Danielle is Looking for a Short Squeeze 2/25/2019
Entering regular pullback buys on swing trades is unlikely after a gap up. Instead, I’m looking at high short interest setups for breaks to new highs and watching for potential catalysts — earnings reports. The goal is for the binary event to cause a breakaway gap, like what we saw last week in W and TTD. The tickers I am watching this week’s earnings are MEDP and FRPT, and I also like AJRD for a regular swing trade. For MEDP and FRPT, I will most likely trade the report itself to the long side and then look for a momentum play after the fact — IF the catalyst of the report pushes it higher. On AJRD, I like a deeper pullback but here is a good place to start.
