GME psar bull signal

The video game retailer GameStop Corp. (GME) is showing a credible psar bull signal amid reports that the company might be taken over.

The stock has traversed 7.2% today, low to high, and is trading at about $19.17, a resistance level.

The adx stands at 36, but has been declining since March 2. The sto today moved into overbought territory. The macd is in its fourth trading day in bull mode.


Earnings is on March 18, one day before the March options have their final day of trading. So this is a very speculative, short-term trade.

You are here:
  • Resistance
    • $24.10, 25.7%
    • $20.90, 9%
    • $19.50, 1.7%
  • Now $19.17
  • Support
    • $18.85, -1.7%
    • $18.27, -4.7%
    • $17.12, -10.7%

I would trade it as either a bull call spread (40 cent debit), short the $19 strike and long the $20, which benefits from time decay. The breakeven is $19.40, maximum profit is 60 cents and max loss is the 40 cent premium.
