Ever since SQ broke its downtrend from the all-time high at the beginning of 2019, our team at PLT has been watching for great intra-day and swing trade setups. SQ is one of our favorite companies to always remain bullish on due to the products and services they offer in the Fin-tech industry.
This trade was planned on January 18, 2019 over the weekend to enter February $65 call options on the retest of the close of January 17, 2019. You can see SQ's price broke above the daily 200 day sma, which is typically very strong support. Our stop was placed below all the bullish candles and the 1/3 back fib just under $63.50.
Result was a nice 56.7% gain on the calls almost the next day after hitting target 1. Target 2 was also hit which was the 1.618% extension from the most recent move. The calls return went well above 100% at that point since they were deep in the money.
SQ most likely goes higher, but may reset and retest a bit before earnings.
Look out for more day and swing trade ideas in the very near future now that we are all settled in to our Trading View account :-).
Cheers!
