DOORDASH: Another COVID-Era Venture Bites The Dust

As shown on the following two daily charts, DoorDash Inc. (DASH) has lost 76% of its value, to date, from its IPO closing price of $189.51 on December 9, 2020 -- after spiking higher, twice, to 256.09 and 257.25, respectively, followed by two plunges -- to Friday's close of 45.23.

Beware of these volatile, parabolic one-hit COVID-era wonders, as they may never recover, especially during the current high-inflation environment [classic case in point is Zoom (ZM) as described here]...and pity the buyers at the top!

Cathie Who?

It's a mystery why anyone would take seriously what Ark Invest CEO/CIO Cathie Wood has been, and still is, forecasting for markets, as she's been wrong for months, while her own ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) has lost 76.25% of its value from its high of 159.70 in February 2021 to close at 36.99 on Tuesday, as shown on the following monthly chart and graphs. The bears are still firmly in control of this ETF.

We'll see if it hits its IPO price of 20.42, or lower. If it holds below 40.00, we may see that level reached...possibly sooner rather than later.

ZOOM: A Spectacular Parabolic Rise & Crash

* See UPDATE below...

Further to my previous posts on Zoom (ZM) here and here, its price has plunged to just 9 points above my target of 100.00, as shown on the following monthly chart.

The Sellers have remained firmly in control since it topped out at 588.84 in October 2020...with no signs that is about to change any time soon.

* UPDATE Oct. 21...

ZM continued its selling and closed lower today at 80.98

It's sitting around 11.74% higher from its IPO, after spiking to gains above 700%!

ARKK: Bears Still In Control

An inverted cup and handle began to form in November of 2020 on ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), as shown on the following daily chart.

A bearish moving average Death Cross formed on June 30, 2021 and never reversed after that date.

The bears are still firmly in control of this ETF.

As of last Friday, price is sitting just above the 50-month MA (70.696) and just below the 200-week MA (73.404).

A break and hold below 70.00 could send it down to 40.00, or lower to its IPO price around 20.00.

ZOOM Has Zoomed Out

My previous article on ZOOM (ZM), posted on November 9, 2020, mentioned that it had gone parabolic and had begun to plummet. I also wrote, in a December 30 update, that a drop and hold below 300 would seal its fate.

Since then, it has continued its drop and is well below that level. It's unlikely to reverse anytime soon, inasmuch as Sellers are still firmly in control.

Its next major support is at 100, back where it began its meteoric breakout in March 2020 and ensuing parabolic spike, which peaked eight months later (October) at 588.84.

As the COVID-19 pandemic begins to abate and, instead, become endemic around the world, there will be less reliance on sites like ZOOM on which to conduct business, as people return to their offices.

British Prime Minister Johnson announced this week that he is, in fact, ending most COVID-19 protocols/restrictions and mandates previously in place, due to waning virus outbreaks in his country. 

We may see other leaders follow suit in due course, possibly sooner rather than later, in a bid to stem the massive and unprecedented global economic fallout, caused by the pandemic since January of 2020.

ZOOM: A One-Hit Wonder

I wrote about ZOOM's parabolic spike in my post of November 9, 2020...and predicted in a December 30 update that a drop and hold below 300 could see a further price decline.

Since then, ZOOM has made many attempts to bounce and hold above that level, but succumbed in September of this year, as shown on the weekly chart of ZM below.

It's dropped 66% since October 2020, and as long as its usefulness continues to decline as employees get back to work, I don't see it hitting major support until 100, or lower (to pre-pandemic levels).

"ZOOM" In..."ZOOM" Out!

* See UPDATE below...

Good news was announced today by Pfizer for a possible COVID-19 vaccine...more data will be assembled, then submitted to the FDA for approval in December. 

The research, development, and distribution of vaccines by Pfizer and other companies was established by the Trump administration's COVID-19 Task Force and fast-tracked under their 'Operation Warp Speed' program.

Bad news for Zoom (ZM).

I'm not surprised it's plunged after its 735% parabolic rise in just 10 months this year! Remember what happened to Bitcoin?

We'll see what happens by the end of the year.


Bitcoin refresher...


* UPDATE December 30...

This is not good news for ZOOM...




After three failed attempts by buyers to push and hold ZOOM above 300, it looks like they've fled the scene. ZOOM has lost nearly 50% of its value from its October highs.

A drop and hold below 300 could seal its fate...while a push and hold above 500 could attract serious buyers, once a for all.

We'll see what 2021 brings.
