Dark Pool Buy Zone Stages More Gap Up PotentialNYSE:NKE gapped again with a breakaway gap jumping over resistance. These rarely fill and if the gap fills, it will be minimal. Volume was above average. This kind of gap up sequence can happen easily when a classic Shift of Sentiment pattern forms in Accumulation/Distribution indicators as a stock bottoms. But price remains well below the previous gap down. It may gap again as the stock challenges that resistance.

Shifting Sentiment in DIS Ahead of Earnings?NYSE:DIS stock has struggled this year. However, Accumulation/Distribution on this daily chart shows accumulation over the past several weeks. This is a "shift of sentiment" pattern indicating a better earnings report is likely this time.
The sideways trend is compressing and has consistent lows and highs, a common pattern for accumulation. When Accumulation appears well ahead of an earnings report, it usually (but not always) indicates improvement in fundamentals and establishes a base price for the improvement.
DIS is a target for HFTs since it's a household name stock that gets a lot of attention in the news.
ROKU Bottom Formation: Dark Pool Buy ZoneROKU is a good example of a high-risk sell short. The HFT gap was reversed the same day. You are looking at a Dark Pool BUY ZONE. Accumulation/Distribution confirms a shift of sentiment even as this stock turns down at a bottoming resistance level which is NORMAL and expected.
The company reports earnings for the holiday season in mid February. This makes for a common timeframe for a bottom formation's base to develop.
