Stephen Guilfoyle, a 30-year Wall Street veteran who runs family-owned trading firm Sarge986 LLC, put a new spin on CoreWeave’s stock ahead of the earnings release based on its technicals.

“CRWV is emerging from a bullish reversal double bottom pattern from late October into the New Year,” Guilfoyle said in a report published on TheStreet Pro.

Guilfoyle said the key level to watch is the 200-day moving average. “Occupy and hold this position, I would consider this name a buy. Fail here, absolutely not.”

Guilfoyle prefers to wait and buy at a slightly higher price after seeing how the stock performs around that level, rather than buying now at a lower price, which is riskier.
