ADX

Interesting ADX pattern to watch forDuring the past several weeks, I've noticed something evolve in crude oil on the daily ADX called a 'change in dominance'. This is where the ADX is above 20 and the +/-DMI swap dominance resulting is a 'V' type ending to a trend. The setup for the pattern was an ADX reading below 20 resulting in a consolidation in price. Then, price broke out and ADX began to move up. Then, without much of a pullback, price reversed and the -DMI crossed up over the +DMI causing the change in dominance. During this time, price was pulling back but the +DMI was still up so waiting for the two DMI's to cross would have resulted in missed trade. Looking out across other markets now, I see a similar setup in Soybean Oil (which I'm trading on short side). If this is a similar pattern, then two of the three steps have completed and this week should see price move down. DXY is another market that could be setting up the same pattern. It will be interesting this week to see how this plays out. Should it work, it could be an interesting pattern to tuck away for future reference British Pound may be another candidate for this pattern.

Strong Short, Tronox Ltd.Very good short play on Tronox Ltd. This stock has broken its upwards trend posting a lower high after 4 higher highs in a row and it is at the top of the linear regression channel. TROX has bounced off of a resistance line and is experiencing decrease in volume. The MACD is also about to crossover to a sell signal and the Directional Movement Index is showing a downwards trend. Also, the stock is in oversold territory showing at 65 and is about to cross under the 9 Day MA.

Bearish Head and Shoulders forming on SPYA combination of lukewarm earnings for Q1 and talks of an impending Federal Reserve interest rate hike seem to be slowing down the bullish recovery we've seen in the S&P the past several weeks. On the technical side, notice the failure to attain a new high. In fact SPY has consistently been unable to break new highs going back to May 2015, when the bear market truly began. Further, note the bearish head and shoulders pattern forming, Heikin Ashi candles with longer wicks to the downside, and somewhat strong resistance from above via the Ichi Moku Cloud. Recommendations for a short trade: wait for the price to decisively break the neckline with a strong bar. The next fibonacci level serves as a decent profit target at about $200. Note that there is a relative vacuum between the hypothesized entry point and this value, aside from one level of support indicated by the dashed red line. For a stop loss, consider the apex of the right shoulder.

BTC/USD Major Trend StartingCurrent indication is that the new major trend is up. My suspicion is a lot of people are seeing the very long term dashed blue trendline as a significant support line. This looks reasonable to me as well as it has much more significance than the newly dashed red trendline, which has been breached on Bitstamp. The ADX is also at a historic low point, which normally signals a large trend forming. It has already turned up signaling the trend is up (and fits with the monthly uptrend continuing), but obviously this can change at any time. Whatever the final direction that occurs, we can rest assured it's likely to be a rather large move. My suggestion is to act on whatever trading signals you get this month as they are likely to be quite profitable. Also try not to become married to your position as this could be a fakeout for a large downtrend (it should be very clear if this reverses). Good luck everyone, hopefully we can say good riddance to this range.
