During earnings season, it is especially important to have key support and resistance levels in mind for individual stocks. These levels can be helpful in determining the risk/reward profile for a stock after earnings-driven volatility, therein allowing investors to make a well-informed decision. Boeing (BA) is an example of a stock that looks compelling from a risk/reward standpoint following a negative response to earnings. Last Thursday, the stock came into a confluence of support in the $199-$200 area, defined by the 200-day moving average (MA) and a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. The close proximity of support suggests downside risk is…

Nvidia was once again on the move after the world’s three biggest cloud companies, along with Meta Platforms , guided spending higher last week to keep pace in the artificial intelligence arms race. Some, if not much, of that spend should continue to fill the coffers of the Jensen Huang-run AI chip king. Club stock Nvidia on Monday soared another 4% to another all-time high — around $5.12 trillion in market value. In the run-up to next week’s earnings, we would expect to see more analysts raise their quarterly estimates and price targets on Nvidia. The stock closed above $5…
