AMD: This feels "early" given the follow thru rally this week in Tech complex and there is absolutely a shorter term bull case scenario where we tested & held the 200DMA at $420 and are off to make new ATH...BUT if you think this whole AI trade is a Wyckoff distribution with more downside to come before putting in a durable bottom then the bear case is this: we backfill gap at $566 (blue arrow) and proceed to make a new low targeting the rectangle box gapfill zone down to $365 ish. Am going to use PUT debit spreads to limit $ invested and add flexibility since this could go either way still. Dec - April timeframe.
Was considering a long on #MU as it bounced around the short term MAs but noticed this island reversal over last few weeks & looming open gap around $870 support & decided to wait and see...
Update 2 months later: if this memory complex/KOSPI retracement continues to the existing neckline as others are pointing out, that 12% drop would align nicely with this gapfill on MU.
@FentanylSucks@iBladesi just my opinion and could be wrong but at these various levels every $ not paid to the pref flows to the common in a transaction creating a more antagonistic relationship: my read is a barbell structure of long common & baby bonds while avoiding the prefs makes most sense now.
been diggin in on this: think issue is the common is so low now & the CoC conversion rate 1.33x post 2022 split, that these pref really aren't fully covered anymore (same going on w/CIM). Even if MFA was taken over at BV only gives like $15 to the prefs & I think the market is starting to sniff this out...
@MichaelPBento ok added some 11/20 SPY730P here at $755 net debit $1.50 in case PPI is hot tomorrow but otherwise feels like $765 is the next big resistance level calling...
@SmedleyButlerUS Do u think we retest lows or make a higher low or just this is the floor now? Guess it depends on CPI but future reads seem totally binary on oil: escalation is oil/yields up and peace is both down
