MA

jimmut

Actually I think the chance is pretty high right now for this normally bullish part of seasonality. Also the flush the day after nvidia earnings wasn’t normal. Bitcoin dumping as far as it has isn’t normal. SPX should be down near 6K to match the MA drop level in BTC. I personally am adding spy put hedge on any bullish moves and VIX calls. I mean could they manipulate it higher sure. To me the market is being held up by strings that are slowly breaking. Need a real decent pullback to maybe put the market back on better footing. I sold most my longs and am in cash. I will Still DCA small amounts if it looks like it’s gonna continue or news turns real positive but to me it’s never been clearer this is or very near to the 2022 top scenario.

YourDamnBestie

MA’s are lagging. You know that right?

Hopeful-Goose-7217

Works only when the market continues its selloff. (Like q1) The violent buy the dips will wipe out a ton of gains (since then) Execution matters. The closer to get to the limit prices the less of this impact. Gap risks will kill ypu. My back tests show that the contrary - buying above the MA isn’t superior than buy and hold which was surprising. And that was before all the taxes you would pay

BacktestAndChill

Sure thing - it's a pretty simple one working on statistics and fundamentals. Essentially I took the math behind S&P Global's momentum indices which is publicly available and tweaked it to suit my needs.  Instead of applying it to the s&p500, 400, 600, and whatever their international variant is called, I fed it data from Morningstar's stock selections for the US portion and their international one with a filter to only include stocks that can be traded on the US exchange(a whole lotta ADRs basically). It works well enough on international markets based on testing but that opens up a whole tax based headache and I ain't about that life.  I also dumped sector filters limiting how much of any given sector could be included.  Large Cap is explicitly 50% value and 50% growth, mid and small cap are each blend, international is blend. This is still leaning towards growth tech at the moment but is more balanced than the S&P500 overall.  Checking which companies to include in the portfolio occurs once a month but changing out one for another only occurs with great enough shift in the metrics. For example a signal occurred recently to change out MA for NFLX but the signal was so slight that no actual adjustment was made. A full capital rebalance happens annually for tax purposes, ongoing balancing through the year is basically just buying more of laggards to bring things back into line.  As to how this was developed - I decided I liked SPMO and XMMO and wanted to see if their strategy worked on other stuff - it just popped into my head one day when I went "hmm what about a NASDAQ-100 momentum index?"(QTOP basically does that). The coding portion is pretty simple.  As far as pointers and resources, I cant really help you there. As you can probably guess by the rest of this comment I'm basically piggybacking on people smarter than me.

GOOGL, AMZN, MA, NFLX trying to find a 5th

Leroy--Brown

V and MA have those higher margins and higher growth. They model their businesses after each other. AXP as a financial payment processor follows a model more closely resembling Ferrari is to the rest of the auto industry. Their members are treated with a certain amount of exclusivity. Their members also come from the upper class. While their market share is lower, they retain control of a segment that other banks will aspire to take market share from, but will never be able to.

illinformed-will

How you know it's not gonna bounce shortly after going a bit under 200MA or hit resistance slightly after crossing up 200MA ? You don't. What you describe look a lot like buy high/sell low, ie not selling the top but waiting for the confirmation of a deep bearish trend loosing alot of gains ; buying when a lot of the run back up already happened. That's how i see it. Tchecking news for the stock or broad market + technicals on shorter time frame and other indicators + confirming the trend a few days/1 week is better when trying to time the market (a loosing strat most of the time as OP demonstrated).

papsmearfestival

What about price vs the 200 MA? Price falls below 200, sell. Moves above, buy. That has to beat buy and hold

vollyn

Financials have been hammered and stayed flat for... absolutely no reason. Therefore, MA, V, MCO, SPGI are all on my watchlist.

Constant-Bridge3690

AXP never shows up in my screens because their operating margin is much lower than V and MA. For me, a high operating margin is the proof of the moat. That equals market share and pricing power.

Leroy--Brown

I genuinely think this is a fascinating question, but you should place V, MA, andAXP in a completely different analysis model than all the rest. Their business models are fundamentally different and have a larger moats due to owning and operating the payment networks.

Helpful-Quarter-8632

This “correction” will last into 2026. The AI theme is collapsing, along with everything associated with it. My investing view is that we see SPY hit 620ish range (which is around the 200 day MA) before we ever see 700 … probably near the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027.

PTRBoyz

Worst case scenario is some gaps get filled. But the divergence between highs and 200 day MA is closing. Probably another week or so of harsher conditions. Closer to the bottom than people on this terrible site think. 

greenpride32

Investing in individual stocks is investing in a company - not the broader economy. I buy companies that consistently increase shareholder value through growth in top line, bottom line, profit, margin, dividend etc. A company can be doing great, but macro issues pull the stock back. But in the end, the great companies always rise. I suppose if you are just playing speculative and hot plays, it may make sense to follow the trend. But 7-18+ years in stocks such as MSFT AMZN NFLX MA V NVDA AVGO and I'll continue to keep adding and holding over time as long as the company continues to perform. It is quite difficult to match those gains trading in and out so many times for a small slice here and there, and needing to be "right" on the majority. I just need to be right twice, when I buy, and when I sell. I am up so much, short of major disaster, being right is almost locked in - even if cut in 50% it's still postive trades. And yes I've had losers along the way that I dumped when outlook went sour - UA is one of them.

Intelligent-Shape888

Surely many are waiting for this to roll over and at least retest (if not breach) the 100d MA. Today is proof again that markets can be manipulated seemingly at will. It is what it is. Bears now have to retreat at least in the short term. if we get a follow up rally next week and retake the 675 level with conviction then I say we rally on hard into the spring/mid term elections to at least the 750 level.

MutaliskGluon

I only look at bars and wicks. No trend lines, no moving averages, no anything else, just bars and wicks. In this instance we formed a 15m fair value gap resistance which was exciting. But then the next 15m candle completely closed it, and that is usually a trap set by algos, so I just dumped everything at 1:46 as I didnt like what PA was doing. I pretty much only use Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and Gaps as my "indicators". I also look at Bolinger Bands and get more aggressive into my shorts/longs when something is above/below their BBs when also coinciding with other resistances or supports. I hate EMAs and trend lines as you can draw a line slightly differently, or use a different MA (SMA, EMA, 21, 50, 100 etc) to get the desired result you want to see

tired_ani

Happy to be buying CSU, META, MELI at these prices Happy to have brought TDG, BN and AWK My mega cap tech concentration is greatly reduced. I have also built smaller positions in the following CLMB, HWKN, FEIM, PANW. Was considering V/MA but that idea on the shelf rn due to too many positions.

80delta

That isnt a prediction, its stating a current fact. You and I have different definitions of a bull market. The price is below its 10, 20, and 50 day moving average. Its close to going below the 100 day MA. That is not a bull market, in my book. The definition of a bear market is more than 10% drop. We aren't there yet, either. Could the " bull market" start up again? Sure. Who knows. But right now, we aren't in a bull. We're in between. Which is where everyone usually loses their shit.

talbotron22

Same, looking at SOFI Jan 15 2027 calls. The further ITM you go the more you make. Looking for delta 0.8 or so. If SOFI drops further (maybe to $20, the 200 MA) I suspect this will be the $17 or $15 strike)

Humanrocketship

LEAPS. Particularly on META since still a great company, crushing earnings and lots of upside. It is below 200 MA with a low PE providing good entry. AMZN looking very good too as it approaches 200 MA. Cant go wrong with MAG 7 stocks

ChicagoanPizza

No guarantees in the market for sure, but there's risk to reward. To me the risk to reward today was a great opportunity, you had a 1.6%? gap up on little to no meaningful news, with SPY closing under the 50MA the last couple of days, Im in the belief that for that size of a gap up, there needs to be GREAT volume and there really wasn't anything, as well as some other things I saw. Long story short I entered OTM and ATM puts that expired today and tomorrow. Closed my last con out for 1,600%... which is insane.

NakedPatrick

Oh we’re just getting fucking started. Have you seen the 200MA on the vix? It is still through the floor. Buckle up bulls, you’re about to get fucked all through 2026z

bleepingblotto

Hint: your fail safe exit strategy should have a MA crossover in it.

Ok_Cry7572

QQQ - Closed below the 100 day MA. The drawdown of this correction is now similar to the one in April 2024 when it bottomed on the day it closed below the 100 DMA, but that was on Friday, not Thursday, so I still expect a lower low tomorrow, at least on an intraday basis.

rajricardo

There goes the 100 MA. Damn. What a dump.

TheLoneWolf_218

Well, last time NASDAQ crossed the 100MA on the daily was Feb 15. We are dangerously close now

Aggressive_Fun_8564

yall poo poo on BTC. Itll retrace back to 50w MA. The top is in but it never moves in a straight line down

markandersonfb

it's gotta tag the 100 day MA at this point.

BigWarning8696

Yes sir, this is likely the start of the real drop. My guess is we go down to the 200MA on major indexes. Will be a great time to load up on leaps if one is patient enough

african_cheetah

Decay will eat away your inverse. If you want to hedge, use options. Or better yet, take away some profits while it’s up. We are still way above 200 MA, drawdowns haven’t even reached -10%. So still a bull market with a bit of correction.

neotank35

I told myself buy puts it's going to test the MA. but just couldnt bring myself to be gay.

greenpride32

Study done by Fidelity showed that inactive accounts are their highest performing - because the equities in place capture all the long term gains - they don't time and miss out on jumps. Typical investment cycle for a person getting out of school at 20-21 and retiring at 60-62 is 40 years. There isn't a single 40 year window where the broader market index is down - in fact they're all up substantially. So I put all my money into the market at the peak of the dot com boom, I'm still postive (by a lot) today. If I put all my money into the market at peak 2007 before the financial crisis, I'm still postive (by a lot) today. Those aren't even realistic examples, so people who had some buys at peak, but many other buys at lows are even better off. I hold index and individual stocks for 7-10+ years (some nearing 20). Go look at any chart, VOO QQQM MSTF AMZN V MA NVDA AVGO NFLX. Some of these stocks dipped by more than 50% from near term peaks - what does it matter if I didn't sell at the lows? This is how you growth real wealth. You and I can say anything we want - but the chart doesn't lie. NVDA is up nearly 1,400% in 5 years. How many slices of little profit do you need to collect to match that?

longGERN

MA and V literally free money

UnivalveX

LMAO bers actually thought we'd spend more than 24 business hours under the 50-day MA in this regard market

jgooody

Those candles are wild, multiple names crashing through 200MA. When's the next support? Didn't think we'd hit ATLs so quickly and aggressively. Being very careful repositioning here.

tired_ani

Anybody looking into MA or V? Reasonable price but overhang of disruption.

NecessaryEmployer488

There is quite a bit of speculation on this front. Too many investors are thinking the bull market is the problem for the bearish case. I don't see enough Stock market signs at the moment we are close to the end. There were some especially in the options arena but they are going back to normal. Economy wise low gas prices mean higher profits. Earnings are increasing as well. It is kind of 50:50 if we solidly break the 50-day MA on the indexes. If so, I fully expect to 200-day MA to hold.

Bulls cracking me up, asking for a V like there was no catalyst yesterday. We’re still below the 50 MA. Sentiment is still negative. Without a good NVDA report or Fed comments, this train is headed down the tracks.

Bro, ai, data centers, and all this hype has definitely crashed. I use spy to guage broader market. If that 50MA doesn't hold here some big red candles are coming, could see 610 pretty quickly and that will bring the rest of the market down much more. Stay ready dog.

What if… investors were actually removing their equity from investments ? S&P has dipped below the 50 day MA.

We are almost certainly going to open below the 50d MA.

I’m in the bizz but on the bond side. At our company gym sometimes we talk smack to each other to help without saying anything we shouldn’t. I’ve heard this hood idea a few times already. Enough to make me only play the upside for now and only at 50 DAY MA levels like this week. Sorta makes sense. Banks are hurting on the equity trading side. Picking up a hood is a quick shortcut into retail. Also heard IKBR is up for sale perhaps. Old man wants to sell out before he croaks. But 80% of this shit is bullshit. Until it’s not 😭

I do use RSI, 52 week low, relative MA, and 10/50/200 MA to help choose entry points. But I do it specifically when I've identified a beaten down stock that is set up for mean reversion. By themselves, these stats dont tell you anything that they'd be actionable in isolation.

Okay, guys we are here again. 50 day MA is the blue line below. SPY 667.9 is the current 50 day MA. We have not closed below this line even one time in 7 months.

Perfect — here’s a one-page investment memo for PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) as of November 2025, summarizing the company’s latest financials, strategic momentum, valuation view, and key risks. 📄 Investment Memo: PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) Date: November 2025 Analyst: ChatGPT (GPT-5) Sector: Fintech / Payments Ticker: PYPL | Market Cap: ~$75B Recent Price (Nov 2025): ~$68–70 52-Week Range: ~$50 – $82 🧾 Investment Thesis PayPal is executing a credible turnaround under CEO Alex Chriss, transitioning from stagnation toward profitable, diversified growth. With improving transaction margins, renewed consumer engagement through Venmo, early traction in advertising and AI-driven commerce integrations, and the reinstatement of a dividend, PayPal is re-emerging as a cash-rich fintech with multiple growth levers. Valuation remains compelling relative to peers, suggesting upside potential if management sustains EPS momentum and TPV growth. 💰 Recent Performance (Q3 2025 Highlights) Revenue: $8.42 B (+7% YoY) Non-GAAP EPS: $1.34 (+12% YoY) TPV: $458 B (+8% YoY) Free Cash Flow: $1.7 B Active Accounts: 438 M (+1% YoY) Transaction Margin Dollars: +6% YoY Dividend: Initiated at $0.14 / quarter (first in company history) Buybacks: $1.5 B repurchased Q3 alone Outlook: FY25 non-GAAP EPS $5.35–5.39 (raised). Management emphasizes “quality growth” and cost discipline. 🚀 Key Catalysts & Positives 1. Venmo Monetization: Launch of Venmo Stash cash-back program aims to drive debit card spend and interchange revenue. Venmo card penetration now a key monetization vector. 2. PayPal World / Cross-Border Expansion: New platform linking to India UPI, Mercado Pago, and Tenpay Global opens high-growth remittance and merchant corridors. 3. PayPal Ads: Building first-party data ad network leveraging merchant insights — potentially high-margin incremental revenue. 4. AI & Agentic Commerce Partnerships: Integrations with Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity to enable “smart checkout” and embedded payment flows. 5. Capital Returns: Dividend + accelerated buybacks signal confidence in steady free-cash-flow generation. 6. Crypto & BNPL Product Expansion: Enhanced stablecoin and BNPL infrastructure expand addressable markets beyond traditional checkout. ⚙️ Financial Health Net Cash Position: ~$3 B (cash – debt) Free Cash Flow Yield: ~9–10% Operating Margin: ~23% (non-GAAP) ROE: ~21% No material near-term debt maturities 📊 Valuation Snapshot (as of Nov 2025) Metric PYPL Peers (Avg: V, MA, SQ, ADYEN) Forward P/E ~12× ~21× EV/EBITDA ~9× ~16× FCF Yield ~9–10% ~5% Fair Value Estimate: $85–95 / share (≈25–35% upside) Assumes sustained mid-single-digit revenue growth, stable margins, and continued capital returns. ⚠️ Key Risks User Engagement: Transactions per account still below 2022 levels; weak activity could cap TPV growth. Competitive Pressure: Apple Pay, Block/Square, and traditional card networks compress take-rates. Regulatory Headwinds: BNPL, crypto, and ad data usage may invite scrutiny. Execution Risk: Monetizing Venmo Stash and Ads needs careful rollout and user adoption. Macro Sensitivity: Consumer spending slowdown could hit merchant volumes. 🧩 Bottom Line PayPal is no longer a pure growth story — it’s a cash-flow compounder in transition, trading at value-stock multiples. Early success with Venmo Stash, PayPal Ads, and cross-border expansion shows a path back to mid-teens EPS growth. If execution holds, re-rating toward peers’ multiples appears justified. 📈 Recommendation: Buy / Accumulate Time Horizon: 12–24 months Target Range: $85–95 Would you like me to append a peer-comparison chart (Square, Visa, Mastercard, Adyen) and a DCF-based fair-value model to this memo for deeper valuation detail?

Okay... now I "think?" I get. Takes a while for my smooth brain to compute... (light bulb!) So you are looking for Stocks where the ATR is greater than the EM! and the ratio is that the ATR is greater than the EM. Gothca... Do you have other criteria such long term uptrend?... above certain MA's?... Down so much from the highs and turning?... Lower part of BB's? etc. or are those "sort of" proprietery things? THANK YOU again... Twilighter.

I love how you guys have your little in phrases and voodoo rituals and think it means something, it's so cute  "Well, chart. Resistance and MA. Also, support. NVDA!"

A lot of this varies depending on where you live, but buying usually wins after several years in terms of monthly cost. I think maintenance cost is too high in your example and it can screw your projections a lot. Here's your exact example but with 1% maintenance cost. You're also not really comparing apples to apples most likely. 2400 is less than a what section 8 pays on a 1BR apartment here in my town in MA.

Daily MACD is showing a slowdown of bearish pressure. The 50MA is around $19. I would personally hold with an exit of $18.86, which it it’s next resistance.

"build a strategy: Yes. I have a strategy in my trading plan that works. I tweak it every so often but not by much. "and blindly follow it without any additional support or indicator." That's right no technical analysis indicators. MA, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Gann, etc. However I do use a lot of fundamental analysis. I do that starting at 8:30AM (ET) by: Reviewing Asian markets activity (they're closed) Reviewing European market activity (they're mid day) Reviewing morning Economic Indicators (ADP, CPI, etc.) Reviewing AM earnings releases Fed upcoming activity Morning political activity and, especially, Morning futures market activity (e.s ES, YM, NQ, DX, GC, CL etc., ...and a few more things. By 9:30AM (ET) I'm ready to begin trading SPX 0DTE options. I generally let the market open for a 10-15 minutes and let it settle down. Then I look at Expected Move, IV, IVR and IV% and jump in with a Call and Put credit spread. Looks like a lopsided iron condor but in fact I trade the spreads separately. Some days the spreads are 1SD away from the money other days closer to 2SD. That's it.

According to my charts, the 50 MA was holding on Friday. Next would be 21 MA and then 9 MA. But maybe I am reading stuff wrong.

vermilli21

Yeah SPY broke the 50MA but with such low volume that shit was bound to bounce

Adventurous_Cry4889

Bounced off the daily 50MA. Don’t overthing it too much market doesn’t run off logic

NostrilLube

This is the answer. SPY, NVDA, etc, all hit the 50MA. When indexes close under the 20MA or 10MA crosses under 20MA, a fast wash to the 50MA is likely. Then a reversal is attempted and many times holds. Next week will be interesting.

NostrilLube

50 day moving average. QQQ, SPY, NVDA, all 50MA hits. Market tends to attempt a bounce at the 50.

Why would card companies tank in an “ai bubble”? I’m bullish on MA, V and AXP, but AXP most of all. They’ve adapted to the market better than any of the card companies and their wealthy market is poised for further growth over the next decade plus. They’re also the leaders in rewards and loyalty. Lots of excellent narratives for them, and that’s not even considering their extremely strong performance and fundamentals

Nobody can tell you 100% if it was the right choice until after the fact. The market might shakeout weak hands or it might continue to go down more. SPY and QQQ ended up bouncing off of their 50day MA today. Will it hold is the question to confirm the bounce

50MA held nicely. Gotta see about continuation into next week.
