EQR: Strong Buying Pressure for REIT

On Friday, we looked at a Monthly Price Chart of   June 24th, 2024 EQR: Strong Buying Pressure for REIT Dear Reader, On Friday, we looked at a Monthly Price Chart of Boston Scientific Corp., noting that BSX's 1-Month Price is trading above the 10-Month SMA signaling a 'Buy'. For today's Trade of the Day we will be looking at an On Balance Volume chart for Equity Residential Property Trust, stock symbol: EQR. Before breaking down EQR's OBV chart let's first review which products and services are offered by the company. Equity Residential is one of the leading, fully integrated, publicly-traded multi-family real estate investment trusts in the United States. This S&P 500 company has a portfolio of high-quality apartment properties in some of the most desirable markets across the country. Confirming a Price Uptrend with OBV The EQR daily price chart below shows that EQR is in a price uptrend as the current price is above the price EQR traded at five months ago (circled). The On Balance Volume chart is below the daily chart. On Balance Volume measures volume flow with a single Easy-to-Read Line. Volume flow precedes price movement and helps sustain the price uptrend. When a stock closes up, volume is added to the line. When a stock closes down, volume is subtracted from the line. A cumulative total of these additions and subtractions form the OBV line. On Balance Volume Indicator ● When Close is Up, Volume is Added ● When Close is Down, Volume is Subtracted ● A Cumulative Total of Additions and Subtractions form the OBV Line Volume flow precedes price and is the key to measuring the validity and sustainability of a price trend.  We can see from the OBV chart below that the On Balance Volume line for EQR is sloping up. An up-sloping line indicates that the volume is heavier on up days and buying pressure is exceeding selling pressure. Buying pressure must continue to exceed selling pressure in order to sustain a price uptrend. So, On Balance Volume is a simple indicator to use that confirms the price uptrend and its sustainability. The numerical value of the On Balance Volume line is not important. We simply want to see an up-sloping line to confirm a price uptrend. Confirmed 'Buy' Signal for EQR Since EQR's OBV line is sloping up, the most likely future price movement for EQR is up, making EQR a good candidate for a stock purchase or a call option purchase. Let's use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for an EQR call option purchase. The Call Option Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a call option trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a flat EQR price to a 12.5% increase. The Optioneering Team uses the 1% Rule to select an option strike price with a higher percentage of winning trades. In the following EQR option example, we used the 1% Rule to select the EQR option strike price but out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don't list the strike price used in the profit/loss calculation. Trade with Higher Accuracy When you use the 1% Rule to select an EQR in-the-money option strike price, EQR stock only has to increase 1% for the option to breakeven and start profiting! Remember, if you purchase an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option and the underlying stock closes flat at option expiration it will result in a 100% loss for your option trade! In this example, if EQR stock is flat at 69.26 at option expiration, it will only result in a 0.6% loss for the EQR option compared to a 100% loss for an at-the-money or out-of-the-money call option. Using the 1% Rule to select an option strike price can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to at-the-money or out-of-the-money call options. This higher accuracy can give you the discipline needed to become a successful option trader and can help avoid 100% losses when trading options. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the powerful profit potential available from trading options compared to stocks. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for EQR on 6/24/2024 before commissions. When you purchase a call option, there is no limit on the profit potential of the call if the underlying stock continues to move up in price. For this specific call option, the calculator analysis below reveals if EQR stock increases 5.0% at option expiration to 72.72 (circled), the call option would make 50.3% before commission.  If EQR stock increases 10.0% at option expiration to 76.19 (circled), the call option would make 101.3% before commission and outperform the stock return more than 10 to 1*.  The leverage provided by call options allows you to maximize potential returns on bullish stocks.
