EL shooting star reversal candleEL has been cropping up on my lists quite a lot recently - overall it is an upwardly trending stock and has been since 2009/2010. However, the trend is not at all easy to trade - even for a longer-term trend trader.
There have been many periods of extended consolidation - the duration (rather than the depth ) has been the main sticking point. In the last few months (since breaking above the 2014 high) the trend has become at little more linear - but not enough to feel confident for a straightforward trade.
Yesterday price gapped up on higher volume (and the earnings announcement) but the shooting star candle was extremely bearish. This suggests a reversal (at least in the near-term).
While I anticipate EL continuing to trend up it is not a stock which is simple to trade. I will bypass this one at this stage.
