Congratulations to Arsenal and its fans for being champions!
It was a tough season, yet you dug deep to become winners after 22 years.
With the English Premier League season over, all eyes are on the World Cup that will be held in Canada, the US, and Mexico. Will this be an awkward World Cup experience for the US and Iran, given that Iran has qualified for the tournament?
Turning to the US stock market, the S&P 500 pulled back last week before launching itself higher. At this rate, we could see another record high next week. And I’m excited to share with you 1 stock that I think is almost ready for a short-term trade.
But before I share my findings, let’s review our previous #PowerStocks pick: Cadence (CDNS).
Review Of Last Week’s Pick Of The Week
Cadence (CDNS) was our previous #PowerStocks pick.
It’s a hugely underrated technology company that designs and develops integrated circuits and electronic devices.
I was expecting its share price to fall to its support zone around $351 before rising. But its share price dipped further before soaring 6.3% in just 2 days! Hence, I’m not complaining.
Now, where am I looking to take profit at?

Why Is Swing Trading A10 Networks (ATEN) Worth It?
Source: a10networks.com
A10 Networks is a technology company that provides networking solutions. Its offering includes hybrid cloud and mobile carrier solutions.
With a market capitalization of $2.1b, A10 Networks isn’t the biggest technology company in the world. But it’s growing rapidly, and this is reflected in its share price that has almost doubled year-to-date.
After rising 16.5% in a month, I smell a pullback around the corner.
This is great news because I would like to buy its shares and capture its next explosive upmove.

Performance Of US Stock Market vs A10 Networks (ATEN)
The very 1st thing I want to know is the trend of A10 Networks’ shares.
Knowing the trend of its shares allows me to determine whether I’d look for a buying or shorting opportunity because following its price trend will sharply increase my chances of profitability.
Looking at the chart above, its shares are in a steady, strong uptrend. Hence, I’d like to find an opportunity to buy its shares.
What’s next?
I’ll compare the performance of its shares against the S&P 500.
Why?
I want my hard-earned money to work hard for me. A stronger-performing stock is likely to continue bringing a larger-than-market return. So, I’ll take another look at the comparison chart above.
While the S&P 500 has risen by only 8.4% over the past 3 months, the shares of A10 Networks have risen by a staggering 53.5%! That’s an outperformance of over 6.3x!
I’m excited. I can’t wait to buy its shares for an explosive swing trade.
Should I do just that now?
How Explosive Is A10 Networks (ATEN)?
No, I shouldn’t rush to buy its shares without a deeper analysis.
Since I plan to buy its shares and capitalize on its next upmove rather than accompanying it when it pulls back, my holding period will be around a week or 2. Therefore, I want its shares to have the ability to explode upwards.
Have the shares of A10 Networks been able to explode upwards consistently?
Marking out the explosive upmoves for the past 11 months has left me stunned.
There are 21 explosive upmoves, with each measuring between 4.5% and 26.2%!
I got more excited when I discovered the size of A10 Networks.
This company enjoys a mid-sized market capitalization of over $2b! It’s no easy feat for the shares of such a company to explode in price consistently.
Additionally, I appreciate that A10 Networks enjoys a market capitalization of over $2b, as this provides an extra layer of security against manipulation. I don’t wish to lose my hard-earned money to manipulation that could be easily prevented!
Here comes the golden question: Is it time to buy the shares of A10 Networks for an explosive swing trade?
Key Price Levels
Timing is crucial for many things in life. This includes stock trading and investing.
Buying an explosive stock at the wrong time can result in significant losses and emotional distress. This will cause you to lose confidence, and you’ll doubt yourself even when a fantastic trading opportunity arises straight from under your nose!
Is there a way to tell whether the time to buy the shares of A10 Networks is here?
Fortunately, yes!
You can do so by uncovering its key price levels (also known as support and resistance zones). And that’s what I’ve done in the chart above.
After rising 16.5% in a month, its shares are likely to begin pulling back soon.
But where is it likely to pull back to? I don’t want to buy its shares while it is falling, to save me from unnecessary heartache.
From the chart above, I’ve identified its support area around $27.70.
There’s a high chance that A10 Networks’ share price pulls back to around $27.70 before rising again.
Therefore, I want A10 Networks’ shares to fall to $27.70 and bounce before I buy them for an explosive swing trade to ride its next huge upmove.
Here’s a pro tip: Instead of staring at your screen, consider setting a price alert on your broker’s platform to be notified so that you can spend precious time with your loved ones.
Which Instrument Should You Consider Using?
Do you ever wonder about the instrument used to trade explosive stocks?
With 3 main trading instruments available – stocks, contract-for-difference (CFD), and options, you wonder which suits you best.
Since stocks (as an instrument) is easy to understand, I shall focus on CFD and options.
Here are the main similarities and differences:
CFD works like a mirror to stocks. When a stock rises $1, its CFD rises $1.
However, due to its unique pricing mechanism, your options price doesn’t rise by the same amount. In fact, depending on the market conditions, the price of your options contract may even drop!
Your CFD broker will charge you a finance fee for lending you money for your trade. However, no lending is required for options, so there is no finance charge.
Because there’s a finance charge by your CFD broker, CFD is not the ideal instrument for mid to long-term trades. On the other hand, options allow you to implement different strategies across time horizons.
Both CFDs and options are leveraged instruments because they allow you to control a larger market position with a smaller amount of capital.
While CFDs do not have an expiration date, options traders must pay attention to the expiration date of their options contracts.
You must be thinking, “What’s the beauty of trading options?”
Options are like smartphones. You can choose to use a smartphone for its basic or advanced functions.
And options don’t have to be all about Math and dry!
It can be made easy to understand through real-life analogies.
In the same way, you can implement basic and/or highly advanced strategies depending on your level of comfort.
Options allow you to be versatile in adapting to the shifting market conditions and capturing opportunities in the process.
Are you a CFD or options trader?
I’m glad to be fluent in both.
