Stocks Give Back Gains Playing The Usually Game Of Filling Gaps

STOCKS: UBER, AMZN, FB, ROKU, INTC

MACRO: SPY

MICHAEL KRAMER OWNS SPY CALLS

S&P 500 (SPY)

Stocks gapped higher, and for a change, they decided to fill the gap, probably because I thought they wouldn’t fill the gap, but they did. No sweat. The good news is that the trend in the S&P 500 remains higher and that 3,346 has not been tested yet. It means that 3,372, for now, is the short-term resistance level, with room up to 3,400 still in place. Today’s price action changed nothing for me, except giving us a sense of where some resistance may lie

Roku (ROKU) 

So let’s talk about Roku. Today I saw some bullish betting that made me do a 180 and go from bearish to bullish, plus the stock broke a downtrend. So, yeah, I hate switching my view two days before earnings, but I can’t go against the trend and activity I’m seeing.

Facebook (FB)

Facebook fell today, as we noted the downgrade this morning, and it has now failed at resistance. Now $203 is the next level of support. Remember, I noted some bearish betting in this one late last week. Free story- Facebook Is Now An Aging Growth Story

Uber (UBER)
Uber continues to look strong post earnings and has crossed $40.60, with the next resistance level around $42.50.

Amazon (AMZN) 

Amazon rose above 2,134 today, and now that level will become support, and sure enough, it held. I have been putting it off, but now I seriously have to sit down and figure out was this stock is going.

Intel (INTC)

I noted some bullish betting in Intel today in this free article I wrote up; it seems like the same buyers I saw last week. If the stock can clear resistance at $69, it could push higher towards $71.40.
