$ETR is currently trading at $95.05, below both the 30-day moving average (MA30) of $96.19 and the 50-day moving average (MA50) of $93.89, indicating a bearish trend. The RSI at 38.84 suggests that the stock is approaching oversold territory, which may lead to a potential reversal. However, the price is still within the 60-day high-low range of $86.4 to $98.58, providing a context for potential support near the low end. For a trade plan, consider entering a long position if the price holds above $93.89, with a suggested entry at $94.50. Set a stop loss at $92.00 to manage risk. Target 1 can be set at $96.50, near the MA30, and Target 2 at $98.00, close to the 60D high. This plan leverages the current oversold condition while respecting key moving averages and the recent price range. https://privateprofiteers.com

$ETR is currently trading at $95.05, below the 30-day moving average (MA30) of $96.19 and above the 50-day moving average (MA50) of $93.89, indicating a mixed short-term to medium-term outlook. The RSI at 38.84 suggests the stock is approaching oversold territory, which may indicate a potential reversal or bounce. The recent price action is within the 60-day high of $98.58 and low of $86.4, providing a defined range for potential trades. Directional bias leans slightly bullish given the RSI and proximity to the MA50, which may act as support. Suggested entry: $94.50 (near MA50). Stop: $92.50 (below recent support). Targets: $96.50 (near MA30) and $97.50 (previous resistance). Monitor for any changes in momentum or volume that could affect trade execution. https://privateprofiteers.com

$ETR: The last close at $94.42 indicates a position below the 30-day moving average (MA30) of $96.2 and slightly above the 50-day moving average (MA50) of $93.75. The RSI at 39.71 suggests the stock is approaching oversold territory, indicating potential for a bullish reversal. The recent high of $98.58 and low of $86.4 create a range that supports a cautious bullish outlook, especially given the proximity to the 50-day MA. Suggested entry is at $94.50, just above the last close, to confirm upward momentum. Set a stop loss at $93.00 to limit downside risk. Target 1 is $96.00, aligning with the MA30, and Target 2 is $97.50, just below the recent high. This trade plan leverages the current market context while managing risk effectively. https://privateprofiteers.com

$ETR is currently trading at $96.46, showing a neutral RSI of 52.37, indicating no immediate overbought or oversold conditions. The price is above the 30-day moving average (MA30) of $96.06, suggesting a bullish short-term trend, while the 50-day moving average (MA50) of $93.43 supports this bullish sentiment over a longer timeframe. The recent high of $98.58 is within reach, providing a potential target. Market context shows a 60-day low of $86.40, indicating strong support below current levels.

The U.S. government's new partnership with Westinghouse and Cameco to build nuclear reactors marks a shift in policy and could drive new investments in the sector, according to Bank of America. Analyst Ross Fowler noted that the deal represents a significant financial commitment to next-gen nuclear tech, focusing on Westinghouse AP1000 and BWRX-300 reactors. The U.S. is moving away from a "technologically agnostic" stance to promote specific reactor designs, aiming to reduce costs through scale. BofA believes regulated utilities could benefit from a "build/own/transfer" model, identifying Constellation Energy , Dominion Energy , Duke Energy , Entergy , NextEra Energy , and Southern Company as potential winners. The government and private partners plan to build $80 billion in new reactors with support from Washington, including financing and loan guarantees. $CEG $D $DUK $ETR $NEE
