This is a straightforward play on a fundamentally weak company with bad press, a broken business model, an unsustainable P/E ratio, and technical patterns lining up for a significant move. The Head & Shoulders (H&S) pattern is the main focus, and this trade hinges on the neckline holding. If it breaks above the neckline, the trade is invalidated.
Trade Plan Details 1. DCA INTO PUTS: Entry Zone: Short at the $230–$240 range. March Contracts: Target $180 or $150 puts, depending on risk appetite. Use DCA to average into puts, increasing position size as CVNA nears $240 (neckline resistance). 2. POSITION SIZING: Start with 1 contract at $230, double at $235, and max out at $240. This ensures a manageable risk-reward setup while preparing for the H&S invalidation above $240. 3. TARGETS: Short-term Target (50% Fib): $177 (Fib retracement). Long-term Target: $133 (next major support). Potential for 1:8 risk-reward ratio, making this a high-reward opportunity. 4. STOP LOSS: Stop out if CVNA breaks above $240 (neckline) and closes above it on the daily chart. Key Supporting Arguments Fundamentals: Who wants to buy a car online without a test drive? Sky-high P/E ratio indicates overvaluation, unsustainable in a rising rate environment. Technicals: The H&S neckline around $230 is the critical resistance level. Break of the neckline confirms the bearish continuation. Fib Retracements: 50% Fib ($177) is a realistic target. 61.8% Fib ($133) offers additional downside if momentum continues.
