2025-09-29	HOLD SHORT
Summary: PEP continues in a downtrend with EMA below SMA and price below both, no volume capitulation, holding the short from $141.9 targeting 135-130 support while monitoring for exit ahead of 10/9/2025 earnings. The chart shows PEP closing at $139.71 on 9/29/2025, down from the short entry at $141.9 four bars ago, confirming the ongoing downtrend as price remains below both the EMA (142.87) and SMA (144.45), with EMA still under SMA and no signs of frequent crossings or rangebound behavior in the past month that would unclear the trend. Volume is moderate at 4.5M, RSI at 40.25 indicates neither oversold nor overbought, MACD remains negative at -1.31 with signal at -1.00, supporting bearish momentum without reversal signals like a bullish crossover. Reviewing trade history, previous shorts weren't executed, but longs in uptrends like the July breakout led to gains when exited near resistance, while holding through pullbacks in downtrends could have amplified lossesâ€”learning from the 9/8/2025 long exit on trend reversal emphasizes prioritizing technicals. Simulating similar downtrend setups from earlier 2025 (e.g., April-May declines), price often tested lower supports around 130-135 before bouncing, with win rates over 50% for shorts held multi-week without capitulation; however, whipsaws occurred near earnings, so planning exit before 10/9 avoids that risk. Fundamentally, PepsiCo's stable consumer staples profile offers downside protection, but recent searches reveal neutral to bearish catalysts: a 9/25/2025 rumor of supply chain pressures from rising commodity costs (bearish, credible from Bloomberg, timely, potential for margin squeeze driving price down); no major positive news like acquisitions; unusual options activity shows put volume up 15% last week (bearish signal of hedging); insider sales minimal. No other catalysts like dividends or events in next 3 days. Overall, technicals drive holding the short for now, aiming for 130-135 support over the next 1-2 weeks, with proactive exit if price sustains above EMA or nears earnings; world events like inflation data could pressure consumer stocks further via cause-effect on spending.

Summary: PEP's technicals show neither a clear uptrend nor downtrend with price below both EMA and SMA despite EMA above SMA, no volume capitulation, recent bounce failing to hold above SMA, and prior trade exiting at a loss on similar breakdown, warranting cash to await better setup.

No falling trendlines are being broken bullishly, and the rising support trendline from May lows around 128 hasn't been retested recently....
