. Just close and redeploy. One nuance: if both sides are still safe but one has gone deep ITM in profit (price moved away), consider closing just that profitable side to free up risk and let the threatened side ride. Reduces correlated exposure.

This guy understands. Zuck is a great CEO for his ability to pivot and steer the ship. Look at their healthy MA record and extrapolate the data Meta is accumulating. It’s clear Meta has a massive stake in the AI play. That user data, now with enhanced AI capability and tracking across multiple platforms and devices…is tremendously valuable.

Lmfao really bad idea to buy msft or meta, well below their 200 day MA

IntrepidFile2593

Interesting thesis on the consumer sentiment angle — worth digging into the numbers though. LULU scores 32/100 on our research tool right now, which is deep in “avoid” territory. The issues: EPS is down -9.4% YoY, FCF dropped -41.8%, and the company guided to flat-to-down revenue for the full year. Stock is -31% below its 200-day MA with RSI at 36 — not really showing accumulation yet. Your macro thesis isn’t wrong (upper middle class spending recovery), but the margin pressure may be structural, not just cyclical. Also worth noting there’s a CEO transition underway until September. Could be a value trap at $115 rather than a bounce setup. I’d want to see at least one quarter of margin stabilisation before getting comfortable. Free research here if useful 👇 https://picksmith.co/free-research/2026-06-17-lululemon-athletica.html

Yeah. I own both and AXP and this concerns me. AXP has been really good to me, but I'm considering dumping V and MA, and will trim AXP.

I said it was starting. Semis and space trade continue to move down, while this is starting to rebound. Recently hit off the 200 weekly MA. Its bottomed out.

DuckTalesOohOoh

Makes no sense. I think it's just rotation and a good time to buy. On the monthly, it's about to bounce off the 50MA, where it has bounced a few times the past couple of years.
