VantagePoint Software Prediction

When using the VantagePoint software in your trading, the predictive blue line acts as your North Star.  When the predictive blue line rises above the black line it is the first indication that an UPWARD trend is forming.

VantagePoint began to showcase signs of a trend change on MACY’S on 11/6/20.   The Neural Index (The Green/Red Bar below the candles) turned green accompanied by a trend change in the medium term forecast (the Predictive Blue Line moving above the Black Line.)  These two indicators when paired together provide a very reliable guide for determining future price action.

The momentum upward was evident the following day with a huge move up, followed by a three-day retracement.  The Neural Index, returned to green on 11/13/20 and the trend began to resume upward.

Over the last year Macy’s (M) has had a 52 week low price of $4.38 and a 52 week high price of $18.57.    This annual price range equates to $14.19.  The artificial intelligence has captured $4.27 a share in just the last 13 trading sessions.  This provide a pretty good idea of how artificial intelligence will focus your energy on the right market, at the right time.

It is not uncommon for companies like MACY’S (M) to rise seasonally before major holiday events like Christmas.

From a fundamental perspective, earnings are important:  Macy’s on Nov. 19,  lost 19 cents per share during the third quarter, as revenue fell 23% to $3.99 billion .  Same-store sales fell 21%. However, none of those figures were as bad as analysts expected.  Digital sales jumped 27% during the quarter, but that was slower than the 53% growth logged in the second quarter.

In generations past, Macy’s defined the possibilities of retail penetration. What started as a New York City dry goods shop in the 1850s grew to include Bloomingdale’s and became a holiday beacon, with its own holiday parade.  However today Macy’s has stiff competition from Amazon, the online leader in eCommerce.

With the Vantagepoint software as momentum is rising, the Artificial Intelligence signals that the best purchasing opportunities are at or below the predictive blue line .
