Just how much more can the downtrodden hospitality industry take?
I remember when Covid hit, retail bought the dip on airlines as fast as they could, but left hotels alone.
Let’s not forget that disruptors like Airbnb (ABNB) had already put pressure on these traditional stalwarts…
…even when the places you book are full of “surprises”…
Today’s company is one that aims to nail this down and provide “a better way to stay”.
This is the 375-minute chart.
And if this looks like a Cup and Handle pattern to you, you’re in good company.
Let’s check the technicals…
Like most de-SPACed stocks, SOND has been bludgeoned ever since the ticker change…
Now, the old SPAC pattern doesn’t quite work like it did three years ago, but there is a new one that has developed.
Essentially, watch for the ticker change and then wait for a base once the share price falls an ungodly amount of percentage points…
The bottom of the cup here is the base and it appears that SOND is ready for a move to the upside…
On the Support side, I’ve marked the ~$1.70 area with green arrows. Resistance is a dollar or so higher at ~$2.75.
This type of pattern is great when it works out and, for the most part, the success rate is reasonably high… That’s not the same as a guarantee.
There’s a checkered flag by the composite Stochastic on Chris Hood’s Squeeze 4-Pack which is flat and therefore needs a little work.
(You want it pointing upward and above the zero line.)
However, the share price has been flat after moving up — a sign of consolidation prior to a breakout…
Volume has increased, although so has the Short Volume.
The difference here is that, despite the increased shorting, the stock hasn’t fallen.
Sounds like the bears could lose this one…
If you take this for ride, know your levels and when to hit the brakes.2
Keep moving,
