Alfen May Collapse SoonThis chart could be a perfect example of why you should use caution when dealing with a volatile price chart. We’ve seen this with Bitcoin recently: The price goes up in a steady line, maybe in a parabolic fashion, before the trend weakens.
A slowing down of a trend is not necessarily bad. For example: the price went up almost 30% between the first and the last sell signal (the ones at the top). However, it is clear that the price is struggling making more convincing highs.
However, be cautious when you see this pattern at the top. A slowing down in a trend after the price went up exponentially is bad. That means that the buyers are exhausted.
So to come back to this stock. The price went up exponentially, slowed down, went volatile, and now is below the resistance area. This convinces me that the price will go lower sooner or later. With charts like these, you could be looking at a drop of at least 40% to 50% from the current price.
Aex-index
AEX 2nd crash in progress?After the fake out, the scenario suddenly looks the same as in February and March. Small support lines do not seem to have a grip. And the price is totally separate from the 200, 50, 20, 10 MA. The death cross seems like a matter of time. The question is at what pace will this happen. And when can the price find support to drop even further. (Or am I pessimistic ..?)
AEX Bearish VersionLooking at the AEX i chart, this bearish pattern is quite easy to spot. At the previous two tops AEX printed:
A high (yellow)
Followed by a higher high with a drop to the low of the yellow zone (green)
Followed by a retracement to around mid green zone and a big dump (red)
Retest of support turned resistance (orange) with a final big dump afterwards.
I’m not a big fan of Head and Shoulder patterns but this one is too obvious to ignore. The current pattern we’re in can be drawn in two ways. The one I have and one with the yellow circle as the left shoulder.
So obviously this would mean a big drop would happen if this one plays out (I’m not convinced). The AEX is a capitalization-weighted-index with three companies having a total weight of 43,46%(!) of the total index:
ASML Holding (semiconductors)
Royal Dutch Shell (oil & gas)
Unilever (personal products)
It’s interesting to watch how these company go through the Corona pandemic.
Why is this pattern useful? Invalidation is nearby . If we surpass the green zone it’s likely the ‘corona-low’ is already in and we go for new highs.
This is just an idea.
AEX looks the same as 2002In 2002 the AEX made a big drop to 380 points. After that point the AEX made a rally up to 528 points. Back to now, this year we als made a big drop to 390 points. 29 april we reached the 528 points. Yesterday we saw a big red candle, does this mean we have seen the top? If we look back at 2002 the answer is yes ;)
AEX Is Inside a Rising Wedge, After Struggling at the 0.500 Fib Let's look at the Dutch AEX index. The prices seem to not have recovered as much as the american stock markets, giving us more opportunity to trade with higher percentage gains. However, I am starting this one with my analysis on an upcoming short trade.
I'm not a huge fan of this inverted fibonacci retracement, but saw it getting very popular on charts recently to model the big Corona drop. If we use this charting method, we do see the price struggled quite a bit to overcome the 0.5 fib level.
After oscillating quite a bit in this rising wedge, we are reaching the point where the price will need to make a decision soon.
A rising wedge is a bearish pattern, so I expect a bearish breakout after reaching still slightly higher. possibly around the 525 level.

AEX 485-500 Short Opportunity2001:
AEX broke the 4 year positive trendline and from that moment dropped 57% in the following 105 weeks.
After breaking that trendline the price recovered until slightly above the initial break point. From there the real downward rally continued. In hindsight this point of recovery would have been an excellent short opportunity.
2008:
AEX broke the 5 year positive trendline and from that moment dropped 57% in the following 61 weeks.
After breaking that trendline the price recovered until slightly above the initial break point again (just like in 2001). From there the real downward rally continued again (just like in 2001). In hindsight this point of recovery would have been an excellent short opportunity again (just like in 2001).
2020:
AEX broke the 11 year positive trendline, a similar thing that happened in 2001 and 2008.
The price dropped sharply but is now recovering slightly. If the price recovers the next few weeks to 485-500 this would give a similar short opportunity as we have seen in 2001 and 2008.
Let me know your thoughts :)
PS: a more or less similar opportunity can be spotted when looking at S&P500 and DJ30.

Death CrossThe death cross occurs when a short-term moving average crosses over a major long-term moving average to the downside and is interpreted by analysts and traders as signaling a definitive bear turn in a market.
The death cross is a technical chart pattern indicating the potential for a major selloff.
The death cross appears on a chart when a stock’s short-term moving average crosses below its long-term moving average.
The death cross indicator has proven to be a reliable predictor of some of the most severe bear markets of the past century: 1929, 1938, 1974, and 2008
As we can see it occured in 2008 aswell and the chart and other indicators (RSI and stoch RSI, but also ichimoku cloud and few others) are almost indenticial to when the crash in 2008 happened.
The AEX will take a big hit and may fall to 0.786 fib. level and perhaps lower.
