ALMA Averaging Strategy: ALMA 3 / σ2, SD band 2, min diff 1 bar to add / 1 bar to exit, 25% per bar, up to 4 adds, hard stop −10% from average entry. Strategy Tester (NWS 3d): Win rate 70% · profit factor 1.7 · max drawdown 21% Avg winning trade +13.9% · avg losing trade −8.5% Typical hold ~18×3d bars · media / publishing mean-reversion sleeve █ WHY NOW Q3 US cash open — 3-day ALMA long fired on 1 Jul 13:30 UTC on the same bell as monthly APD / ISRG refills. Fresh 3d entry ~ $28.06 — legacy media on a pullback, not a breakout chase. Mark since entry ~ $29.58 (+5.4% open MTM). Hard stop zone −10% from fill ~ $25.25 . Exits follow Pine ALMA flip + min diff or the hard stop. ═ █ MACRO Sector: NWS = print / digital media conglomerate — ad cycle, cable affiliate fees, Murdoch structure overhang. Tape (1 Jul): Defensive media names can tag out on slow grids while mega-cap tech bleeds — same session CMCSA 4h exits hit +9.9% on a sister telecom template. Execution is 3d ALMA mean-reversion, not an ad-revenue forecast. ═ █ OUTLOOK Positive factors - 70% WR · avg win +13.9% vs avg loss −8.5% — positive payoff skew - ALMA — execution TF (3D): LONG · L:1 vs LAvg:4.2 — young above-session on the 3d chart (not time-overheated) - ALMA — 4H: LONG · L:2 vs LAvg:3.7 — young 4h sleeve on the same board - VWAP: spot ~ $29.34 above active Support ~$28.42 (22 Jun) and Resistance ~$28.98 (09 Jun) — same-bar reclaim of both swing VWAP ribbons - SMC — 1D (entry bar ~$28.06): In OB Bull (Normal) · In FVG Bull · OB Enter Normal Bull + FVG Enter Bull — demand tags the 3d add zone - EMA — LTF: 15m/1H/4H all Above · 4H Cur L:1 vs Avg L:10.2 · Dev −0.29% — young above-session at the line Negative factors - SMC — 4H at mark (~$29.37): In OB Bull (Breaker) but also In FVG Bear · FVG New Bear on the entry bar — micro supply printed on the same 4h candle - EMA — slow TF mixed: 1D Below · Cur S:14 vs Avg S:6.2 (+0.09% dev) — daily below-EMA headwind · 1W Below with Cur S:4 - ALMA — 1W: LONG but only L:1 vs LAvg:4.5 — weekly sleeve young yet still inside a slow-grid recovery - 3d bars are slow — +5% MTM is open risk, not a closed win - Media headline sensitivity (regulation, ad slump narratives) - Past backtest ≠ live fills Takeaway: 3D/4H ALMA youth, VWAP reclaim, and daily bull OB/FVG support the refill, but the 4h bear FVG on the same print and daily below-EMA state cap the bounce — treat +5% MTM as open heat, not target reached. Base case: follow the 3d ALMA strategy · hold $28.4–29.0 VWAP cluster · grind toward low-$30s if defensive beta stays bid. Bear case: 4h bear FVG holds · lose 3d ALMA · daily below-EMA extends · −10% toward ~$25.25 hard stop.

NWSA Testing Inverse Head & Shoulders Neckline — Breakout Confir News Corporation / NWSA is currently testing a key resistance zone around the neckline area after forming a potential inverse head and shoulders structure. The setup shows: Left shoulder formed after the first reaction low. Head formed with a deeper shakeout. Right shoulder formed with a higher low. Price is now pressing against the neckline resistance zone. A clean breakout above the neckline could confirm the pattern and open room for further upside continuation. However, confirmation is still important. I would prefer to see price close above the resistance area with strong volume, rather than chasing before confirmation. If the breakout fails, this area may continue acting as resistance and price could return back into the previous consolidation range. Key area to watch: Resistance / Neckline: 30.80–31.20 Bullish confirmation: Daily close above neckline Invalidation area: Right shoulder low / recent higher-low structure This is not a trading signal, only a chart observation and market structure review.

Analysts Adjust News Corp Price Targets Following Strong Results In a notable shift in market sentiment, two major financial institutions have recently adjusted their outlooks on News Corporation (NASDAQ:NWSA). On February 9, Citi revised its price target for the media conglomerate downward to $39 from the previous $40. Despite this slight adjustment, the firm has opted to maintain its Buy rating, signaling continued confidence in the stock's potential. Just days earlier, on February 6, Morgan Stanley also updated its valuation, lowering its price target more substantially to $32.40 from $38. The firm concurrently reaffirmed its Overweight rating. This recalibration followed the company's release of its first-half fiscal year 2026 financial results, which prompted Morgan Stanley to refine its internal projections. Crucially, the firm emphasized that these estimate updates do not alter its core positive investment thesis regarding the company's long-term prospects. A Deep Dive into NWSA's FQ2 2026 Earnings Report The recent analyst activity coincides with News Corp's release of its fiscal second-quarter 2026 earnings, which painted a picture of resilient growth punctuated by strategic wins and lingering challenges. The company reported a healthy 6% increase in revenue, bringing the total to $2.4 billion. Furthermore, total segment EBITDA saw an even more robust expansion of 9%, reaching $521 million, highlighting improved operational efficiency. While net income from continuing operations experienced a 21% decline to $242 million, this figure requires important context. The drop was primarily attributed to the absence of a one-time, $87 million gain that had bolstered the prior year's results, making for a difficult year-over-year comparison. When accounting for this anomaly, the company's underlying performance appears stronger. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) climbed to $0.40, and profitability margins saw a notable improvement, expanding to 22.1%. Segment Performance: Digital Strength Offsets Print Challenges The company's quarterly performance was driven by standout results in its digital-focused segments. Both the Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate segments delivered double-digit profit growth, underscoring the success of News Corp's strategic pivot towards digital services. Dow Jones, in particular, achieved a record-breaking $87 million in digital advertising revenue. Simultaneously, Realtor.com, the flagship of the Digital Real Estate segment, enjoyed a 10% revenue increase. However, the performance was not uniform across the board. The News Media segment faced headwinds, reporting flat revenues and a 5% EBITDA decline. This dip was largely due to the ongoing challenges in the print advertising market, a trend affecting the broader publishing industry. Meanwhile, the Book Publishing segment recorded a 6% revenue increase to $633 million. This growth, however, was partially tempered by a $16 million one-time inventory charge at HarperCollins, illustrating the unique operational costs within that business. Understanding News Corporation and Wall Street's View As a global media and information services company with a market capitalization of $13.6 billion, News Corporation is a significant player in the industry. Its business model revolves around creating and distributing authoritative content and data products across a vast array of platforms, including newspapers, digital properties, books, video, podcasts, and live journalism. The company's diverse operations are structured into five primary segments: Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, Book Publishing, News Media, and Other, serving both consumers and businesses worldwide. Despite the positive developments in its recent earnings report, News Corp's stock performance has lagged behind the broader market. Over the past 52 weeks, NWSA shares have decreased by 17.3%. This performance stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500 Index ( SP:SPX ), which has rallied by 13.1% during the same period. The trend has continued into the current year, with NWSA shares down 9.8% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, while the S&P 500 has seen a marginal rise. This divergence between the company's fundamental progress and its stock price performance is likely a key factor in the ongoing analysis and revised price targets from Wall Street firms like Citi and Morgan Stanley. The central question for investors remains whether the company's digital momentum will eventually translate into a sustained recovery in its share price.

Technical Confluence Breakout from a major bullish reversal (Double Bottom). Reversal after testing the 200D SMA. Strong support zone held firmly at 28.32–28.7.

The Keys to the Murdoch Empire The Keys to the Murdoch Empire: Lachlan Murdoch’s New Leadership Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades The Murdoch family media conglomerate is entering a new phase following the resolution of the succession battle for control of the group. Lachlan Murdoch has consolidated his position as the heir to the empire after reaching an agreement that ends internal disputes among the siblings and redefines the future of two publicly traded giants: News Corp (NWS) and Fox Corp (FOX). The decision is significant. The group’s portfolio includes flagship publications such as The Wall Street Journal and The Sun, as well as the Fox television network in the United States. Rupert Murdoch, the 94-year-old founder and patriarch, has officially handed the reins to Lachlan, while retaining influence as Chairman Emeritus. Fundamental Analysis of the Murdoch Group The agreement eliminates the risk of internal fragmentation: Lachlan’s siblings – Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth, and James Murdoch – exit the family trust, receiving $1.1 billion each, funded through the sale of shares on the market. This decision secures Lachlan’s control and provides governance stability for the companies. Historically, the Murdochs underwent a similar process in the 1990s when Rupert bought out his sisters’ stakes to consolidate control. Repeating this strategy reflects a clear pattern: prioritizing unified leadership over shareholder fragmentation, a key factor in an industry where political and media influence is as relevant as profitability. Looking ahead, the group faces structural challenges: • Transitioning to digital models amid declining print media. • Falling traditional advertising revenues. • Competition from new platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, and independent podcasts. Fox’s bet on its streaming platform, Fox One, will be a critical test of the group’s ability to reinvent itself in a landscape where rivals like the new Paramount-Skydance conglomerate, led by David Ellison, are competing for market share. Fundamental Analysis of the Parent Company News Corp (NWS) • Business model: Diversified across print, digital media, and financial information services (Dow Jones). • Strengths: Globally recognized brands, ability to generate digital subscription revenue, international presence. • Weaknesses: High exposure to declining traditional advertising and margin pressure. Fox Corp (Ticker AT: FOX.US) • Business model: Focused on broadcast television, news, and sports. • Strengths: Leadership in U.S. TV audiences and strategic value of sports rights. • Weaknesses: Reliance on declining cable/TV model and high sensitivity to changes in advertising spend. Overall, stability in family leadership provides market certainty, though the challenge will be combining media influence with technological innovation. Lachlan Murdoch’s leadership could determine whether the group maintains relevance in the digital age or falls behind more agile competitors. Technical Analysis of News Corp Shares closed yesterday at $33.85, showing mixed signals over recent months. Since the recent highs of $35.58, the stock has not revisited that level and has rebounded lower, forming a consolidation area. Currently, a Point of Control (POC) has developed around $32.66, suggesting the consolidation zone may test the 200-day moving average or even the support at $31.20. The 50-day and 100-day moving averages are converging toward a potential bearish crossover. RSI indicates high oversold levels at 38.48, and MACD is in bearish territory. According to the ActivTrades US Market Pulse, risk is in a neutral/mixed zone leaning toward Risk-On, which could trigger an upside breakout. However, the previous session created a gap from a high of $33.68 to a low of $32.45, a $1.23 difference in price. If signals turn optimistic, a recovery toward $35 is possible; if pessimistic, a correction back to the key support at $31.20 could occur to test strength. Technical Analysis of Fox Corp Shares closed yesterday at $53.09, showing a sharp correction back into the price range fluctuated over recent months between $48.42 and $54.98. The high reached two days ago was corrected yesterday with a gap and bearish candle, moving the price below the 50-day moving average but supported by the 100-day average. This correction appears to be a healthy market adjustment toward the median zone, with a POC at $51.26. RSI is neutral at 47.11, and MACD indicates a slight downward correction. The ActivTrades US Market Pulse still places the stock in a neutral/mixed zone that could trigger an upside breakout despite the previous session’s gap. If signals turn optimistic, we could see a recovery to the previous support and a retest of recent highs. If pessimistic, the stock could fall back to the POC zone at $51.31. Conclusions on the Murdoch Empire While News Corp reflects a consolidation scenario with short-term breakout potential, Fox Corp emerges as the technically more attractive asset, with strong trend and favorable momentum. The market appears to reward Fox’s television and sports exposure over News Corp’s more diversified – yet more advertising-sensitive – model. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.

News CORP ,,, Pullback Uptrend In my view, one of the best strategies is finding Pullbacks and getting position after a good trigger. As you see, there is a breakout from ATH and then a good pullback to broken level. There is a good candlestick trigger for entry by setting SL at about 25.4 or below the trend line. Next target can be about 35$.

NWSA - Cup & Handle to Long?NWSA long term profit ? Cup & Handle pattern + Above the average line 150. Caution - results report in a few days! Only an idea and not a recommendation for trading!

The NWS double top is looking even more bearish than yesterday.This chart looks even more bearish than it did a few days ago. Not only does it have a double top pattern and a bearish divergence, but it now has a candle wick that has dropped below the bottom trend line. Certainly not all, but many times, this can be the 'nail in the coffin' that tips off traders that price is about to break out of the wedge pattern to the downside. At this point, I'm extremely bearish, but will be running a tight stop 1.5% above the upper trend line. Good luck, and always use a stop loss!

NWS likely to miss earnings expectation on Feb 7th.Media companies have been getting the pants kicked off them lately, and NWS - News Corporation is at the top of an all time high on the charts, which may provide an incredible opportunity to capture a very sharp decline in the price. Earnings will be released on Feb 7th (next week), and with price sitting at/near an all time high, if earnings are missed, it could present a very rare opportunity for short positions/short plays. Good luck, and always use a stop.

#NWSA# News Corporation (Ticker: NWSA), a diversified media and information services entity, has exhibited mixed signals in recent financial reports. Here's an encapsulated analysis touching upon its financial performance alongside technical indicators as of recent data: Financial Performance: Q4 FY 2023: Revenue: Reported at $2.43 billion, marking a 9% dip compared to $2.67 billion in the same quarter last fiscal year. The decline accounts for a $110 million (4%) benefit from an additional week in the prior year quarter and a $72 million (3%) hit from foreign currency fluctuations. Q3 FY 2023: The company unveiled its financials for the quarter ending March 31, 2023, although specifics weren’t detailed in the snippet. Q2 FY 2023: Revenue: Stood at $2.52 billion, a 7% slide compared to $2.72 billion YoY. Technical Analysis: On the daily chart, the stock is currently navigating through a corrective wave zone. Short-term upward momentum seems to have topped with the peak of corrective wave B at around $22.62, post which a C wave correction is anticipated. The MACD indicator clearly underscores this, showing the upward momentum is waning, and a bearish crossover is on the horizon. The RSI indicator displayed overbought signals post the price touching above $23. Advisory: Combining both fundamental and technical analysis, the advisory leans towards a wait-and-watch stance currently. The suggestion is to eye for a price retrace to $20, followed by a rebound surpassing the previous 5th impulse wave, i.e., $23, before considering entry.

BUY to NEWS CORP NEW Hey my friends, NEWS CORP NEW is in a fake bearish configuration with a fake return of traded sell volume and a marubozu. The TIMEFRAME M1 shows us an upside down short trace hammer candle with a fake return of sales volume executed. It goes towards its last low point which is below the low of the bollinger to make a reversal. Then she will leave again to check the top of the balance zone and the bollinger as a whole. The price is highly prone to breakout with the return of momentum thereafter for the zone to arrive in the next and climb to the top following. With a catching up of the panic before the session to go and test the top of the equilibrium zone and then go to the top of the bullish channel. In order to make a new check of it and take into account the symbolic figure of 20.00. Please LIKE & FOLLOW, thank you!

Big Potential for NEWS CORP Hey people, NEWS CORP is in a fake bearish movement with a large sell volume made and a marubozu form with two legs of which the larger one is the sell one. In the TIMEFRAME M1 we see a shape of water-carrying candle with a large volume of sales executed, it goes to his VWAP to do a reversal to test. Again the bollinger in all these parts and find the top of the stabilization area to test it. High probability of breaking the price afterwards in the zone with the return of momentum to rise in the next one and reach the high point. With testing the top of the bullish channel if investors are back, come over the top of the stabilization zone for test + symbolic number of 19.00. Please LIKE & FOLLOW, thank you!

NWSA Bull Flag Failure or Fake Out?I have a position in NWSA for a Continuation to the upside. Recently, we lossed the 50MA, and the BB:20MA. With the recent activity in SPY and QQQ, I'm speculating that this was a stock that was over sold. You can see the price action extending far outside 2 standard deviations of the Bollinger Bands. I believe that this chart is still looking healthy, although a possible head and shoulders may appear to be forming. I have a tight stop loss.
