LLY Daily: Navigating Key Levels - Two Strategic Opportunities

168
OVERVIEW:
LLY has recently undergone a significant correction from its highs, finding strong demand at a crucial support zone. Price action now presents two distinct, high-probability long entry scenarios based on the stock's interaction with key horizontal levels. My analysis outlines potential entry points, clear targets, and risk management.

KEY OBSERVATIONS & MARKET STRUCTURE:
Major Demand Zone Established:
Following a notable pullback in early May, LLY found substantial buying interest within the lower green horizontal zone (approximately $680 - $710). This area has acted as a robust "Support Trade" zone, preventing further downside and initiating a corrective bounce.

Corrective Rally & Intermediate Resistance:
From this strong support, LLY mounted a decent rally, completing a clear W-formation or basing pattern (highlighted by the orange and blue zig-zag lines).
Price is currently interacting with an intermediate resistance level / supply zone (the upper grey/light green horizontal zone around $755 - $775). This level represents a critical point of contention between buyers and sellers.

Two Strategic Entry Scenarios:
The current market context offers two distinct long entry approaches, each with its own risk/reward profile:

Scenario 1: Breakout Trade (Orange Ellipse / "1st Entry Above 775")
A. Condition: This strategy focuses on a decisive breakout and sustained close above the current intermediate resistance level (approx. $775). A strong daily candle closing above this zone would confirm bullish momentum.
B. Entry: Look for price action to confirm the breakout, potentially on a retest of the broken resistance now acting as support (as indicated by the orange arrow and ellipse). An entry above $775 is targeted here.
C. Risk Management: A stop-loss should be placed just below the breakout level and the recent swing low, ideally around $745.33 (bottom of the red box).

Scenario 2: Support Trade (Blue Ellipse / "2nd Entry 710")
A. Condition: This strategy anticipates a potential rejection from the current intermediate resistance, leading to a pullback to the primary demand zone (approx. $710).
B. Entry: Look for strong bullish reversal signals (e.g., bullish engulfing candle, hammer, demand zone rejection) if price retraces to the lower demand zone around $710 (indicated by the blue arrow and ellipse). This offers a potentially lower risk entry with a better risk-to-reward ratio for the same targets.
C. Risk Management: A stop-loss would be positioned just below the main support zone, around $675.70 (bottom of the larger red box).
POTENTIAL TARGETS:
Regardless of the entry scenario, our upside targets remain consistent based on prior price structure and supply zones:
• 1st Target: $860 (Green Zone): This is a significant resistance level from earlier price action, representing the first major hurdle for buyers.
• 2nd Target: $920 (Upper Green Zone): This represents the ultimate upside target, aligning with the previous all-time highs and a major supply zone.
INVALIDATION:
• For "Breakout Trade" (1st Entry): A sustained daily close below $745.33 would invalidate this specific trade idea.
• For "Support Trade" (2nd Entry): A sustained daily close below $675.70 would invalidate the entire bullish bias derived from the primary demand zone and suggest further downside is likely.

CONCLUSION:
LLY is presenting clear technical setups after finding substantial support. Traders can opt for an aggressive Breakout Trade if momentum sustains through intermediate resistance, or a more conservative Support Trade if price retraces to the established demand zone. Both strategies aim for significant upside potential towards $860 and $920, with clearly defined risk management levels.
