π§΅π¨ As requested, a thread on my outlook and thoughts on $AMD - Based on my TA and added support from @unusual_whales flow π
It's been a wild ride for the semiconductors lately so let's jump right into it.
(1/19) First and foremost I want to provide you guys with the current levels I have on my chart for $AMD. I attached a screenshot below of the 1h chart.
(2/19) Key Levels to the upside - From where we closed today.
121.22
123.46
127.33
Downside:
117.66
114.00
111.55
109.82
(3/19) Here is another view of my 4h and 30m $AMD chart to put things into perspective
(4/19) A common theme that I like to see on every ticker/chart is the idea of a previous support level turning to new resistance and a previous resistance level turning to the new support. I will say, with the current levels I've identified, $AMD is following this "idea".
(5/19) To get a better understanding of the chart, levels, price action, etc. Let's jump back a few weeks ago to March 16th
(6/19)On March 16th we gapped up over $2 to 111.60.
Later that day during the afternoon session $AMD knifed and found support at the bottom of the gap, 109.82, (basically filling it) then bounced to new highs in power hour closing at 115.37
(7/19) I was intrigued to see that the next day we came down to test that 109.82 level and held very nicely indicating to me that the bottom of that gap is a strong support level.
(8/19) 114 Level
Volume shelf - This basically tells me that most of the volume occurred at this level. Tends to act as support/resistance
(9/19) This is a 15m chart from last week showing the price action at and around 114.
(10/19) While bouncing off the 114 level we also rejected 117.66 three days in a row. On the 24th after finally breaking this resistance level, we see it turn to new support before ripping into new highs on the 25th
(11/19) Demand Zone - Lets call it a demand zone from 117.70 - 116.70.
I'm keeping this area on the chart in mind especially due to the downtrend we saw today starting at around 1pm
(12/19) Today after breaking through 121.22 support, I was triggered to add the 117p which was my next level to the downside.
This was a really solid trade being that once we broke through 121.22 it was a freefall into the close before finding intraday support at around 118.60
(13/19) I also want to note I had a supply zone charted on AMD from 123.20 - 125 which we briefly broke through this morning before knifing into close.
(14/19) So what now?
Personally, I am targeting the 117.60 level to the downside. If we get there (unless we gap down below o/n) I would expect a small bounce around that demand zone. 117.70 - 116.70
(15/19) AMD breaks through 117.60 to the downside I think we see 114 very quickly. Break below 114, 111.53 is my target.
To the upside: 121.22, 123.45, 126. Over 126 is a clear breakout sign to me setting up a 130 test.
(16/19) UW analysis π
Hot Chains & Tickers
$AMD - 6th largest call volume, 9th largest put volume
$AMD targeted strikes:
Bullish & Bearish: 110 (30k min premium)

In honor of the New Year commencing, here is a tweet of my favorite threads I posted in 2022. Everything from options basics to charting & candlesticks to @unusual_whales flow, and much more. I hope this helps benefit your 2023 trading!
Although candlestick patterns don't tell the whole story, they can be a great tool to identify short-long term reversals in price action. Knowledge is power! Let's get into it.
π
Here are a few of the basic candlesticks patterns everyone should be familiar with & will go further in-depth in this thread.
A+ Setups
An A+ setup to me might be different than what an A+ setup is to you. I like to have 3-4 pieces of conviction to deem something as A+. Examples include:
- Candlestick Patterns
- Charting Patterns
- Supply/Demand Breaks
- Gap Fill Strat/Peaky Strat/Golden Goose etc.
Building a broad watchlist of stocks that I'm interested in trading is a critical part of my preperation for the day. Here's a thread on how I create my watchlist.
π
A watchlist is a small to medium list of stocks that align with your guidelines for solid trading setups.
Before the market opens I like to have at least 2-3 tickers with potential setups I will be watching throughout the day.
Pretty simple analysis in my eyes. Going to break it down with a few charts across a few different timeframes.
π
Head & Shoulders - Daily Time Frame
Once the 100-102 neckline was broken it was game over. Also, very nice BHG setup on the retest of that neckline November 15th
Rounding Top into Head & Shoulders - Weekly Time Frame
Could've seen this move coming hence the rounding top posted on the weekly time frame. Once the 144 neckline was broken it was a clear move to 100 measured move count.
H&S Peak formed at the previous rounding top neckline
Before placing a trade I always have ideas about my sizing, entries/exits, stop levels & more. By formulating a risk management plan I decrease my risk of losing unnecessary amounts of capital and increase my chances of profitability.
π
Risk = the chance that an investment's actual gains will differ from an expected outcome or return.
I like to look at risk as the amount of money you could lose on a trade. If you predetermine how much you are willing to lose, you are able to measure what "loss" means to you.
Determining a Stop Loss:
1. Max pain per trade (Dollar Figure) 2. Key level/area on the chart
Here's a thread on critical trading tactic that I take very seriously. Without consistent uniform sizing, I have noticed, successful trading becomes harder. It's important to come up with a position sizing plan that works for you.
π
Position sizing refers to the guide that dictates how much working capital you allocate on a single trade.
Key components to consider:
- Risk Tolerance
- Account Size
- Type of Trade
- Trading Goals
Risk Per Trade:
Everyone is different. Everyone's goals are different. The first question I like to ask myself is how much money am I willing to risk per trade.
I usually choose one or two options: 1. Fixed Amount 2. Percentage of Portfolio
