Roku is one of our favorite names to trade even though it is quite volatile, especially during earnings season. Notice on the chart that the stock got drilled in February. A huge slide from the low 50’s did not stop until a bottom (45% lower!) was reached in April.
Since bottoming out, it has been on a slow upward progression. The recent action is classic bullish behavior: a breakout on good turnover with a confirmation only five days later on higher volume. Of course, the gap is the next target area, but that is a nice 25% move.
We believe the stock can make that move as evidenced by a steep RSI (see the top of the pane), surging money flow and a MACD buy signal. In our Explosive Options portfolio, we rolled up a nice winner and hold Aug 42 call strikes.
