A Detailed Analysis of Quest Diagnostics, Inc. (DGX)

Speciale Analysis

Hey Trader,


Find Inspiration and Guidance in Acts 2:38 for Your Trading Journey


As traders, we know the importance of making informed decisions and seeking guidance in our journey. Today, I want to share a verse that brings hope and inspiration, not just in our personal lives but also in our trading endeavors.


Acts 2:38: "And Peter said to them, 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"


This powerful message reminds us that transformation and renewal are possible.


Just as we seek to refine our strategies and improve our trades, we are also called to reflect, repent, and open ourselves to divine guidance. Applying this principle to trading:


  1. Reflect and Learn: Just as repentance involves self-reflection, take time to analyze past trades, learn from mistakes, and continuously improve your strategies.

  2. Seek Forgiveness and Move Forward: Don't let past losses or mistakes hold you back. Forgive yourself, let go, and approach each new trade with a fresh perspective.

  3. Embrace Guidance: Allow the "Holy Spirit" of wisdom and intuition to guide your trading decisions. Trust in the process and stay open to insights that can lead to success.


Let this verse inspire you to approach your trading with renewed faith and determination. Embrace the journey of continuous improvement and trust that with each step, you are guided towards greater success.


Wishing you prosperity and inspiration in all your trading endeavors!

A Detailed Analysis of Quest Diagnostics, Inc. (DGX)


Anthony Speciale here with Hawkeye Traders. Today, we’re diving into Quest Diagnostics Inc. (DGX), examining its current breakout, the preceding price action, and volume.


By dissecting these elements, we’ll explore why there's potential for this stock to move higher. As always, a thorough analysis considers both opportunities and risks to make well-informed trading decisions.


The Importance of Price Action and Volume


In any trading strategy—whether intraday, swing, or position trading—understanding the interplay between volume and price action is crucial.


By combining these elements with market context and risk assessment, traders can make more educated decisions and improve their trading outcomes.


Let’s break down how these components come together using DGX as our case study.


Daily Chart Analysis


The chart we're analyzing is a daily chart, where each candle represents one full day’s trading from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).


Each candle shows the high, low, open, and close prices within this period.


Chart Analysis

Key Observations on DGX


  1. Ultra High Volume Candle:

  • We identified a specific candle with ultra high volume. This candle followed a period of aggressive selling, indicating a significant buying interest that pushed prices up.

  • The price pushed into prior resistance levels but was initially rejected, a critical point to consider for potential future movements.

  1. Support and Resistance Levels:

  • After the aggressive buying, the price pulled back into a support level, which was previously a resistance level.

  • Despite testing this support, the price did not close below the high-volume candle, indicating that buyers were still active.

  1. Volume and Price Relationship:

  • The initial rejection at resistance and subsequent support hold suggest strong buying interest.

  • A critical observation is that the price closed above the high-volume candle after a brief consolidation, indicating a potential breakout.



Market Context and Risk Assessment


When analyzing a potential trade, always consider the broader market context and assess the risks. Here’s how we do it for DGX:


  1. Price Action and Market Context:

  • The price action shows higher lows and higher highs, indicating a strong uptrend.

  • Each pullback into support levels held firm, and subsequent moves higher were on increased volume.

  1. Potential Upside and Profit Targets:

  • Identify key resistance levels where the price might face challenges. For DGX, these levels are around $148.50, $150.20, $154.40, $156.20, and $158.30.

  • If the price can push through these levels, we could see it test the highs around $175.

  1. Risk Management:

  • Always define your risk levels. For DGX, consider the possibility of price snagging at previous highs. If the price fails to push past these levels, be prepared to take profits or manage your position accordingly.

Practical Trading Insights

U.S. Government Required Disclaimer Stock, Futures, Forex & Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and it is not appropriate for everyone. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to speculate in the Stocks, Futures, Forex, and Options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose. This is neither a solicitation nor an offer to Buy/Sell any securities. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown on this website.

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

​

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Cryptocurrency Trading Cryptocurrencies on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for everyone. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before getting involved in Cryptocurrency trading you should carefully consider your personal venture objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial deposit and therefore you should not place funds that you cannot afford to lose.

​

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

​

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
