This depends on your risk appetite.

  1. Go long on M&T Bank’s shares with a reduced position size and wait for its price to break out and for the indicators to agree with each other to enter your remaining position size; OR

2. Position Trading (Daily)

From the look of Paramount Global’s chart above, you can tell that it’s in a downtrend.

In fact, it hasn’t been able to recover from the crash brought about by COVID-19 in Mar 2021.

Thus, it’s natural to be on the lookout for a short-selling position trading opportunity.

You can see a red arrow which symbolizes the likely direction of prices in the coming days and weeks.

Did you notice that the bar of the Trend Impulse Indicator is in dark green?

This shows that the momentum of this downtrend is strong.

And we have an agreement by both indicators! This makes a fabulous short-selling position trade.

 

Conclusion: M&T Bank & Paramount Global

M&T Bank could be ready for a position trade if its price can break out of its range. When that happens, you’ll also want to watch for an agreement of both indicators – the green arrow and Trend Impulse Factor.

Paramount Global is still reeling from the shock brought about by COVID-19. Its share price hasn’t been able to find its footing, sliding since Mar 2021.

A look at its chart brings a short-selling trading opportunity though!

Because the stock market doesn’t behave according to our instructions and hopes, it’s advisable to place a stop loss level to protect your trading capital when the time to short both stocks are ripe, should an unexpected event occur.
