40% Potential Upside on This Trading Setup You Can’t Ignore
$HTZ Trade Breakdown | Episode 12
I want to tell you that back in February, when this community was created, the main idea was to build content for investors. But in these four months with you, I’ve met so many investors, equity analysts, and financial consultants who bring incredible value through their experience.
I’ve spent hours reading their analyses and realized I’m the one learning from them. At the same time, I’ve discovered I’m much more excited to write about trading, a topic you never really figure out completely. By nature, you’re bound to make mistakes, and that’s exactly what drives growth.
As I wrote on 28th April:
I want to share this journey of swing trading (and sometimes intraday trading) with you. I want to show you ideas, trading setups, backtesting, and most importantly, live testing. I want to show you that it is possible, it is possible to make a living from this and reach financial independence..
Freedom Trade of the week
Hertz ($HTZ) just printed one of the wildest moves this year. Ackman’s Pershing Square took a nearly 20% stake, sending the stock flying over 100% in two days.
Price filled the gap and is now setting up for a potential second leg targeting the previous resistance around $9.
I’m watching closely into May 12 earnings (after market). I won’t touch size here, post-earnings dump risk is real. Safer play is to wait for confirmation after the call.
This trade could be driven by a “green week” fueled by optimism around the US-China talks and a possible cooling of the tariff war.
The US and China finally sat at the table in Switzerland to cool down the tariff war that’s been shaking global markets since January.
Ahead of the US and Chinese negotiators meeting in Switzerland this weekend, Donald Trump posted this on his platform, Truth Social:
