- traderbren: $PANW - may run now that it's cleared the 50d to close the gap at 193.10
- joelsg1: $CRWD I am long from way below so holding through E tonight. With a $31 implied move, I'm tempted to trade spreads but not going to do it. Reason is this one generally follows the other cybersecurity names, literally as it reports last, and the first $FTNT fell way below the 200d before a slight 5% E bounce and the largest $PANW also fell below the 200d with a bigger E bounce. $CRWD came close but stayed above the 200d. So, hoping for a decent E reaction but not making further bets it will do so.
- Dig44north: @joelsg1 $CRWD $FTNT $PANW closed my Dec $350 short puts for a slight gain. Thanks for your option calls/spreads on stocks
- joelsg1: @Dig44north $CRWD $FTNT $PANW You're welcome. By posting ideas, I sometimes write myself out of trades, but I'm batting around .500 and since I play wide spreads with hopefully a 1-3 risk-reward, they've worked past year.
- kenb: $PANW back down to test the 21d, watching for a bounce.
- joelsg1: $CRWD In their quiet period into E next Thurs. but yesterday announced pshp with $ZS. Long from way below, seems $112 drop to almost the 200d is sufficient pennance. They already have pshp with $OKTA, showing they don't have to acquire competitors like $PANW did with $CYBR.
- camaro69: $PANW strong today
- traderbren: @camaro69 $PANW - it needs to stay / close above the 200d, and if it can clear 189, it could trade up to close the gap at 193.10
- traderbren: $PANW - we may see a trade to fill the gap at 193.10 if it holds the pop this morning.
- Auto: $PANW short working next stop $180 R2 5 min chart
- joelsg1: $PANW Nice pop from great E yesterday, confirming pattern buy when the RSI hits 30, though still below the $12 implied move. And they have the $CYBR deal to digest. I'm long but heavier in $CRWD which reports 8/27, same day as $NVDA. Lost the ah pin action and now basing around $420 with its RSI headed to 30 as well, my trigger to add pre-E. $PANW is the largest cybersecurity co. but felt it needed the $CYBR deal to boost its agentic identity security offering. $CRWD already has that with its Falcon platform and partnership with $OKTA.
- camaro69: $PANW reports after the market closes today
- camaro69: $PANW there earnings tonight will hopefully give some good insight into how AI will effect the cybersecurity industry!
- joelsg1: @camaro69 $PANW Tempted but resisting a new $CRWD long trade off these E tonight. Last few years have seen 3-5% $CRWD reaction, but no sign it's bottomed yet.
- Henry: $PANW beat and raise guidance $CRWD pin action
- joelsg1: @Henry $PANW $CRWD Up ah to the top but not over my $12 implied move. Already knocked off a few of those pins but looking to add.
- bengalrichter: @Henry $PANW $CRWD https://investors.paloaltonetworks.com/news-releases/news-release-details/palo-alto-networks-reports-fiscal-fourth-quarter-and-fiscal-9 Fiscal fourth quarter revenue grew 16% year over year to $2.5 billion. Fiscal year 2025 revenue grew 15% year over year to $9.2 billion.
- camaro69: @kenb $PANW Doing the same!
- kenb: Palo Alto Networks $PANW is scheduled to announce Q4 earnings results on Monday, August 18th, after market close. Wall Street, on average, expects the cybersecurity company to post a quarterly EPS of $0.89 (-41.1% Y/Y) on revenue of $2.5B (+13.6% Y/Y). Holding core positions in multiple accounts with nice cushions, so going to hold through ER, and then potentially add based on price action.
- camaro69: $PANW in reading about the purchase of CyberArk, It should be a great addition in an area where they were weak in their platform. I have no idea if they overpaid! They feel the threat of AI taking there business. Up this am . we will see. Someone will lead cybersecurity to the future in this everchanging world. I'm actually concerned about identity tracking and banking being digital.. Like being in an auto driven car I imagine. Everything just floating in space!
- camaro69: $PANW trying. lots of work to do to climb through this but it's trying

StockMarketMentor: ...
The Trade Desk ($TTD). Not much trading last quarter, I guess. Down 34.5%. Again, watch for a rebound; don't predict it. Similar moves (albeit not quite so extreme) were seen in $PANW and $SMCI. Neither gave much of an oversold trade.
No ch ... - ReneeH: @StockMarketMentor $UA $TTD $PANW $SMCI true pearls in your morning updates. Heartfelt thanks always @dan.
- joelsg1: $CRWD As a LT holder since $200 from outage 1 year ago, always watch the cybersecurity E cycle which began with $FTNT last night-no bueno due to guidance concerns re their firewall refresh biz. $CRWD getting hit as a result, even though $CRWD is not really firewall focused. $PANW is but is trying to move towards full platformization with its recent $CYBR buy. So, watching for a turn entry in $CRWD, even though may have to wait until after $PANW E 8/18 but before $CRWD's E 8/27.
- joelsg1: @joelsg1 $CRWD $FTNT $PANW $CYBR I thought $450 might be the entry level, but now more like $430 and counting.
- jonwest88: @joelsg1 $CRWD $FTNT $PANW $CYBR added some CRWD @430 now 425. PANW have had them from the 70's and 130's and added some the yesterday and today avg @ 174. They are not having the same issues as FTNT. Let it ride. Not a good trading vehicle anyway. CYBR was a good buy for them
- camaro69: $PANW may be a low risk entry
- kenb: @camaro69 $PANW something goosed this about 2pm and it's done nothing but go up. Haven't seen any news. Nice to see it finally go after the drop. Holding a core position from below.

$PANW -- OMM BuCS
ATI Stocks:
$IBIT -- entry now? Still forming a new base…but early trade is fine.
$WMT -- VWAP…never looked back.
$AMZN -- holding 50-day MA.
$FNGU (3x) -- trapped (also look at $MAGS -- not leveraged).
$G ... - kenb: @romanalexk $CYBR being acquired by $PANW for cash and stock. Will trade along with it.
- romanalexk: @kenb $CYBR $PANW Thank you for the insightful info. I did not know.
- kenb: $PANW still falling, seems Mr Market really doesn't like the $CYBR deal. Still bullish on the company long-term and holding a profitable position, looking to add when it stabilizes somewhat. Not yet, it's still dropping and I can't see any MVA's around this level that might provide support.
- ThomasPersohn: @kenb $PANW wasn't a leader in the group even before the deal announcement
- kenb: @ThomasPersohn $PANW just curious what you mean by not being a leader. I'm a long-term holder and initiated a position last year on ER dips when they discussed transitioning from on-premise to cloud provider, realizing that effort might take a few quarters to play out. It's done very well for me since.
- ThomasPersohn: @kenb $PANW Oh; I'm a position trader who owns a stock for a few quarters. From April thru June $ZS & RBRK out paced the S&P, but &PANW just kept up with it.
- kenb: @ThomasPersohn $PANW $ZS OK, thanks for the clarification. There are all types of traders here with very diverse strategies and time frames all with the same goal to make $'s on their investments. I'm not long-term on every investment, but am bullish on this one and the cybersecurity space.
- kenb: @ReneeH $cybr not sure, at this point it's arbitrage, and is going to trade along with $PANW price action. I have a position in $PANW which is down, but longer term I think it is going higher and I added this morning even though it is under all the MVA's. Palo Alto Networks agreed to acquire CyberArk Software in a deal worth $25 billion , the two cybersecurity companies announced Wednesday. CyberArk shareholders will receive $45 in cash and 2.2005 shares of Palo Alto common stock for each CyberArk share they own. The deal is expected to close in the second half of Palo Alto's fiscal 2026.
- ReneeH: @kenb $cybr $PANW so right, thank you. Looking for leaders on buyable pullbacks.
- vitoB: $PANW starter yesterday and hit 169 in the am. Added and out of that dtrade portion. Think this has started a turn. Long
- wijimmy: $PANW .. Nasty drop -20% in 3 days after announcing they are acquiring cyberark software for 25 billion $CYBR .. and today getting numerous downgrades and price target drops…. Guess the market thinks they overpaid.
- vitoB: $PANW good spot for starter 173
- Rjeletrik: @vitoB $PANW good luck
- camaro69: $PANW bouncing
- joelsg1: $PANW BO until at least $FTNT E 8/6, Long.
- joelsg1: @joelsg1 $PANW $FTNT Added 8/29 $210-235 call spreads.
- traderbren: $CYBR v $PANW v $FTNT v $CRWD ???
- cgendro1: $PANW- In talks to acquire CyberArk.
- Crodmm: @traderbren $CYBR $PANW Nearing a 20 billion $ deal to by CYBR
- joelsg1: @joelsg1 $PANW $FTNT Whoops, $PANW in talks to acquire $CYBR for over $20B, eschewing $S. But more consolidation coming in this space.
- kenb: @traderbren $CYBR and last week, WSJ reported $PANW was in talks to acquire $S, also an Israeli cybersecurity firm. Neither firm would comment.
- kenb: @StockMarketMentor $SAIL guessing this jump is because of the $PANW $CYBR news, timing for the bump in price shows it happened about the same time. Already have a position, and it's been moving sideways since their ER pop.
- joelsg1: $PANW Rumor $PANW sniffing $S acquisition for around $23 which is only 10% premium.
- billyzeke: $PANW -I bought the dip at it's 200 day and it's now gettting back above the 50 day.
- traderbren: @billyzeke $PANW - yep, this might get some traction along with $CYBR.
- billyzeke: Nice to see software trying to get backon it's feet, I bought some $CRWD and $PANW early this morning both working well so far.
- billyzeke: @marklesparkle $NOW $SNOW $CRM $CRWD $ZS Just looked at $PANW and it's getting close to the 200 day!
- marklesparkle: @billyzeke$CRWD $PANW $ZS this just could be the fat boys with their foot off the gas as Dan says. Theres one thing to take your foot off the gas and then theres another to drive backwards in the fog
- joelsg1: $CRWD Big winner for me got crushed on Piper analyst Rob Owens' downgrade Sunday night from Buy to Hold, though he left target at $505. On 6/4 he caught up to rising stock price then $460 by raising his target from $400 to that $505, so he was too late then and his downgrade simply recognizes his target was exceeded. Rising channel still looks good with partial stop just under 20d at $488, with E 8/27 after $FTNT and $PANW. 50d support at $461 to add.
- kenb: $PANW back over $200 level, moving towards its ATH of about $208 set in Mar 2025.
- kenb: $PANW bounced off the 8d EMA and moving above the $200 level again. Maybe this is the day it will close above. Long.
- mopick: @kenb $PANW, am with you on this one. Added a bit this morning, as $200 has been quite the obstacle. Might be premature but we'll see.
- camaro69: @kenb $PANW it's holding in there. long
- jpoko13: $PANW pushing up on a break out
- jpoko13: $PANW Took a small as it is poking up it's li'l head
- traderbren: $PANW - pushing for an upside gap close.
- wijimmy: $SPOT … what a tease today…broke out and pulled promptly back … really underperformed today … along with $PANW was looking for more here..
- lance1161: $PANW Bailed on it yesterday with a small profit (sold stock) and then bought some Aug. 185 calls yesterday. Working nicely...
- lance1161: $PANW Took 1/3 off for profits sake, wasn't expecting such a fast move up.
- joelsg1: $CRWD That "W" pattern completed with a little handle support at the 20d into E 6/3. Analyst upgrades this am even after $PANW meh E, Stifel to $480, BTIG to $520. It's a bit early, but right now implied move into 6/6 about $47, but that means in either direction.
- Dig44north: @joelsg1 $CRWD $PANW $RBRK one more for the list, riding the upper BB into blue skies. ER 5 Jun
- vitoB: 59ers $PANW $TGT $WOLF. Wolf is chapter 11 bankruptcy so would only play this long above vwap on a 1-5 minute trade horizon on some last minute cash infusion. I don't think govt wants ant potential liability on this company going under. Complete speculation. Best play would be Pablo alto
- kenb: $PANW bottomed out after the ER sell-off at the weekly 50 MVA and starting to move back up. Took the opportunity to add on the dip.
- wijimmy: $PANW ... starting to catch a bid above VWAP
- wijimmy: @kenb $PANW ...$PANW .. Solid bounce and support at the 50day on both the daily and weekly..
- camaro69: @wijimmy $PANW working
- wijimmy: @camaro69 $PANW ….👍👍👍👍👍👍
- wijimmy: @wijimmy $PANW …. Liking price action here today.. after ER dip getting close HOD ..for an add
- vitoB: $PANW HOD
- lance1161: @vitoB $PANW Nice move since the morning low, bought on dips today - still holding for now...
- wijimmy: @lance1161 $PANW … I did also … using 50day area for tight stops… 50 daily and weekly are practically on top of each other
- lance1161: @wijimmy $PANW Bailed on the current drop.
- joelsg1: $PANW I hope someones know something with last 15 minute buys. E tonight.
- joelsg1: @joelsg1 $PANW They did beat and meet guide. So far not good enough ah on very low volume.
- stairm01: @joelsg1 $PANW The expected move to the low side for earnings was $180. I sold this weeks $180 puts for $2.43. The IV was over 102% which will go out in the morning. If the stock stays above the $180 strike, the option expires worthless.
- joelsg1: @stairm01 $PANW Nice, free money I think.
- kenb: @joelsg1 $PANW I thought the ER was good and they gave positive guidance for next quarter. The price dipped down to the 21d and appears to be holding so far, so I took the opportunity to add to my position just below the 21d. Time will tell.
- joelsg1: $PANW I'm a sucker for E plays in a rising market and they're tomorrow, so added 5/30 $192.50-212.50 call spreads. Potential inverse skinny H&S around the 200d. $CRWD got a boost from Jensen's mention at Computex last night, but these guys will buy it too, and they are larger and cheaper than $CRWD. Probably get a better price tomorrow, but now I have focus.
- joelsg1: $PANW Out of remaining today's itm calls for small profit, and hovering the sell to close button on all other calls expiring today. This is a major monthly expiration after the nearly 6-week rally and with the put/call ratio at lows, market makers who wrote those calls have had to load up on covered stocks to balance their risk, so expecting an unwind as we approach the close and maybe into next week, meaning they'll sell stocks they've acquired because no longer needed which will have the beneficial effect (to them) of pinning the close below the major open interest strikes so their written calls will expire worthless. Of course, probably overthinking this, but don't turn gains into losses by hoping for the best when these start to turn. Just sayin...
- joelsg1: $PANW Ramping into E next Tuesday. I closed most of my options expiring tomorrow mostly quite profitable in other stocks, but holding these for now and laddered up.
- Onthemark: A great day today, all positions showing gains except $PANW and that was only a minor pullback. Have a great evening all.
- woodman: $CYBR moving above resistance area (~$362) (inverse head and shoulder neckline area), following the path of $FTNT and $CRWD. $PANW a little behind, but these are all similar patterns. I'm still holding $CYBR $PANW.
- kenb: @woodman $CRWD JMP Securities analyst David Turkaly maintains CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) with a Market Outperform and raises the price target from $400 to $500. Also holding $PANW. Cybersecurity acting strong.
- woodman: @kenb $CRWD $PANW - Thanks.
- joelsg1: @kenb $CRWD $PANW Posted 5/30-6/2 $420-450 calendar spreads filled briefly, rolled the short strikes up and out to $500 for credits.
- joelsg1: $CRWD Completed that "W" and strong above the 8d, $PANW following off its inverse H&S. Mo data, Mo cybersecurity needed. Long both.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $CRWD $PANW - $PANW testing that $191 resistance level from 3/25-26. $CYBR testing that ~$362 resistance area from 3/24-26 Long both PANW and $CYBR.
- joelsg1: @woodman $CRWD $PANW $CYBR Let's go!
- woodman: $CYBR $PANW - I'm in CYBR, but it needs to get up through $362. It's following $FTNT (np currently) and $CRWD (np). I'm also long $PANW which needs a push through $191.
- joelsg1: $PANW Day 6 Higher.
- woodman: @joelsg1 $PANW - I bought some after you posted on it, and have added here and there.
