Conclusion, Investment Implications, Strategy

Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR) is amid favorable conditions to resume its November 2020 Strategic advance from major underlying support near $63.32, which has been tested and held over the past week.  A sustained rise above this area would target an additional 14% rise to $75.00 per share.  This is an Asbury Value trade idea.

The rightmost green highlights in Chart 1 below show that IBKR is currently rebounding from a Jun 18th test of its 200-day moving average, a widely-watched major trend proxy currently at $63.32 while also rebounding from monthly (our Tactical time period) oversold extremes.  The other green highlights show that similar oversold extremes closely coincided with every Tactical bottom since September 2020.  These conditions set up a low-risk buying opportunity to buy a significant correction in an uptrending stock just above major support, with a favorable risk/reward profile.  If the current major uptrend in IBKR is still valid, this is where it should resume.

Chart 1

A sustained rise above the $63.32 area would indicate this is indeed the case and would target an additional 14% rise to $75.00 per share. 

Table 1 below shows that considering the aforementioned upside target and a protective stop placed below the $63.08 area, a long entry price of $66.09 would provide a 1:3.0 risk/reward ratio (risking $1.00 to make $3.00) with an initial risk of 4.6%.
