NTAP Earnings: Short-term Bottom, HFT, Pro Traders, Buybacks

13 feb 2019

NetApp is a Data Storage company for Cloud Technology. The Financial Services Industry is reporting a huge increase in Cloud Services usage that is starting in 2019 after a very conservative interest in Cloud Based Storage and services. This could potentially help NTAP complete this short term bottom and begin a new business cycle for the next couple of years. NTAP topped around $88 and declined to a low of about $56 before starting this first attempt at a bottom. HFTs are likely to be targeting this stock tomorrow as it reports its earnings. NTAP technically has stopped just below resistance for a completion of bottom. It is technically in a sideways pattern at this level. BOP shows HFTs were the drivers for the stock to drop in price to the short term bottom low of $56. BOP is not yet showing any quiet accumulation. Some pro traders are in the mix. The stock may also be under buyback mode as well.
