Are you on leave for the rest of the year?
Where are you going to spend New Year's Eve?
I may laze around at home this year, given the wave of COVID and flu cases.
Last week, I'd shared about Teleflex's (TFX) share performance and the key price level I'm waiting for.
Its share price has begun to pull back as anticipated. I think that there's more, so you may want to continue waiting with patience.
And as we wait, you'll want to consider this week's stock pick: CrowdStrike (CRWD).

Shall we analyze the shares of CrowdStrike further?
How Explosive Is CrowdStrike (CRWD)?

In the past 9 months, its shares have exploded upwards on 14 occasions!

The Strategy You Can Use To Swing Trade CrowdStrike (CRWD)
After comparing the performance of CRWD with the broader US stock market, determining whether CRWD has experienced explosive up moves, and identifying its key price levels, it’s time to talk strategy.
To stay in business, you must know your entry, profit-taking, and stop loss levels in every trading strategy. Yes, trading is a business, which means that your strategy must be well thought out.
Using The Art of Explosive Profits (AEP) framework, I’d like to see CRWD pullback and bounce at $234 before considering an entry for a swing trade.
