Accenture warns of slowing growth — bet against IT consultants
Created
Thesis
Accenture is viewed as a bellwether for global IT and corporate spending. When they warn that companies are pulling back on their tech budgets, investors instantly assume competitors and overseas tech firms will face the exact same struggle. This panic spreads quickly, making it a good opportunity to bet against the consulting sector until the dust settles.
Strategy approach
Build a breakdown short strategy for ACN. Entry conditions: Stock gaps down on the daily chart and breaks below the low of the previous day's candle with a 1.5x ATR(14) volume multiplier. Exit conditions: 4% profit target or a close back inside the prior day's range (invalidating the breakdown). Max hold of 5 trading days.
