Home Depot Swing Trade – Buy Setup 5.14.19
New Home Depot Swing Trade Setup
After a solid decline that's in sync with the rest of the stock market, HD has lined up for a new swing trade long.
The $190 level held as resistance until buyers could push higher. For the current pull-back the stock price has settled in at this level, which happens to also be the 200 simple moving average support!
Double reference points are a good sign to feel confident in your idea. To add even more juice to the trade the SPY ETF also found previous support at $280. So both the stock and the SPY ETF held the bid and have solid profit potential for this swing trade setup.
I'm game planning a profit target @ $198.50 with a stop loss on a close below $189.
