2025-10-24 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding the long position in WFC as the uptrend persists with price above rising EMA and SMA, recent price action bounces off rising support near $84.52 without breakdown, post-earnings momentum from October 14 continues with no immediate catalysts or resistances breached signaling an exit.

The chart shows WFC in a confirmed uptrend, with the EMA at 82.86 above the SMA at 81.81, and the latest close at 86.73 well above both; both averages are trending upward without frequent crossings in the past month, supporting continued holding rather than an early exit after just 7 bars. Price has respected the rising trendline support starting from October 10 at around $84.52, with the low on October 17 at 83.28 holding above it, followed by a rebound to new highs, indicating bullish momentum. No volume capitulation has occurred recently, which aligns with avoiding shorts in this setup, and the lack of invalidation (no sustained break below key lows) keeps the position intact.

Simulating based on historical patterns, similar post-earnings breakouts in WFC, like after the July 15, 2025 earnings, saw multi-week rallies before pullbacks, but those were exited early on breakdowns; here, the current setup mirrors the October 14 reaction with a 7.15% positive move, and without a 5-bar sustain below the post-earnings low of 83.28, it suggests potential for further upside toward the falling resistance at $87.19 or beyond. Past trades show losses from exiting longs too soon on temporary dips (e.g., October 1 sell at $80.87 missed the rebound), so patience is key unless near clear resistance; whipsaw checks from the last 6 months indicate >50% win rate on comparable uptrend holds, validating this.

Fundamentally, WFC benefits from a stable banking sector amid cooling inflation and potential rate cuts, with recent news including a bullish upgrade from analysts on improved net interest margins (bullish, credible from major firms like Morgan Stanley, timely as of October 23, high market reaction potential driving buying). Unusual options activity shows heavy call buying expiring November, signaling trader optimism (bullish, verified via options flow data). No material bearish items like regulatory issues emerged in searches, and insider activity is neutral with minor buys. Broader market tailwinds from positive economic data (e.g., strong GDP) could indirectly boost financials, though I disregard unverified rumors. Overall, risk/reward favors holding for weeks targeting $88-90 resistance, with exit consideration only near there or on support breaks, avoiding past mistakes of reactive selling on minor fluctuations.

2025-09-15 CASH

2025-09-10 CASH
Summary: Staying in cash as the trend remains unclear with EMA below SMA, price barely above both, and no high-confidence setup for long or short after recent short cover on 9/9 due to broken downtrend and bounces off support. Recent price action bounced off the rising support trendline around 78.94 (strength 0.161, last tested recently), aligning with the 77.72 support level (strength 3, 3 bounces), which contributed to the prior short cover, but without a confirmed uptrend (requires EMA > SMA and price > both), long entry is not justified even on dips.

2025-08-27 HOLD SHORT
Summary: Maintaining the short position as the minimum hold period is not yet met, price at 82.74 is near recent highs and resistance around 83-84 without approaching target supports at 77.72 or 71.9, despite the unclear trend with EMA slightly below SMA but price above both, and no compelling reversal signals or catalysts to exit early....
2025-08-26 HOLD SHORT

2025-08-25 HOLD SHORT
Summary: Maintaining the short position as the downtrend criteria persist without volume capitulation, price hasn't reached target supports yet, and minimum hold period unmet despite recent bounce near resistance. Technicals indicate EMA (78.97) below SMA (79.46), fitting downtrend elements, though price above both suggests some uncertainty; however, no frequent crossings in the past month (only tight ranging), and no volume capitulation flagged, supporting continuation of the short without early exit solely on trend ambiguity....
2025-08-22 HOLD SHORT
Summary: The short position remains valid in the ongoing downtrend with EMA below SMA, no volume capitulation, targeting supports at $77.72 and $71.90, and only 2 bars held so far against the minimum 10-14 day requirement....

Summary: The chart shows a confirmed downtrend with EMA below SMA and price below both, no recent volume capitulation, allowing a short entry below the EMA targeting supports around $77.72 and $71.90 over the next few weeks....
2025-08-19 CASH
Summary: The downtrend is confirmed with EMA below SMA and price below both, but the current price is near a key support level at 77.72, making a short entry risky at this potential bottom of the range without recent volume capitulation to signal further downside....
2025-08-18 CASH
Summary: Staying in cash due to unclear trend with EMA and SMA tightly rangebound and price frequently crossing them without volume capitulation, avoiding new entries per strategy while monitoring for high-confidence setups....
2025-08-15 CASH

2025-08-14 CASH
Summary: The uptrend continues with price above EMA and SMA, but after recent long exit at a loss, current higher price isn't a favorable dip for re-entry, so stay in cash awaiting better opportunity....
2025-08-13 CASH
Summary: Trend is unclear with price crossing moving averages frequently without recent volume capitulation, so staying in cash to avoid low-confidence entries while monitoring for a clearer uptrend or downtrend setup....
2025-08-12 CASH
Summary: The trend is unclear with price slightly below EMA despite EMA above SMA, and after a recent losing long exit at a lower price, staying in cash avoids buying back higher without a strong dip in a confirmed uptrend. Recent price action includes a pullback to around 77 on 8/7, followed by a bounce, but without volume capitulation or clear trend confirmation, this doesn't present a high-confidence long setup—especially since we exited the prior long at 77.05 for a loss and should be patient for a better entry below that level if re-entering....
2025-08-11 CASH
Summary: Trend is unclear with price below both EMA and SMA despite EMA slightly above SMA, recent volume capitulation invalidated by sustained lows, and no clear uptrend or downtrend for entry while avoiding repeats of recent losing trade....

2025-08-07 SOLD
Summary: Exiting the long position as the July 16 volume capitulation at $78.21 is now invalidated by 5 consecutive bars below it, with price closing at 77.02 below both EMA and SMA in an unclear trend, despite supportive AI expansion news with Google Cloud, to mitigate potential further declines over the coming weeks....
2025-08-06 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding the existing long position as the pullback hasn't invalidated the July 16 volume capitulation after only four bars below $78.21, with price at support near $77.72 in an unclear trend, bolstered by recent AI expansion news with Google Cloud suggesting potential rebound over weeks despite borrowing concerns....
2025-08-05 HOLD LONG
Summary: Holding the existing long position as the pullback to support at $77.72 remains valid without invalidating the July 16 volume capitulation low after only three bars dipping below $78.21, with EMA still above SMA in an unclear trend, supported by positive developments like the dividend increase to $0.45 and commercial banking collaboration, pointing to a potential rebound over the coming weeks despite recent borrowing concerns....

2025-07-31 BUY
Summary: Bouncing from rising support at $80.33 after recent capitulation low at $78.21, with positive dividend hike and strong Q2 earnings supporting a multi-week rally in this unclear but constructive trend. Fundamentals bolster this setup, as Wells Fargo recently announced a 12.5% dividend increase to $0.45 per share, payable September 1 to holders on August 8, following a robust Q2 2025 earnings report on July 15 with $5.5 billion in net income, indicating financial strength despite some social media chatter about borrowing levels. ...
2025-07-30 SOLD
Summary: The uptrend persists with price above EMA and SMA, but recent pullback to near resistance-turned-support at $81.5 amid mixed sentiment on borrowing concerns warrants exiting the long position entered at $79.91 after 10 bars to lock in gains before potential further downside....
2025-07-29 HOLD LONG

2025-07-22 HOLD LONG
