Like many things on Wall Street, technical analysis is widely misunderstood. Many analysts try to identify chart patterns without understanding the psychology and price action that creates them. This is unfortunate because if applied correctly, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/profits">analysis can generate profits</a>.
The chart of Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pfe#NYSE">PFE</a>) offers some important lessons. That's why we have named it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
A common principle in technical analysis is that some price levels have more importance than others. These are called support and resistance levels. Another common principle is that price levels that were resistance can turn into support levels. This happens because of remorseful sellers.
People sell, and if the price eventually moves higher many of them regret their decision to do so. Some of them vow to buy their shares back. But they will only do so if they can buy them for the same price they were sold at.
As a result, if the stock falls back to this price they place buy orders. If there are enough of these orders it will form support at the level that had been resistance.
Technical analysis has a fractal nature. The same patterns and dynamics can be seen on charts of different time horizons. This happens because the patterns and dynamics are illustrations of the psychology of traders and investors who have strategies with different time horizons.
As you can see on the four-month chart of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PFE">Pfizer</a>, the $29.50 level was resistance in May and June. After this resistance was broken the level converted into a support level. This is a graphical illustration of the seller's remorse of swing traders. They typically have a time horizon of a few weeks or months.

The same price action can be seen on a one-day chart. This is an illustration of the psychology of traders who have short-term horizons. These are the scalpers and day traders.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="547" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113818/1-37-1024x547.png" alt="" class="wp-image-465365" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113818/1-37-1024x547.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113818/1-37-300x160.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113818/1-37-768x410.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113818/1-37.png 1039w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

Similar actions can also be seen on a five-year chart. This is an illustration of the psychology of long-term buy and hold investors.
Some of them sold in December of 2020 around the $42.00 level. And for a few months, they thought they made a good decision because the shares trended lower.
Then in July 2021, the stock moved above this price. Many of these investors then became remorseful. They decided to buy their shares back at their selling price. So, when they finally did in October 2022, their buy orders created support.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="553" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113908/1-38-1024x553.png" alt="" class="wp-image-465371" style="width:920px;height:auto" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113908/1-38-1024x553.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113908/1-38-300x162.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113908/1-38-768x415.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/30113908/1-38.png 1039w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
If understood and applied correctly, technical analysis is a study of market psychology. The same dynamics can be seen on charts with different timeframes. They are graphical illustrations of the psychology of traders and investors who are using strategies with different time horizons.

Stock Of The Day: Pfizer Pattern Offers Lessons After Better-Than-Expected Q2 Results

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) shares are trading lower today. 
Today, the company disclosed the shipment of its ninth-generation (G9) TLC NAND SSDs, becoming the first in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g40037487/micron-announces-volume-production-of-ninth-generation-nand-flash-technology" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the industry to reach this milestone</a>.
The G9 NAND boasts the highest transfer speed of 3.6 GB/s, providing higher bandwidth for data read and write operations. This new NAND delivers top-tier performance for AI and data-intensive applications, from personal devices to enterprise and cloud data centers.
Micron&#8217;s G9 NAND delivers 50% faster data transfer, 99% higher write bandwidth, and 88% better read bandwidth per die compared to competitors, boosting performance and energy efficiency in SSDs and embedded solutions.
Scott DeBoer, executive vice president of Technology and Products said, &#8220;Micron G9 NAND is up to 73% denser than competitive technologies in the market today, allowing for more compact and efficient storage solutions that benefit both consumers and businesses.&#8221;
Prasad Alluri, Micron&#8217;s vice president and general manager of Client Storage said, &#8220;Nearing theoretical saturation levels for PCIe Gen4, the Micron 2650 SSD uses our new G9 NAND to push the boundaries of what a value TLC client SSD can achieve,&#8221;
&#8220;Delivering uMicron&#8217;s higher PCMark 10 benchmark scores than competitive solutions, this drive is set to redefine the user experience for this class of SSD.&#8221;
Jeff Janukowicz, research vice president of IDC&#8217;s Solid State Drives and Enabling Technologies said, &#8220;AI advancements are increasing the data generated and driving the need for more storage, leading customers to require better performance to keep pace with AI.&#8221;
&#8220;SSDs like the Micron 2650, which benefit from the latest generation NAND innovations, will be essential to a broad range of users from businesses to individual consumers,&#8221; added Janukowicz.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via REX FANG &amp; Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEPI#NASDAQ">FEPI</a>) and Grizzle Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DARP#NYSE">DARP</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">All Eyes On Microsoft</h3>
Note the following:
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-market-microsoft-earnings-fomc-meeting-msft-mc-07302024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
<ul>
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of MSFT stock is being used to illustrate the point.</li>
<li>The chart shows that MSFT stock has given up all of its gains since the breakout.</li>
<li>The chart shows that MSFT is now back to the top band of the support zone.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that MSFT stock is now technically oversold and can easily bounce if earnings are better than expected.</li>
<li>Microsoft will report earnings after the close today. MSFT stock has run up on AI frenzy. In The Arora Report analysis, investors should focus on the following in Microsoft's earnings and conference call:
<ul>
<li>Azure growth in the last quarter</li>
<li>Projected Azure growth in the current quarter</li>
<li>Projected Azure growth for the year</li>
<li>Monetization of Copilot</li>
<li>AI related capital expenditures and what will be the return on those expenditures</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>As full disclosure, MSFT stock is in the ZYX Buy Model Portfolio from The Arora Report.&nbsp;</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, Microsoft earnings will be the major determinant of the AI trade. Technicals are set up for AI stocks to stage a rally from here. However, it will take better than expected earnings from Microsoft to trigger the rally.  If Microsoft earnings are disappointing, it does not automatically mean another leg down in AI stocks as investors will wait for earnings from Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).</li>
<li>The FOMC meeting is starting today. FOMC will announce it's decision at 2pm ET tomorrow followed by Powell's press conference at 2:30pm ET.</li>
<li>The Bank of Japan is also meeting. More important than the Fed decision is the Bank of Japan's decision as the Bank of Japan's decision has major implications for U.S. stocks.</li>
<li>JOLTS job openings and consumer confidence will both be released at 10am ET and may be market moving.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in AAPL, AMZN, and Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in META, NVDA, and MSFT.
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are mixed in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ. Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>). The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
There is some disappointment among Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bulls as they were expecting bitcoin to breakout after Trump's plan to drive bitcoin to the moon. Instead of breaking out, bitcoin appears to be seeing money outflows. So far, there is not clear evidence that bitcoin whales have been selling and taking advantage of excitement by retail investors. However, whales are very good at hiding their selling activity.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.  If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

Watching the Olympics makes it easy to get swept up in the excitement of the events and the incredible talent on display. But have you ever wondered how much these elite athletes actually earn? The truth is, the financial world of Olympians is a lot more complicated than you might think.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a></li>
<li>Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks"> People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a></li>
</ul>
Olympians don't receive a regular salary for competing. There's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38735298/good-income-is-not-a-moral-statement-woman-making-36-000-a-year-is-puzzled-by-dave-ramsey-callin">no paycheck waiting for them</a> just to be part of the Games. Instead, their income comes from a mix of sources, which can vary widely depending on the athlete and their sport.
One of the most straightforward ways Olympians can earn money is through medal bonuses. For example, in the United States, athletes receive:
<ul>
<li>$37,500 for a gold medal</li>
<li>$22,500 for a silver medal</li>
<li>$15,000 for a bronze medal</li>
</ul>
These amounts can differ significantly in other countries. Some nations offer substantial bonuses – like Singapore, which awards around $737,000 for a gold medal – while others provide little to nothing.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund"> would you invest in it</a>?
But for top-tier athletes, the real money often comes from sponsorships and endorsements. Think of stars like Simone Biles or Michael Phelps – they can earn millions from deals with major brands. However, this level of financial success is not typical for all Olympians. Many athletes struggle to secure sponsorships, especially if they're not in the spotlight.
While some athletes rake in big bucks, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/02/36957443/the-majority-of-americans-dont-feel-financially-secure-and-believe-they-need-to-earn-233-000-a-y">reality for many is quite different</a>. Many Olympians earn less than $25,000 a year from their sport. To make ends meet, they often take on part-time or full-time jobs, rely on family support, or even run crowdfunding campaigns to help fund their training and competitions.
Trending: Commercial real estate has historically outperformed the stock market, and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/marcus-millichap-backed-platform-makes-it-easy-to-invest-in-real-estate"> this platform allows individuals to invest in commercial real estate with as little as $5,000 offering a 12% target yield with a bonus 1% return boost today!</a>
It's also important to consider the costs associated with being an Olympian. Training at such a high level isn't cheap. Athletes often face expenses for:
<ul>
<li>Training facilities</li>
<li>Coaching</li>
<li>Equipment</li>
<li>Travel to competitions</li>
<li>Medical care and physiotherapy</li>
</ul>
These costs can add up quickly, and many athletes can exceed any financial rewards they may receive.
At the end of the day, most Olympians <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">compete not for the money</a> but truly for the love of their sport. They dedicate years of hard work and sacrifice to reach the pinnacle of athletic achievement. While a lucky few may find financial success, many are driven by passion, pride, and the desire to represent their country on the world stage.
So, the next time you watch the Olympics, remember that behind every incredible performance is a story of dedication, resilience, and often, financial struggle. The glory of the Games is priceless, but for many athletes, it comes with a hefty price tag.
