August 17th Swing Watch List

$WAC – Long entry is over 3.73, stop 3.43. Target is 4.15.

$ZBRA – On reversal watch for a short off the 70.00 resistance spot. Do or die if it breaks down under this level. Moving up 50% in the last month and a half, this thing hasn’t slowed. If we get a tap and fail of the 70 area, I want to ride this short using the Nov70/65 bear put spread. This low IV setup could really take off for us.
