stacked EMAs + earnings beat + my OTM call strategy

Editor’s Note: While most investors are distracted by dramatic headlines and unpredictable market moves, JC Parets—known in the industry as “The Chart Whisperer”—has been quietly tracking what he believes is the most crucial market turning point in years.

This pivotal moment is linked to a little-known government mandate, taking effect on May 27.

For the past 15 years, JC has accurately forecasted every major market crash and recovery. Now, he’s sounding his loudest alarm yet…

Instead of following the noise, JC urges investors to zero in on what he calls “The Pivot Point.” His analysis suggests that positioning ahead of this event could represent a rare window to pursue 20x or greater gains within a matter of weeks.

On Wednesday, May 21, at 2 p.m. ET, JC Parets will join Monument Traders Alliance for a special live session, where he’ll share an urgent 3-step action plan—including three specific trades he recommends before the May 27 deadline.

This online event is free to attend, but spots are extremely limited.

Hey Gang,

The market’s in one of those “cautiously optimistic” moods: S&P’s still sideways, Nasdaq flexing, retail perking up, tech getting bought.

But the real fireworks are always in the names that show leadership before the market wakes up.

Right now, that’s Toast (TOST). This chart is showing all the right ingredients for a breakout, and I want to be ready when it cooks.

If you don’t know, Toast is a cloud-based platform powering point-of-sale, payments, and restaurant management for eateries of all sizes. If you’ve paid at a restaurant with a sleek touchscreen lately—there’s a good chance it was Toast.

But here’s what stands out:

  • Up +20% year-to-date (major indices just now turning green)
  • Trading right at/near 52-week highs
  • Fresh off a big earnings win
  • Stacked EMAs on both daily & weekly
  • Squeeze setting up on the 30-minute and shorter timeframes

If you’re looking for momentum, this is where it’s hiding.

Intraday Squeezes: The Spring Is Tightening

Let’s talk about what’s really got my attention—the squeeze on the intraday charts.

For those new here, a squeeze is when the Bollinger Bands contract inside the Keltner Channels—volatility dries up, and price action goes quiet. It’s like a spring winding tighter and tighter. When you see these squeezes pop up on the 30-min, 15-min, or even 5-min charts right near highs, that’s when I get excited.

No daily squeeze here—just that building pressure on the smaller time frames.

This tells me the stock is loading up energy, and if it fires, the move could be fast and sharp.

Stacked EMAs: Buyers in Control

I keep it simple: stacked EMAs (shorter above longer) mean the trend’s intact and buyers are running the show. TOST has that textbook look—8-day, 21-day, 34-day, and 55-day EMAs all lined up perfectly on the daily and weekly charts.

Every dip gets scooped up. That’s the kind of price action you want to see if you’re looking to play for continuation.

Relative Strength: TOST Leaving the Market in the Dust

Relative strength is my favorite “cheat code” for finding where the real money is hiding. While the S&P and Nasdaq just managed to go green this year, TOST is already up over 20%. Institutions aren’t waiting around—they’re already in, and that’s the kind of name I want to target for a breakout.

Earnings Winner: Extra Fuel for the Move

I’m a technician at heart, but let’s be real—when a chart’s this strong and it’s coming off a blowout earnings report, you have to pay attention. TOST just delivered:

  • Over 6,000 net new locations
  • Recurring gross profit up 37% YoY
  • Raised 2025 guidance
  • Major new clients like Applebee’s and Topgolf
  • Expanding AI and new verticals

Strong earnings like that attract more eyeballs, and that can help push the breakout when the squeeze fires.

Your Action Plan

I’m already in some OTM calls, looking for a move as soon as next week.

This is not the time to chase laggards hoping for a bounce. Stick with strength.

TOST is showing all the right signs—momentum, technical power, and a fresh catalyst from earnings. If the breakout comes, I want to be riding shotgun, not chasing after the fact.
