Finding the next Target

Trading Retrospectives: A Lesson from Target ($TGT) ​ Trading Retrospectives: A Lesson from Target ($TGT) ​ It was roughly five years ago when Target hit a multi-year low following a wave of public controversy and inventory challenges. The setup was a classic value play—a fundamentally sound company oversold on temporary bad news, bound for an eventual rebound that would push it back toward a 52-week high. ​ Looking back at how that turnaround played out, we can analyze the structural high-velocity moves that took place, how to write technical formulas to systematically catch similar setups, and how to execute the trade with a Zero Lag Exponential Moving Average (ZLEMA) and an ATR trailing stop loss. ​ Part 1: The High-Velocity Acceleration Legs Target's rebound from its bottom in the $88 region up to its 52-week highs near $160 produced several distinct momentum windows: ​ 1.

August Hot List

High Probability High-Return Breakout Opportunities – Week of August 17, 2026 High Probability / High-Velocity Breakout Setups – Trading Week Ahead (Aug 17–21, 2026) Market context (as of weekend Aug 16, 2026): U.S. equities finished the prior week mixed-to-higher near record levels (S&P 500 ~7,786, Nasdaq Composite ~26,729, Nasdaq 100 above 30,000). Strong earnings momentum, softer inflation, and AI/tech leadership supported the advance, partially offset by consumer softness and geopolitical/oil noise. The path of least resistance remains slightly bullish with possible healthy consolidation. Key catalysts this week include Fed minutes (Wednesday), housing/industrial data, and retail earnings (Home Depot Tuesday, Target/Walmart later in the week). Focus: High-velocity trades with defined risk (clear support for stops), technical structure (consolidation near highs or bases), volume potential, and sector tailwinds (AI infrastructure, memory, selective energy). These ar...
