Hey gang…

Today, I want to revisit Costco (COST), which I briefly touched on in the last livestream.

I’m seeing a solid setup here, and I want to break it down for you step by step so you can see exactly what I’m thinking and how I plan to trade it.

The Weekly Chart: Bottom Left to Upper Right

First of all, let’s start with the big picture. If you take a look at Costco’s weekly chart, it’s a thing of beauty. Bottom left, upper right – just a strong, consistent uptrend.

This is the kind of chart that every trader loves to see.

But what I’m really interested in right now is the shorter-term timeframe. Costco has been pulling back, and it’s set up in a way that could give us a great opportunity to trade it for a move higher.

Zooming In: Double Bottom and Room to Run

If we zoom in closer, say, to a 78-minute chart, here’s what I’m seeing. Costco has pulled back and is now forming what looks like a double bottom.

It’s a little awkward in structure, almost like a double bottom-head-and-shoulders reversal pattern, but I think the potential here is clear. If Costco can get over that key $945 level, there’s a lot of room to run.

From $945, we could see a move all the way back to $1,000 before hitting any major resistance. That’s a $50 range with very little in the way to slow it down.

There’s a small resistance level around $960, but beyond that, it’s pretty much clear skies until $1,000.

Options for the Move

Now let’s talk about the trade. Personally, I’m looking at Costco options that expire in the third week of April.

Specifically, I like the $970 calls. These are slightly out of the money, but they give you some room to capture the upside while still keeping the cost manageable.

Costco options can be a little pricey, so if you want a cheaper option, you could look at next week’s $970 calls or even the $950s.

Another way to play this is with a spread – buying the $950 calls and selling the $1,000 calls. This reduces your cost while still giving you exposure to the upside.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

This Costco setup is a great example of what I look for in a trade – clear technical levels, strong trend support, and a defined risk/reward.

Keep your focus on $945 as the key breakout level, and watch $910 as the line in the sand for a stop.
