Decision point for $HSYNYSE:HSY HSY has reached the resistance trend line in its current channel. That doesn't mean it HAS to go down now, it could very well bust through, or chop around just below for a bit. The Stochastic indicator is pegged out at 100 on the monthly, but can easily ride there for months to come. The daily and weekly Stochastic still has room either way. If it gets rejected over the next two days, I will initiate a short position using put options. If it pops above the resistance, I will attempt to play a pullback to test that breakout, then enter long. If neither of these happen convincingly, and it chops around right here at this spot, I will sit on my hands until it chooses a direction. Just good to know when a stock reaches a critical moment so that you can put alerts on the trend line and make your bet. Happy hunting!!
HERSHEY (HSY:NYSE) - Nice consistent run. Popped resistance.HERSHEY (HSY:NYSE) - Nice consistent run. Popped resistance.
Hershey has been running nicely. Moving averages diverging, volume starting to come through. Has broken above resistance and has tested it once and bounced so might start to establish it as support. Its chocolatey goodness might be worth a watch.

Using Bollinger Bands Indicator with HSY Created by John Bollinger, this three lines allow us to visualize a “security” zone, generated by the average of closing prices. Some traders believe that if the prices move to the upper line, means that those shares are overbought. If the line of prices move to the lower line, then the shares are oversold. Using Bollinger bands properly isn’t easy as that, why? Well, this indicator is supposed to be use as a trading system considering 22 rules, as his creator indicated.
As we can see, as the lines get squeezed, the shares have low volatility. As the bands move apart and the area between them is bigger, volatility increase.
