Entry Rationale
We considered entering based on the judgment that the likelihood of breaking through the resistance level increases once the effects of the price increase become visible.
Texas Instruments forecasts Q3 revenue of $5.65B-$6.15B as it starts customer-by-customer price increases
Texas Instruments (TXN) has begun implementing price increases for specific customers and forecasts third-quarter revenue to be between $5.65 billion and $6.15 billion.
We considered entering based on the judgment that the likelihood of breaking through the resistance level increases once the effects of the price increase become visible.
The effects of the price increase are becoming evident. If the stock reaches the resistance level of 310 and the profit-taking target of $320.0, I will take profits. Conversely, if the stock falls below the stop-loss level of $280.0, I will cut losses.
The RSI(14) is at 41.3, which is not in the oversold range, but it is advisable to enter after confirming upward momentum.
I attempted to enter the market, anticipating a breakthrough of the resistance level through the effects of a price increase; however, the actual result was a loss of -10.4%, breaching the stop-loss price of $280.0. At the time of entry, the RSI(14) was 41.3, indicating it was not in the oversold range, but I failed to sufficiently confirm the upward momentum. The lack of momentum and inability to adequately defend against downward pressure during the decline in the $260 range (closing price on August 20 was 265.6, and on August 21 was 263.37) remains a point of regret.
Through this transaction, we confirmed that simple positive news or optimistic outlooks are insufficient for determining entry timing during a downward trend. In the future, we will enhance our principles by adjusting entry proportions and timing only after a clear confirmation of upward momentum in indicators or visual confirmation of price support near key support levels.
