Starbucks pull back before completing trend channel?Starbucks could be heading to the top of the channel but the speed/momentum at which it is doing so looks like due for a correction. Currently the price point looks to be at 1.618 of wave 1 which is an ideal resistance point for some correction. But, if it were to continue its momentum which is likely then the purple box is the next target point which is both a fib resistance and 2.0 fib extension. I think that SBUX will continue up to the purple box before any correction.
RSI: is overbought on the higher daily & 4hr time frames
EMA's: SBUX has gone pure vertical leaving all EMA's in the dust as well as bollinger-bands. These combined with the RSI lead me to believe there is a correction in store before the next run up.
News: There is no substantial news that I could find that would explain the crazy momentum.
Follow the $: overall the options trading volume is substantially in the bullish direction. looking at the charts this makes sense.the september 18th call expirations look to have almost 7x more capital in them than the puts.
Plays: I would look into $85 or $87 puts if the underlying continues with this momentum to purple box to play the correction. overall I am bullish on starbucks and will be following charts for long term bullish moves. Thanks!
