Dead
SPX DIVERGENCE W/ RSI 1 HRNotice a lower high and a divergence on the SPX hourly chart. I've been watching the RSI for a while now and have noticed this pattern forming for weeks.
Watch for another touch of the upper resistance on the RSI trend line and then back down making a new low.
Should see 2720 for a bounce.
SPX500 - Will this be the top of the Dead Cat Bounce?Looking at the SPX500 Futures:
1. Looks like we could be at the top of a Dead Cat Bounce
2. If this is not the top, a potential tap off the 200 EMA would be where I would expect it to dump
Fundamentally due to covid and the world being under house arrest, I would not expect markets to continue to rally and I am bearish as you can be on a Macro Level.
Technically this is presenting a great short opportunity on open. I will go in with 50% of my position around where we are when we open, the other 50% I will add at the 200EMA and set a stop above it with room for a wick just in case.

Short BEL 20 indexAs seen there is a historical low resistance level @3123.7, and a fibonacci ratio of 0.382 @3091.265
I've tried to draw the small bullish trendline which will be colliding with these very soon.
This might indicate an end of this short term increase and a fallback to the bearish trend known as the CoVid19 crash or atleast a long term battle trying to break through this heavy resistance level.
M: Macys worth a gamble?Not encourging anyone to jump on a stock that has had a continuous bear trend even through the greatest US market run in history, but it may be worth a gamble here. If it can recover (as it has in the past) the gains could be fairly absurd. As you can see, buying in now and then achieving its previous high will be almost a 600% gain. Again, not encouraging anyone to buy something that has been on a downward spiral since 2015. :)
Inverted Dead Cat BounceAnalysis on BTCUSD with the pattern Inverted Dead Cat Bounce, that happens after a Dead Cat Bounce. Price rises more than 15% in one day after a downtrend, showing a 4 weeks possible scenario. At the end of this period, there would have some opportunities to buy again. Sell on the 1-2 day of the event. A White Spinning Top candle pattern appeared at the start of the second week of the event, with high wicks on top and bottom of the candle, showing indecision.
IOTA extinction I look at the chart and what I see? An exponentially decaying price, down 97.5% of its ATH. I pity the poor souls who bought the top.
What else? It fell under its bottom longterm trendline and now it is just testing it. My god this coin is so dead, I won't be surprised if they shut down its network tomorrow...oh wait.
S&P Dead Cat Bounce?So I have shorted the S&P on the 4 hour due to this pattern:
Very nice break, and as you can see on the 4 hour we have YET to make a lower high swing in this downtrend move. Trends are composed of multiple swings.
I do like what I see on the daily chart. When an instrument has moved down close to 3% in a day, it is likely over extended. I can see a bounce here before a move down lower forming our first lower high swing on the daily chart and also a head and shoulder pattern. So a dead cat bounce perhaps on the cards here. But to me, it is just plain old market structure.
Medic, quickly!If this one bar doesn't stop the drop,
gonna go to sleep.
Because it will be either the bulls from now on
(It's the last chance for bullish run)
or
the bears will drop to 6999(IMHO - possible, but unprobable) or less.
I personally believe in this soldier
and so should you(was watching closely 7200 all day - I'm telling ya - it's a TOUGH NUT, the bulls are with guns patroling 7200. The bears must panic in agony)!
MATICBTC Dead cat bounce 100%+As you can see MATIC experienced a severe drop to the upward trend line but then rebounded ~100%, dead cat bounces are a great way for swing traders too make money if they are paying attention..
BITCOIN TARGET HIT - WHAT'S NEXT?What a week we had in crypto market!!!
Our target of $6650 was met precisely! I mentioned that we should expect $500-$1000 candle, and we had 500$ move couple days after.. :)
I expect consolidation of some sort to be seen before bullish rally.. Orange box is consolidation zone 0 if we close above on daily - longs can be opened with best R/R ration depending on your trading management.
Next target is $7750-$7850 region with possible spikes to ~$8000.. Only closing daily above $8500 would switch my bias and it can turn out to be strong bull rally - until then, I'm sticking to the green regions as my TPS
Keep in mind that we have important zones to cover lower than our recent low - that's why I think it will be just a "dead-cat-bounce" before continuation lower.. A lot of choppy price action to be expected too! *Don't forget to take profits if you see market turning around at crucial zones.
This is not a financial advise. Have a good one!
MNK: DEAT CAT BOUNCE OPPORTUNITYMNK is dead or almost dead. Often times there is a dead cat bounce in stocks like these, as 'everybody' gets the same idea to throw some money at it.
This is a high risk scenario but with potentially good risk to reward ratios.

Dead Cat Bounce - A Spooky PatternIntroduction
Its halloween ! And i felt like making a post about spooky stuff related to trading. I wanted to discuss about what is a zombie economy but i clearly don't have the time nor the experience to do that. So instead i'll talk about the dead cat bounce, a pattern commonly found in downtrending (bearish) markets, this pattern is also known as "Bear market rally".
We'll describe the pattern, its causes, its upsides and downsides. Unfortunately my knowledge on price patterns is relatively low, if you feel the need to correct me leave a comment.
Brace Yourself The Dead Cat Is Coming !
A dead cat bounce is a pattern appearing during downtrends, this pattern is associated to a brief upper movement (recovery) followed by a continuation of the downtrend, therefore the pattern can be classified as a retracement.
Terminology
The term "dead cat bounce" comes from the saying that "Even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height", physics won't necessarily agree with that but the phrase can be deconstructed in order to explain the pattern described :
"Even a dead cat will bounce if it falls from a great height "
- Dead : Refer to the downtrend.
- Bounce : Describe the motion of the pattern.
- Great Height : Emphasis on the prior downtrending movement magnitude.
Causes Of A Dead Cat Bounce
Causes of certain motions in prices fluctuations are hard to describe, the structures (trends, cycles/seasonality...)/patterns in price can be either : stochastic (the pattern is formed because of a realizations of random fluctuations) or deterministic (the pattern is formed because of certain external causes).
A deterministic cause of a dead cat bounce is described by Kolja Johannsen as investors taking excessive risk and unprofitable positions in order to recover an initial loss in a declining market, the accumulations of those investors as well as investors believing in a reversal participate in the creation of this upward movement.
Upsides Of Dead Cat Bounces
When a security allow short positions, dead cat bounces allow late investors to go with the downtrend from a more interesting point.
In stock markets they can allow investors to potentially profit from the bounce, however such strategy require extremely precise timing, one must make sure to sell at the maximum of the retracement. Such methodology make the investor exposed to the continuity of the downtrend, thus making the risk reward extremely uninteresting.
Downsides Of Dead Cat Bounces
A dead cat bounce like any retracement is a parasitic motion in the main trend, they might make investors believe in a reversal, in a mathematical standpoint those parasitic motions affect technical indicators, this is where robustness is required, robust indicators might be able to ignore the dead cat bounce.
The dead cat bounce deform the main trend and therefore can add complexity to a trend model.
Above a simple linear trend, we can describe it as a simple line + white noise, such equations are called equations of motions. However describing a dead cat bounce mathematically might require additional complexity.
Detecting/Avoiding Dead Cat Bounces
Classifying upward movements as either a retracement or reversal is no easy task, however we can still make use of several tools in order to detect or avoid dead cat bounces.
The first tool being filters, filtering a dead cat bounce can be made using a low pass filters (filter noise/cyclic components) or notch filters (filter cyclic components). The filter setting must be adjusted in order to be able to filter the pattern.
Blackman filter of period 100
Rolling max/min with period 100 (Donchian channels), no highest low have been detected here, witch allow us to remain with the main trend, note that rolling max/min are also low pass filter.
Another approach might be made using support and resistances, we can see that both the minimum/maximum of the dead cat bounce are both pullbacks, altho this observation is clearly insignificant and lack logic (like most technical analysis approach) unlike the previously discussed method.
Conclusions
Altho my experience on patterns is low, i hope i could teach you something new in this post. Dead cat bounces make parts of those disruptive patterns that might make us take a bad position, we have also seen that they can be made from the emotional bias from investors, that is premature re-entering of a declining market, which is never a good idea. Finally we discussed methods to filter/detect such pattern.
Like most patterns in technical analysis their detection/interpretation is relatively subjective to the user, the uniformity/complexity of stock market prices make detection of patterns quite complex. But the most important thing to take from this post is that strategies robust to retracements can help the investor make better decisions, going long because of a dead cat bounce is not a enjoyable experience, that cat wasn't so alive in the end...Happy Halloween !
