RYAAY Ryanair 2nd Price Target Hit 15% Profit

rsotc — Mon, 04 May 2026 16:57:18 +0000

The RYAAY (Ryanair Holdings) recently hit the second price target (T2) for a 15% profit, then lost that support, backtested it from below for about a week (support, once broken, becomes resistance) & is resuming the downtrend towards the next potential targets. Previous charts (initial entry & T1 being hit) as well as the updated daily charts below.

Note: Since I didn’t officially make the potential 3rd & 4th targets ‘official’ targets before T2 (the initial final target) was hit, I’m going to move RYAAY to the Completed Trades archives. However, I do think the stock has a decent chance of continuing down to at least T3. Those still short might consider lowering stops to protect profits at this time.

QQQ At Resistance, Near-term Price Targets 4-16-26

rsotc — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:36:06 +0000

QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is currently trading at the top of its 7-month+ trading range (resistance) with the potential to put in a triple-top, should it reverse on or around current levels. The Q’s have negative divergence between QQQ & the PPO on this 60-minute chart, while at my 80 “extreme” overbought reading on the RSI, last seen at the key Oct 28th top. Sell signals to come on a break and/or 60-minute closes below these uptrend lines near-term uptrend line.

/NQ QQQ & /CL USO Trade Ideas 4-14-26

rsotc — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:16:50 +0000

/CL (crude futures) a hair below the uptrend line but close enough to the 91.50ish support to offer an objective level to cover short and/or go long for a bounce, as USO has currently fallen to its comparable 60m uptrend line & the 124ish target/support.

CL 60m April 14th

Likewise, USO (crude ETN) offers an objective level to reverse from short to long for one last hurrah off the intersecting downtrend line & 123/124 support (T1). 60-minute chart below.

USO 60m April 14th

Additionally, with a bounce in crude likely,/NQ (Nasdaq 100 futures or /MNQ, QQQ, SQQQ, etc) offers an objective short entry here for a pullback to these two support levels (uptrend lines) the potential for additional targets, should the primary (lower) uptrend line get clearly taken out. 60-minute chart below.

NQ 60m April 14th

Also worth noting, for those that took it, is that IGV (software ETF) has currently run into the downtrend line (resistance), where the odds for a reaction are elevated, while a solid & sustained breakout, reaction first or not, would increase the odds of the next target being hit. I also added a new price target around 83.50 to the updated daily chart below. Previous (April 10th) & updated daily charts below.

/CL USO Crude Short Trade Idea 4-9-26

rsotc — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 14:49:38 +0000

Attempting to continue threading the needle on crude oil: /CL (crude futures or /QM MINY futures, /MCL micro futures, USO +1x, SCO -2x, etc.) offers an objective entry here at the 102 resistance and/or on a break below the minor uptrend line just below with tight stops around 104-105 or depending on one’s preferred price target. Previous (Tuesday evening), which I last posted closing short & reversed to long here at the 91.51 support on the TACO dump, followed by the updated 60-minute chart below.

/NQ Nasdaq Futures Price Target Hit, Objective Reversal Point

rsotc — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 22:31:55 +0000

/NQ (Nasdaq 100 futures) has just hit my bounce target (the primary downtrend line off the all-time highs & just shy of 25kish resistance level) posted last Thursday at the lows, with an essentially perfect entry as with the previous short trade posted just before that. As such, this offers an objective level to close out any longs and or reverse back to short on this test of the downtrend line (resistance) from below, as well as negative divergences on this 60-minute time frame. Stops should be commensurate with one’s average entry price & price target(s). The two previously posted (April 1st & April 2nd), followed by the updated 60-minute chart below.

Ditto for QQQ or any of the inverse or leveraged variations for ETF traders (as well as the smaller /MNQ Micro contract for futures traders, which trades off the same price levels as my /NQ charts, only using a smaller multiplier/leverage factor).

/NQ & /ES Rising Wedge Breakdowns 4-7-26

rsotc — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:49:04 +0000

/NQ (Nasdaq 100 futures) & /ES (S&P 500 futures) both went on to breakdown, backtest, & followed by a rejection of the 10-minute rising wedge patterns posted late yesterday. Those previous (yesterday’s) charts, followed by the updated 10-minute charts, along with a couple of adjustments to some of the nearby support & resistance levels.

NQ 10m April 6th

NQ 10m April 7th

ES 10m April 6th

ES 10m April 7th

I still think a short on crude oil (/CL, /QM, /MCL, USO, SCO, etc.) can serve as an indirect hedge to a short on the stock index futures or ETFs, making the proper beta-adjustment between the two (crude tends to move up & down more, so a smaller short on crude vs. the index short).

Should the inverse correlation between the two continue, then it is roughly a wash (i.e., a roughly equal hedge). However, I think there is a decent chance that sooner than later, we will start to see crude prices pull back, but remain at levels that are restrictive to economic growth, thereby resulting in weakness in equities.
