Will Companies Like Square (Block) Ever Make a Comeback?Ah yes... I remember the good ol' days of Square (now known as Block). It was one my best investments in my short career as a trader/investor. Way back when, the story was quite obvious: they had created the best solution for small businesses to sell goods & services either in a store or online. It was fast and effortless. The rise of Block, and subsequent drop, has been something to marvel at. I had sold my position many moons ago, but it's remained on my watchlist because I like the company and what it stands for. Some people have given it a very hard time for its rebranding to Block, its new logo, and mission. However, considering that they are payment experts, I think it's notable and worth watching. Nevertheless, can the stock really make a comeback? The chart is horrendous. One factor contributing to this downward trend is the significant acquisition of Afterpay, which required a substantial amount of cash and stock, impacting Block's balance sheet. I still have NO idea why they paid this much to acquire an average company. I guess the hype and FOMO of BNPL really got to them. In August 2021, Block announced its intent to acquire Afterpay, a prominent "buy now, pay later" fintech company. I think the story made sense - it gave them the capability to add their own credit network. However, the sheer size of the transaction was just bonkers. Block currently has a market cap of $28 billion. BUT, they acquired AfterPay for $29 billion! Ouch... the company is now worth less than their recent buyout. It's important to note that such significant acquisitions often take time to yield the intended benefits. The share price decline may be partially attributed to investor impatience and a lack of immediate clarity on how Block plans to integrate Afterpay into its broader ecosystem. The question is simple: will AfterPay ever yield the payout that Block intended it to have? If the answer is anything but "yes - it's happening" there's no reason to trade or invest in this any further. HOWEVER, if there are glimpses that show, just maybe, Block made a smart acquisition, adding a new layer to their payment network that is only just starting, then the return to highs is not far-fetched at all. The trade is simple: watch to see how Block continues to integrate AfterPay, and, it is starts to work, it's worth evaluating further over 1-3 year comeback in share price.

Block (NYSE: SQ) Could Be On The Conduit Of Potential Catalysts'Square-parent Block (SQ) on Thursday reported third-quarter earnings and revenue that topped estimates.

SQ-Potential Scenarios to Watch for Over The Next...Head and shoulders pattern identified on the weekly chart. I will be watching for a break or retest of the 52 week low or a break and hold above 47.50. A break below the 52 week low would confirm that market participants want to take the stock lower. However, a break and hold above 47.50 would confirm that participants are interested in taking the market higher. On a lower time frame (specifically the 4H chart), data shows price broke below the .618 fibonacci retracement level and retested (see image below). The stock could potentially move lower being that it retested the . Furthermore, price rejected the same level three times on the 1H timeframe. Something else that should be pointed out here is the daily chart shows an increase of sellers over the last three trading sessions. *Side note -Interestingly, SQ is in the price area it was at the beginning of COVID-19. A break below the 52 week low may cause price to retest the low from April 2020. Should price reach the low from April 2020, we should watch to see if price finds support or breaks down further.

Black Monday all over again on October 19 and Where SQ may drop The weekly chart of SQ showed a strong rejection of higher prices at Vwap with an increase in volume and if history is to repeat itself and we have a huge move down like we did on October 19, 1987 then I see prices going all the way down to $10 next week. Its possible for a move of this size because SQ did drop this much on the week of May 9, 2022. The $10 target is based on a measured move of the sideways range. With so much turmoil going on around the world and with the bond market tanking, I think the equity market has a lot to catch up to in a short amount of time. Tlt 20 year tbond etf had a No Demand up day on Friday on very low volume so its very likely to continue dropping. With interest yields rising, something has to break and I think it will the equity markets.

SQ goin up. As you can see here, we are coming up on a demand zone area from back in March 2020. We are touching the bottom line of the Bollinger bands and the bands are opening up meaning there could be volatility for a big move. We are also oversold on the RSI as well. I would wait for a big move off of the band with high volume and target the upper Bollinger band. The analyst on TradingView and most of the recent ideas on here suggest we are going to make a reversal soon.

$SQ - Could be nearing a reversalNYSE:SQ underwent consolidation in the same area from 2018 to 2020. It experienced a sharp decline after breaking out of the consolidation range before skyrocketing. It took a total of 81 weeks from the beginning of consolidation to the final plunge below the consolidation range. It then took just 3 weeks to climb back into the range, which is above $55. Fast forward to the present, we find ourselves consolidating in the same range, and on week 73, we saw a plunge below the consolidation range. If history were to repeat itself, we could speculate that Square is nearing a reversal and it may start as soon as next week. What are your thoughts?

SQ Massive Breakdown ComingSQ has been in a range for about a year and has finally gapped down below all support on volume. The CEO stepped down so that's a bad sign for the company. The last two weeks of Sept and the first two weeks of October are sometimes down months so the odds are good that it will drop pretty fast over the next four weeks. Fibonacci extensions show $10 as the low which is in line with a measured move out of a range. Volume Spread Analysis confirms this move on the weekly chart: Huge volume spike engulfing pattern and also a liquidity clearout of the high of the engulfing bar and a final No Demand UP bar near the bottom of support before dropping I was surprised that put options are priced pretty cheap especially if prices drop like a rock. Fortunes can be make in situations like this in a short period of time.
