$LOCO bit surprised this pumped so much. Not like there are even franchises out east. Glad I only had a small short position after an initial pump. Soon enough once the turn around is apparent I'll double my position. Should not be over 13.

$LOCO Good morning, investors. Macro risks remain front and center as tension around the Strait of Hormuz. On the watchlist, $LOCO trades near $13.32 and is up +16% YTD following strong Q4 results and loyalty program upgrades. Among movers, $AIRS surged +52% after a delayed filing sparked speculation, while $OCTO jumped +34% on momentum around its inventory management platform. On the downside, $LANV fell −15% on leadership changes. In volume, $ALIT traded over 76M shares amid accounting investigation headlines.

$LOCO Consumer brand name that traders often watch around earnings and guidance updates. When sentiment shifts the trend can build over several sessions.

As oil approaches $100/barrel here are my reads for today. $USO is looking for its next spike above $120 zone as oil gets closer to $100/barrel, we are right at $97.50+ already went green today, since last update $BATL loves to rip above 22.50 area lot of volume should floor in around 21-21.20 area, keep an eye out for short squeeze above those zones. $POLA looking for a swing from here, near 2.15-2.20 is supply area zone, where it can break out. Been beat up for no reason. Easily back into the 2.40’s from that level. $LOCO $14 target on earnings beat!! #WW
