Recommendations - Shorting the Slump: NU Holdings & Walmart Under Pressure

Some stocks just can't keep up, and today, we’re looking at two that might be running out of steam.

One’s a fintech favorite showing cracks, the other a retail heavyweight struggling to hold its ground.

Let’s break it down. 

NU Holdings (NYSE: NU)

A sell position is what we are going for here at $13.75.

NU has been riding high, but that momentum looks like it's fading.

The stock is struggling to push higher, and with selling pressure creeping in, this could be the start of a pullback.

If support cracks, we’re looking at a deeper slide. 

🎯 Targets:

Sell: $13.75
TP1: $12.95
TP2: $12.45

Walmart (NYSE: WMT)

Retail is facing some rough waters, and Walmart isn’t immune.

Hence we are taking advantage of this and going for a sell position of $101.17 as well.

The stock has been hovering near key levels, but buyers aren’t showing much strength.

If weakness continues, it could roll over into a broader decline. 

🎯 Targets:

Sell: $101.17
TP1: $99.20
TP2: $97.00

Two very different companies, same story.

Momentum is fading, and sellers are circling.

Let’s see if these setups play out!

Think Every Success Story Is Just Marketing Hype? Here’s How Real Traders Win!

Bullish Abandoned Baby

The Bullish Abandoned Baby is a rare but powerful bullish reversal candlestick pattern that signals a potential shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. 

It's a three-candle pattern characterized by a significant gap between the second and third candles.

What to Look For:

• Three Candles:
  1. Large Bearish Candle: The pattern begins with a long red candle, indicating strong selling pressure and confirming the downtrend.
     
     
  2. Doji Candle: The second candle is a Doji, characterized by a small or non-existent body, suggesting indecision or a balance between buyers and sellers. Crucially, this Doji must gap below the close of the first bearish candle.
     
     
  3. Large Bullish Candle: The third candle is a long green candle that opens above the high of the Doji candle, indicating a sudden surge in buying pressure. This gap signifies a significant shift in market sentiment.

In the last episode of “mind over markets”, we broke down how study actually works in trading. 

But let’s be honest - many traders hear "study" and immediately think boring, time-consuming, or too much work.

But here’s the truth: If you’re not studying, you’re setting yourself up for failure. 

Think of a college student who never reviews their notes, never does their assignments, and just wings it on exam day. 

How do you think that turns out? Exactly.

Now, I get it - not everyone loves studying. 

But if you want to improve as a trader, there’s one habit that can completely change the game: End of Day Review.

I can tell you from experience, most of my biggest improvements came from simply reviewing my trades at the end of the day. 

The why, the how, the what could’ve been better - it all adds up. 

Once you start, you’ll see the difference for yourself.

So if you can study daily, do it. If you can’t? 

At the very least, make End of Day Review non-negotiable.

That’s it for today - go put in the work this week!
