Hey Gang,

While everyone’s still chasing tech names, I’m looking at something completely different. BA.

I’ve been watching this thing chop around for what feels like months, and man, it’s just been one of those names that never quite gave me what I wanted.

But I’m looking at it this morning and this squeeze is finally starting to look interesting.

What I’m Seeing Here

So BA’s got this daily squeeze that’s been building, and when I look at the EMAs – we’ve got them stacked properly now.

The 8 is on bottom, 21 in the middle, 55 on top. That tells me the trend structure is healthy and there might actually be some momentum building underneath.

This thing opened up to $242 after earnings then sold off down to the $218 area, and now it’s slowly making its way back up.

And look, the earnings weren’t actually that bad – they’re talking about $3 billion in free cash flow for the year, and had record Q2 deliveries with 150 commercial jets. That’s the most deliveries they’ve had in a second quarter since 2018.

Why This Fits My August Game Plan

I’m being cautious with momentum plays this month. All these AI stocks and tech names that have been ripping? I’m not chasing that stuff right now.

I will only play those on very short time frames.

But BA? This is an old economy, defensive, the kind of name that can work when everything else is getting chopped up.

The thing with daily squeezes is you’ve got to be patient, but when you pair that with stacked EMAs and actual fundamental progress, that’s telling me institutional money might be positioning for higher prices.

They’re ramping 737 production to 38 per month and looking to get FAA approval for 42. This isn’t some random momentum play – there’s actual substance behind the technical structure.

Your Action Plan

I’m keeping an eye on that $220 area as support. If BA holds above there and starts showing me some shorter timeframe squeezes, I’ll probably take a position. Nothing crazy, just something to put some money to work while I’m staying away from the extended tech stuff.

What I like about this is it’s working off that earnings gap in a methodical way. The fundamentals actually support what I’m seeing technically – they beat delivery expectations, got some trade tailwinds with those tariff agreements, and management sounds more confident than they have in a while.

If this thing gets going, it probably wants to fill that gap toward $240. But I’m not trying to be a hero about it. Let me get my entry first, then we’ll see what it wants to do.

You know what I mean?

I’d rather wait for the right setup and maybe watch it go without me than scramble into something just because it’s moving. That’s been my downfall too many times before.

Anyway, BA’s on watch. Let’s see if it wants to give me what I’m looking for.

And while it is a slow week for earnings, I will continue to also focus on my aftershocks strategy. It worked beautifully in RDDT just a few days ago.

So there’s no reason to abandon it now.
