X gapped up on the open and after a short period of consolidation, it took out the opening range high. I went long as soon as price took out the OR high - (my avg price $61.65). Volume picked up nicely, propelling the stock up to my target of $64.00. My target of $64.00 was the midway point between resistance ($64.18 from the daily) and the 100% Fibonacci extension from Friday's low. As you can see from the chart, X actually tagged the 1.6 Fibonacci extension at $65.19 (Wow!, how often does that happen?) before coming back in. So my target, which I thought was very optimistic given last week's run, was not quite right.Chart: 5 minute timeframe

Hi Jose,
Welcome to the blog and thanks for the kind words.
Great trade Jamie!
I started putting X on my radar after seeing 2 trading posts by u last wk. But I still missed the boat today! Got distracted. Hope there's more of such setups to come.
Cheers
Hey simply options trader,
Thanks for the mention on your blog last week. I wasn't expecting such a big move on X after last week's run up, but I'll take it.
