SWKS trade ideas
This is a follow-up to another user @vince;
His stop is very very tight and that is alright but what I see? Here is my triangle inside month “If you want to look at that you are welcome to open the chart and go to the month. Let’s talk about stop and entry points If you’re looking at Vince’s chart yeah It’s very tight to give it some room to do something. Will SWKS drop a 1.46% on Tuesday? Probably or probably not. I took that drop on 7/21 where you see that red dot line that is where I’m going to stop out to be risky choice to take but, I don’t think that Traders will go back to Friday notes and analyze the data from Fridays report.
Buy SWKS breakoutSWKS has created a double bottom and potential rev head and shoulders, it is now above the down trend line and is in a pause with a potential breakout here would offer a good buy with a low risk having stop below the consolidation pattern. Market is still over bough in my opinion as manipulation continues behind the curtain so caution on all is always critical and never risk more than 3% portfolio risk per trade in this type market
SWKS trending well but approaching $100SWKS has been trending well for about a year. There was a deep pullback in October 2014, which would have stopped most longer-term trend traders out of the position, but the trend soon resumed its prior linearity.
This stock could have first been traded when it broke the 2001 high, in April 2014 at around $40, as the uptrend was already well established. Then, after the October 2014 pullback, it could have been traded again. Although the 2000 high, of $78.25, was on the horizon there was still plenty of room for price to move. In fact, price passed this high with little fuss - the retest marginally breached $78.25 - although the pullback did take a few weeks to complete.
Now price is approaching the $100 figure (which can act as a psychological resistance) and the chances of becoming risk-free prior to this are dwindling. For near-term traders there is a good opportunity here, but for longer-term traders it may be safer to wait for $100 to be broken (and possibly also wait for the earnings announcement on 21st April).
SWKS - future is unclearTechnically this doesn't look ready to buy, below the 50-day average and it's not out of the trend line yet, but it has shown some good relative strength the last 3 days on this attempted market rally. If it is to hold the current levels, it would need to consolidate sideways for about 6 more months and if it rallies out of it vertically, it will sell off and probably turn previous resistance into support, so there will be many more opportunities to buy it low. It might turn this into a double bottom, or it might form a reverse head and shoulders pattern, or it might just continue to slide.
I believe this stock is sufficiently undervalued, but until it breaks the trend, it's bearish.
Re-adjusting & Adding to SWKSWell I took the majority off of GMCR looking to put that capital to work in SWKS. I like the company fundamentally, and look to add more to the position. Due to the real chance of a pullback / correction in the general market I like entering through the options market limiting my risk to the premiums. Also we have a potential bullish pinbar forming at support, and above average "buy" volume supporting the move. Along with very large Q1 Institutional accumulation of shares, I feel comfortable adding at this area.
I will keep any followers posted on progress for the remainder of the trading day today. As I will be looking at the final hour of trading to enter into the position.
Do note that this is more of an investment for me so any short term volatility will not shake me out of the position, and as long as the stock stays above the D1 200 Moving Average then I'm holding, and hedging the positions accordingly.
Strong breakout on heavy volumeSWKS is working its way above advanced pivots at 100.43, 97.41 and 96.99 within a 2nd stage flat base. It is presently making a run at the classic pivot of 102.77. Support may come in off the 50dma, the recent low of 95.91 (both the 10 and 21emas are currently at this level) or 92.33 as a stronger zone of support.
The RS line is breaking out to new highs as ahead of price. This indicates that SWKS is currently a leading stock.

Skywalking to new highs w a close above 102.77Ignore the badly drawn cloud. I was bored :)
Premise:
I wanted to get into $GILD last week and it looks too exteneded today. So I found this $SWKS chart and it could make a similar move.
Breaking the trendline on a close above 99, making higher lows on the daily chart. Front running a breakout above of the March 23rd high at 102.77 MACD is trying to go higher. RSI trending higher. You don't need anything else to convince you a low risk long.
I bought a JULY 105 Call for $4.07 w 60 days til expiration (market maker was nice I put in a 4.20 limit offer)
Stop loss to get out with a close below 96.00 on the underlying price or a 30 day time stop which ever happens first.
Target is $106.72 on the underlying. It is the 1272 fib extension of the 3/23 swing high to 3/26 swing low.
Happy Monday.
Skyworks Nears Flat Base entry at 102.87SWKS has been one of the strongest stocks in the market over the last year.
It has also been so consistent and not choppy.
I like the company and its in a valid base, which I believe is a stage 2 flat base since the Oct low.
Industry group rank =10
On the other side of the coin, it has 0 Qtrs of EPS acceleration...
Still almost every other light is green, except 3yr sales growth =22% which is red.

SKWS Harsh Decline may lead to possible quick correctionRemember it is important to wait for the next candle to confirm. This is a bullish Hammer after a downtrend from a harsh pullback in asian chip stocks this week. Although Vortex indicator has confirmed a larger bearish move is still likely, as there is no confirmation that this decline is over, it is very possible that speculators will continue to aggressively buy this dip pushing the price back towards $100.
Tomorrow Bullish scenario: (move towards $96.71), if SKWS opens above this may act as support
Tomorrow Bearish scenario: (move towards $89.92) 50 Day EMA may provide signifcant support if further declines
With a PE of about $33, skyworks is currently overvalued, HOWEVER, SWKS is projected to have a YoY growth rate of 50% in the period ending 12/31/2015. That would merit, if PEG = 1 at that future date, a possible stock value of $164. DISCLOSURE: i OWN SHARES OF SWKS
