Latest OHLCV bar seen: 2026-08-21 03:55 PM EDT (5M regular-session source) Latest price uses the newest downloaded bar for proximity; the Alpaca feed is 15-min delayed, so it trails the live tape by ~15-20 min.

How far price is from the zone, in percent, dollars, and multiples of daily ATR. The ATR multiple is the most useful -- under ~0.3x the zone is right here; a large multiple means price has to travel a lot of a typical day just to arrive.

📈 Demand Zone Test $957.61 (Bullish): I'll be observing for a test & bounce at the 4H demand zone identified at $946.81–$957.61. If we HOLD ABOVE this demand zone, the open price, 9EMA, and we see a bullish candlestick pattern, this would be a good opportunity to go long, anticipating a move upwards towards the 4H supply zone identified at $1,074.46, holding above the 9EMA.
Daily trend: MU is in a bullish daily trend (Bullish HH/HL), trading above its 20-day average and below its 50-day average.
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 1 is 1.98x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $5.59 to reach the zone, $10.80 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $116.85 runway to the target -- 10.8:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $116.85 to $1,074.46 -- a long 10.8:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.

Earnings / IV crush
IV CRUSH RISK — 2026-08-26 (4d)
The 5-DTE day expiry (2026-08-28) holds THROUGH the 2026-08-26 report -- you would pay the earnings IV premium (measured ~+40 IV points on comparable names) and give it back as crush. No weekly expiry lands before the report, so any contract here holds through it.

□ bearish continuation/DBD
□ downside volume response
□ market context weakening
📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $260.85 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 1D supply zone at $260.85–$266.51 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $229.31, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: AMZN is in a bearish daily trend (Bearish LH/LL), trading below its 20-day average and above its 50-day average.
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 1 is 4.74x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $1.26 to reach the zone, $5.66 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $31.54 runway to the target -- 5.6:1. Below the validated reversal profile: the zone is thin relative to the target (5.6x -- a bounce wants a thick base, not a big runway); the approach is sideways, not the grinding pace that preceded the holds that worked.

Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 1 is 1.88x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Trade geometry: $14.98 approach to the trigger, $1.11 zone thickness (the stop), $3.37 runway to the next zone -- 3.0:1 at the trigger, 1.88x daily ATR total. Not textbook geometry: the approach alone burns 1.54x daily ATR before entry; the full move is 1.88x daily ATR -- more than a typical day delivers.

📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $716.13 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 4H supply zone at $716.13–$719.70 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $700.38, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: QQQ is in a bullish daily trend (Bullish HH/HL), trading above its 20-day average and above its 50-day average.
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 2 is 1.88x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $1.88 to reach the zone, $3.57 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $15.75 runway to the target -- 4.4:1. Below the validated reversal profile: the zone is thin relative to the target (4.4x -- a bounce wants a thick base, not a big runway); the approach is sideways, not the grinding pace that preceded the holds that worked.

day 2026-08-28 (6 DTE) | swing 2026-09-04 (13 DTE)
Standardized targets (5 DTE day / 14 DTE swing), snapped to the expiries this name actually lists -- Friday-only names may land further from target than the large caps.
Earnings / IV crush
2026-11-03 (73d) — clear
Both your day expiry (2026-08-28) and swing expiry (2026-09-04) land before the 2026-11-03 report, so neither pays the earnings IV premium.
Volume / movement context
absorption possible approaching demand grinding • no meaningful gap
Is volume confirming the move? "volume expansion with direction" backtested best (+0.16 avg R); "absorption possible" was negative (-0.04) -- the move is being faded. This is the part of movement context that actually carries an edge.

📈 Demand Zone Test $188.98 (Bullish): I'll be observing for a test & bounce at the 90m demand zone identified at $187.95–$188.98. If we HOLD ABOVE this demand zone, the open price, 9EMA, and we see a bullish candlestick pattern, this would be a good opportunity to go long, anticipating a move upwards towards the 1D supply zone identified at $192.64, holding above the 9EMA.
Daily trend: ANET is in a range-bound/mixed daily trend (Mixed / Transition), trading above its 20-day average and above its 50-day average.
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 3 is 1.81x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $0.10 to reach the zone, $1.03 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $3.66 runway to the target -- 3.5:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $3.66 to $192.64 -- a long 3.5:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.
$18.99 as of 2026-08-21 07:55 PM EDT — Aftermarket. Alpaca feed is 15-min delayed, so this trails the live tape by ~15-20 min; treat it as approximate for proximity, confirm the live number in your broker.
Distance to zone
4.69% • $0.89 • 1.21× ATR
How far price is from the zone, in percent, dollars, and multiples of daily ATR. The ATR multiple is the most useful -- under ~0.3x the zone is right here; a large multiple means price has to travel a lot of a typical day just to arrive.

Puts confirmation checklist
□ supply test
□ rejection candle
□ lose/hold below 9EMA and VWAP
□ bearish continuation/DBD
□ downside volume response
□ market context weakening
📉 Supply Zone Rejection @ $19.88 (Bearish): If price tests & holds below the 2H supply zone at $19.88–$20.13 and rejects it while staying below the 9EMA, VWAP, and the open price, I'll monitor for lower lows forming on the 5-minute chart. If volume supports the downside move, that confirms bearish pressure. With all confirmations in place, I'll look to enter a put position targeting the demand zone below at $17.91, holding the trade as long as price stays below the 9EMA.
Daily trend: SOFI is in a range-bound/mixed daily trend (Mixed / Transition), trading above its 20-day average and above its 50-day average.
Trade shape: Swing-shaped: target 2 is 2.12x daily ATR away with elevated volume support -- more likely to need multiple days than one. Reversal geometry: $0.89 to reach the zone, $0.25 zone thickness (the base you're standing on; stop beyond its far side), $1.97 runway to the target -- 7.9:1. Expected move: a sharp rejection off the zone running the full $1.97 to $17.91 -- a long 7.9:1. Bigger reward, but this 1:3 avenue was ~breakeven in backtest, so it needs the bounce to really extend, not just tag the zone.
