1) $JMP just announced earnings AMC, Thu, 18 Feb 21
Before getting started, note this is very thinly traded, and yet yesterday, before earnings announced post-market, it traded 32 x its normal avg volume. So, today, I think we're going to see some madness in this name.
2) In a normal setting, yesterday's candlestick, called a "hanging man" would suggest the next day would be down. However, as always, an Earnings report can change everything on a dime. So, today, I'll follow to see how this all pans out and see if volume goes 100x. My bet? UP.

1) $PTON has turned bearish. A few days ago I was agnostic; now, were I trading this, I would have gone short this name two days ago. Extended trendline (thin line) shows busted horizontal and trendline support & trading under 50 day moving average.
2) Now that's just the chart look. The insider sales for $PTON since just last December (and especially in the past 10 days) tell you a story, and it is not bullish. Every time an insider vests options, they turn around and sell their shares. I don't see bullish buys here:
3) Be aware of product delays (chip shortages are real), and Buy Now Pay Later - although that is off-loaded to the firm Affirm (IIRC). Then, insider sales, and competition. $NLS and $LULU are not asleep during this exercise from home quarantine.

1) Bulls vs. Bears Thread: A very bullish look: "The fact these extreme breadth readings keep pouring in as the rally progresses suggests we continue to be in a healthy market that is being driven by broadening participation." allstarcharts.com/february-confe…
2) "Most importantly, this is strong evidence that we are most likely at the beginning of a new bull market, not the end of an old one."
3) From the same link: "Speaking of this whole global growth and reflationary thesis we see playing out, here’s another development to add to the above list… New record highs for Emerging Markets $EEM." (Chart from All-Star Charts piece linked above.)
