LIVS trade ideas
$ALV Setting UpXETR:ALV got that confluence of trendline and horizontal supply.
Don't like the volume pattern on the far right with wide daily swings. That said last 2 days calmed down a bit.

ALV breakout tradehi Traders
Let's have a look at ALV
ALV looks interesting.
We're expecting the price to surge higher.
Take a long position once the price breaks out of the triangle.
Target for longs: 110 $
If the price breaks down, we won't be looking for shorts but longs at the upsloping support (red trendline).
Good luck
Counting a Pattern An idea that I am using counting this inverted head and shoulders pattern.
I have outlined all the points on chart.
Kind of look at the chart with a slight left tilt to your head and you will see the H&S perfectly.
This might be a bit of an outlandish idea so let me know what you think.

Watchlist 2023-01-27 #CVX #ALV #LUVSPY started yesterday with a fakeout at the key 404 level. Swiped lower until finding support at 400. From there, it was a grind higher all day to close above 404. An inverse H&S in the afternoon signaled that we were going to close near the highs. Today we are gapping lower. Technically we broke all the key resistance levels so the next stop is 412. However, it's Friday and we've had 5 green days in a row. I wouldn't be surprised if we found a close in between yesterday's range. Bias is neutral, but I can easily flip if I see the right price action.
CVX - yesterday CVX announced a historical share buyback program. Today, they missed on earnings with lower global oil consumption. Anchored VWAP shows that the majority of buys yesterday are now under water. Looking for a morning shove lower to flush out those longs. They I expect the rally to continue with new buys if we find support above the PD low.
ALV - Gap fade - Up 3 ATRs in the PM on >30K PM vol, gapping into key resistance at 90.26. Looking for failed-follow through momentum then short.
LUV - Prior day had huge relative vol, with capitulation at 34.82. 35.80 is going to be the key level to watch. To do retest and fade lower? Or consolidate and push high into the previous value area? I will be waiting for price action of either side.
Autoliv not living its life to the fullest. Down we go. ALVWe are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe

Not a recommendation
ALV Double Bump and RunALV has formed a long uptrend extending back to 2000, this uptrend should continue with another inverse bump and run, returning the price back to the upward trend. Green fractal is indicative of this.
ALV: going to 74+ and earning is nearI am trying to decide but this is not a very good name for options traders. Will see
Looking Bearish for $ALVMonthly breaking down here on ALV... Missed earnings several time, compounded with the weakness in the Auto industry. $ALV $F
Autoliv stock has collided with a van (2)This stock was speeding towards the moon but it forgot to check the blind spot. Now we are pulling back and the question is how far will we go?. It looks like it will either be at 80$ or at 65$. I prefer 65$!
Timing = 1 ( lately this stock has pulled back with the market & my current bias is we are finding a bottom to reverse soon)
Volume = 0 ( The volume was weaker on the move up and stronger on this latest sell off making me think that there might be more downside )
Group strength = -1 (The consumer cyclicals have broken some key resistance)
Entry = 1 ( i like this entry below current price bc i am cheap & i have bias for more downside in the current market)
Fractal = 1 (fractals support a reversal )
Bullish breakout from multi-year consolidation (35+% upside)Stock saw strong moves up in 2013 & 2014 off of GFC lows as the global economy rebounded.
Swedish Autoliv made their name in seatbelts but pioneer a wide range of vehicle safety products these days.
2.5 year symmetrical triangle (alt. bull flag) has broken out with some horizontal levels still above.
The flag interpretation Implies a measured move to 1500+ / share. A 35+% gain
The triangle targets 1400+, a 25-30% rise.
Potential stop at red dashed line.
Autolivs' return for the third time.Autoliv has been ranging since May 2015,building a giant flag after a major uptrend.I would guess the cycle for the stock to come up to target, if it does would need a quarter..
The Power - Ranger :-)Stock with longterm-range. From a cyclical view, next Station should be 124$. The BB (100) are good for trading that range
