KEY LEVEL

BIG has a key level of overhead supply now after the gap down on earnings. Overhead supply level is into $34.00. Key demand exists at $31.00. These levels give us a guide of risk to setup a nice swing trade.

THE TRADE

Any bounce back up into overhead supply at $34.00 area is a nice entry for a swing short. The stop would be over the $35.45 and targets would be $31.00 and $28.00.
