Currently, after hours, FB hit that 50DMA (208.44) as a resistance, but if we see a tech rally, FB is prime to test 235 this week. With after-hours price action, we see a nice falling wedge break out. Based on the after-hours price on FB, keep an eye on the 208 level, if FB can break above with volume, it can test 215 to 224 level resistance. Above 224 level, it can test 228 to 230 level resistance. Above 230 can test 235 (HARD RESISTANCE) to 240 level resistance. We will consider puts if FB fails to hold above the 200 level, as it can pull back down to 197 (9DMA) to 190 level support. Below that can drop down to 182.

Above 208 or B/T 200 level: 210C 04/29 (12.1K Volume @ 1.70)
Below 200 level: 180P 04/29 (6K Volume @ 15.00) – Watch for huge premium crush

$SQ – The stock fell 0.54% during market hours but was up 2.32% after hours. SQ popped after hours from PYPL’s earnings report but one thing to note is that SQ price action is moderately affected by BTC movement.
