Trade Idea – OKTA
OKTA is a security name which is a follow-up to the security stock idea from Tuesday. Security stocks started moving Tues with the large beat by PANW. Today’s catalyst is an upgrade and target raise to 310. Stock is extended so look for a pullback. Daily chart is prime for a daily breakout which can lead to higher prices
