CRWD VWAP bounce earnings coming LONGCRWD reports on March 4th in the meanwhile in it is shown here on a 15 minute chart with
a Bollinger Band overlay. Price has trended from the upper bands down through the middle line
into the lower inner and outer bands where a reversal took place at the level of the mean
anchored VWAP band where the price fall was rejected with good support and wick touches
on the lower time frames. I see this as a set up for a new trend up in the run to earnings.
I will take a long trade of shares and call options. My easy target is the upper BB
bands but expect more than that in the upcoming week.

Negative Divergence; targe 200 SMA <$250 (20% correction)We've been forming a negative divergence on the daily for 2-3 months now.
CRWD has been red hot.
Margins are barely positive over the last few quarters (after a long-time being negative). But CRWD is still a $72 billion company trading at 24x revenue.
Now is the time to do the mature thing and to take some profits.
I'd suggest looking at the 200 SMA for re-entry (around $230-250 as a guess).
Bullish Setup on CRWD for ATHsKey Takeaways:
+Consistently making higher lows (5 times) and squeezing into triangle on flat supply zone for ATH breakout
+Trending above 20d SMA and 20d SMA > 50d SMA > 200d SMA
+After running up from 260 in early Jan we've found a horizontal supply zone at 308 which we should squeeze into should we continue making higher lows
+Breaking 308 will send us to ATHs and I would expect a ~$15 move topside with breakout for 2 reasons:
1)After 1st 308 rejection we retraced about $15 into 290 area and I'm treating this as the 'consolidation zone' (like triangles and other price patterns)
2)Since forming the uptrend, we've moved up $40 and a 1.382 fib extension of the uptrend lands us at that $15 move as well
Keep an eye on this ticker with a 308 breakout into ATHs!
$CRWD - Could be close to a pull backNASDAQ:CRWD CrowdStrike, looks overextended and could be close to a pullback. RSI and MACD are showing bearish divergence.
It may reach $307 before staging a pullback.
I might consider placing a bearish bet around $307.
There is a risk that it could run to $318. Still, risk-reward favors the downside.
Downside targets:
$272
$259
Risk:
$318

Please see the chart for more details but essentially, we have a nice bullish consolidation pattern here and within the pattern on supply and demand retests we are already seeing buyers showing relative strength vs sellers which bodes well for a breakout and a strong potential move topside.
Antares Data: CRDW Buyer Momentum SlowdownAntares Data Lab on CRWD
2024 will continue to be the year for companies to invest in their cybersecurity, with CrowdStrike leading the market in this industry. Following a rise since the low on October 27, CRWD experienced upward momentum until the earnings announcement. A week of consolidation provided buyers with a chance to catch their breath and gather strength for another push higher, buoyed by a strong earnings report. However, the current market appears to be excessively extended, and bullish investors are starting to feel the pressure from the sell side.
The first alert was generated today: Sell.
1st Target: 230.59 - Probability: 40%
2nd Target: 215.88 - Probability: 27%
3rd Target: 207.36 - Probability: > 10%
This sell signal suggests a potential pullback. Achieving any of the targets may recapture the attention of bullish investors
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) Leaps After Solid Q3 EarningsCybersecurity group CrowdStrike says its on target to reach $10 billion in annual recurring revenues over the next five to seven years.
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) - shares jumped higher in early Wednesday trading after the cybersecurity group posted better-than-expected third quarter earnings paired with a solid-near term sales outlook.
CrowdStrike said current quarter revenues would likely range between $836.6 million to $840 million, nudging just ahead of Street forecasts, with annual recurring revenue (ARR), a key performance metric for tech services companies, pegged at $3.15 billion.
Investors were also impressed with the group's potential to grow revenues from small and medium-sized business through new product launches on Amazon (AMZN).
For the three months ending in October, CrowdStrike posted adjusted earnings of 82 cents per share, topping Street forecasts by around 8 cents, on revenues of $786 million, a tally the came in just ahead of estimates. Annual recurring revenue rose 13% from last year to a record $223 million.
CrowdStrike share were marked 6.8% higher in today's trading to change hands at $226.80 each, a move that would extend the stock's six-month gain to around 44% and value the Austin, Texas-based company at around $54.1 billion.
CRWD - US cybersecurity play If this market will find traction and have a follow-through day, I will bet on CRWD being one of the next up-cycle leaders.
IBD 94 Relative strength and 99 Composite and EPS ratings are markers of a superb company. The industry group is 35 out of 197. High double and triple quarter earnings growth and stable 40+ sales growth for 3 qrts in a row; with stable 35+ ROE; Up/Down volume of 1.5; double digits analyst estimates of 24/25 EPS growth and increasing number of institution last qrt... all these make me call this stock a perspective leader.
From the technical perspective, notice how well the stock price holds and builds the high-handle close to 2023 highs, while general index (line above) is in a downward momentum being almost 10% of the highs. Unfilled gap-up on 31Aug (green circle) is also a sign of strength to me.
I want the price to subside more in volatility to the right side of the handle, creating a tight 3-4% risk pivot and maybe an inside day before breaking out above 172 pivot. That would signal and ideal entry point for my strategy with very tight risk. Although if price decides not to wait and will proceed with definite move above 172 pivot with supportive volume and will be hesitant to buy/add to the position, expecting the price to move to next resistance 194-206 target area.
Trading thesis is wrong if price moves bellow: 157 area

CRWD - Ready to bounce?CRWD - Ready to bounce?
Despite the steep decline in the general market that started in mid July, CRWD was actually trending higher, showing good relative strength. In fact,it is still trading above its 50 day MA while both SPX and NQ is now well below this MA.
There are a few signs that CRWD could be ready to bounce from it's recent correction that started on 19th Oct:
1. Bullish divergence between price and RSI on its daily chart
2. An Inside bar last Friday that could signal the near term correction could be ending
I will long as soon as it crosses above last Friday's candle (inside bar) high @ 175.70 with an initial stop loss about $1 below its recent low @ $170.
Disclaimer:
This is just my own analysis and opinion for discussion and is NOT a trade advice. Kindly do your own due diligence and trade according to your own risk tolerance and don't forget that money management (ie trailing stop loss and position sizing) is (probably the most) important!
Take care and Good Luck!
CrowdStrike Pulls BackCrowdStrike has been making new 52-week highs as the broader market languishes. Now after a quick pullback, some traders may look for the cybersecurity stock to continue higher.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish gap on August 31 after results and guidance beat estimates. A series of higher highs and higher lows followed, which may suggest a new uptrend is taking shape.
Second, the stock could now be trying to bounce slightly above the September 11 high. Is old resistance becoming new support?
Third, the lower study includes our 2 MA Ratio custom script with the default settings of the 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). It’s been positive since early last month, meaning the fast EMA has remained above the slower EMA. That could also reflect prices climbing in the short term.
