Is AMC Stock Gearing Up for Another Massive Move?

Published October 13, 2021

In the Sept. 29 issue of Stock Surge Daily, I told you about my trade in AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC).

This is the “Mother of all Meme Stocks” that I first brought to your attention back on Aug. 19.

The stock made a massive run in early 2021, surging over 3,000% from the January low to the June peak.

But shares then started to consolidate in July and moved sideways through early August.

This gave me a low-risk entry point to start a small position in the shares.

The stock started to trade higher after my initial entry and got into the $50 range briefly, but I didn’t get the follow-through I was looking for.

However, I continued to stalk a new entry on AMC.

I told you that if price continued to tighten and volume stayed low, I would be looking to buy on a fresh breakout near the $42 area.

I even drew a chart of what I was hoping to see. It looked like this:

Now, fast-forward to today, and this is how the chart has developed…

As I hoped, AMC’s price action has tightened significantly.

This “compression” is being accompanied by a significant drop in volume — another telltale sign that sellers are drying up and a breakout could be imminent.

Trading a Volatile Stock

Now, AMC is a volatile stock. It can move 30% or more in a single session.

Therefore, we need to spot the upside turn as early as possible in order to find a low-risk entry point.

At this point, here’s how I’m looking to play it…

My entry trigger will be a move above the Oct. 8 high of $38.78. This means placing a buy stop order at $38.80.

Once filled, I will place a sell stop order at $33.70.

So, if AMC takes out the September low, I will exit the trade automatically.

This equates to a total risk of 13% on the trade.

For aggressive traders that want to play it tighter, you could place your stop beneath last week’s low at $35.60.

This would bring your risk down to 8.25%.

However, in that scenario, you run the risk of choking off the trade too quickly if it doesn’t shoot up right out of the gate.

I’ll continue to update you on AMC as the trade progresses, so be sure to check back soon.

Embrace the Surge,

Even Bill Gates himself has said that generative AI has “peaked” and that the next version of ChatGPT won’t be much better than the current version.

So where will the next wave of AI innovation – and profits – come from?

I'm a new member of 'Insider Effect' and sent a support email and was responded to within minutes. It starts very well.

I'm happy I recently opted in to the Ross Givens's Trading Club at Traders Agency (at the best and fairest offer I could possibly get). I'm new to trading U.S. stocks and options on a regular basis but it doesn't matter, Ross does all of the hard work for me while I'm trading at my own pace (he knows how to trade successfully most of the time and I know that I won't win every trade. Fair enough). He and his great team share a lot of their trading experience in live sessions. Great job. Thanks a lot!

I started with Ross Givens and Trader's Agency GOLD in September of this year and have had some significant success on all but one of the trades he suggested. I have actually made 157% in profits over what I paid to join Traders Agency within my first 30 days. I am no stock expert and I want to know more about how to invest in the market. Ross's videos and strategy sessions are very insightful, and you can chat during the sessions to get his feedback. He's got all the tools at his disposal and has set up some good algorithms in order to help one understand the chaos and fundamentals to watch for in order to make a good investing decision. I have had other investment "helpers" that never yielded what I have within such a limited amount of time. I think Ross, and his team, is the "Real Deal"
