YieldMax PYPL Option Income Strategy ETF

The Fund seeks to have current income, and its second objective is to seek exposure to the share price of the Class A common stock of PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL), subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund uses a synthetic covered call strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price. 

Technical Observation (on the daily chart): 

PYPY's price has shown remarkable resilience in the face of lower levels, and recently experienced a significant upswing in previous months. However, the price has failed to breach its recent highs, instead drifting lower, indicating the possibility of a range-bound movement in the near term. If the price were to pull back towards its key support levels, it could attract significant buying interest, potentially providing a buying opportunity. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently below its midpoint, suggesting that further consolidation may be imminent at these levels. Furthermore, PYPY is trading below its 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which could act as temporary resistance in the short term, potentially limiting upside momentum.

Individuals can evaluate the ETF based on the support and resistance levels provided in the report in case of keen interest taking into consideration the risk-reward scenario. 

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and prevailing geopolitical tensions. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.

How to Read the Charts?

The green colour line reflects the 21-period simple moving average (SMA) while the red line indicates the 50- period simple moving average (SMA). SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving average, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend.

The black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.

The blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the ETF. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. ETFs with high volumes are more liquid than ETFs with lesser volume as liquidity in ETFs helps with easier and faster execution of the order.

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.

Technical Indicators Defined: -

Support: A level at which the ETF prices tend to find support if they are falling, and a downtrend may take a pause backed by demand or buying interest. Support 1 refers to the nearby support level for the ETF and if the price breaches the level, then Support 2 may act as the crucial support level for the ETF. 

Resistance: A level at which the ETF prices tend to find resistance when they are rising, and an uptrend may take a pause due to profit booking or selling interest. Resistance 1 refers to the nearby resistance level for the ETF and if the price surpasses the level, then Resistance 2 may act as the crucial resistance level for the ETF. 

Stop-loss: It is a level to protect further losses in case of unfavourable movement in the ETF prices.
