Expected Moves

Catalyst schedules, bull/bear targets, and how historical volatility frames the range.

Expected Moves is Scouter’s core analysis page. It helps you study upcoming catalysts (earnings, launches, regulatory events, and more) and see modeled Bull Target and Bear Floor ranges built from historical price volatility and context — not from options markets.

Open it two ways:

  • Expected Moves — weekly grid of catalysts, then click into a ticker
  • Any quote page (for example NVDA or AAPL) — the research note for one symbol, with a shareable link
Expected Moves — NVDA analysis
Expected Moves — NVDA analysis

Start from the week grid

  1. Go to Expected Moves without searching a ticker.
  2. Scan the Mon–Fri grid for catalyst picks.
  3. Click a cell to open the full analysis for that name.

This is the fastest way to browse “what’s happening this week” without knowing a ticker in advance.

Read a single ticker

Search from the header or open a quote URL. The ticker page is a research note (not a live data terminal):

Header

Ticker, company name, sector/industry tags, plus Share, Lineup, Bench, and paper trade.

Public intro

A short lede that names the next catalyst, then a few curiosity bullets. Logged-out visitors can read this.

The Read

The historical takeaway for this name — how past catalysts actually resolved — as a pull quote above the chart.

Chart

A TradingView advanced chart. The caption under it names the next catalyst and, when unlocked, the modeled bull / bear levels and lean. Scouter does not overlay last-sale from a third-party fundamentals vendor on this tape.

The schedule

A vertical timeline of upcoming catalysts (bull / bear / lean when unlocked), then past events under Past. Every ticker uses this same timeline. Write-up text under a date fills in as the note is ready.

The business

How the company makes money, with SEC filings charts (revenue / net income, free cash flow) and a filings snapshot woven into the prose.

The competition

Where this name actually overlaps peers, with a peer-multiples table. Peer names link to their Expected Moves pages.

Bottom line

A year-frame close: the calendar, the business, and the competitive map — not only the next print.

How the ranges are built (plain language)

Bull and bear levels are research scenarios. Scouter combines:

  • Historical realized price volatility from market prices
  • Time until the catalyst
  • AI-assisted context around the event

Scouter does not use options implied volatility, options flow, or “what the options market is pricing” for Expected Moves. Treat targets as diligence aids, not guarantees or trade instructions.
