AEPC trade ideas
AEP bounce swing playGreen Hammer at the bottom of a down trend, and yesterday confirmed reversal. Since Yesterday it closed in a green doji the move is still undecided. Given bullish sentiment to the market and the increased volume in this stock the past 2 days, it could either consolidate here or keep rising. I don' see any bearish momentum at all. Given that this bounced from the oversold area and has a big gap up potential, this is a good swing trade going long.
Price action trading is almost everythingI am sure you’ve probably heard about price action trading. It’s not the name of an American action movie 🙂 You will read price action on every financial web site and media when they refer to the movement of any stock of Forex cross pair. Price action is the movement of the underlying stock price plotted over time. It is said to form the basis for all technical analysis of any stock, commodity, futures or any other asset.
Many traders like me will rely exclusively on stock price action and supply and demand imbalances to make trading decisions. Candlestick formations and trend analysis is a very powerful weapon you must have in your stock trading arsenal. It can help you a lot at making trading decisions.
Price action trading requires patience, moreover if you are a supply and demand trader like me. We will see strong moves in a given direction and then once the movement has been made, I will have to wait for the pullback. That requires time, even more so when using timeframes like the weekly.
Trading price action requires a lot of practice. The underlying candlestick formations can tell us a lot about the market players involved in any move. You can see such an example in the stock price action analysis shared below for American Electric Power (NASDAQ: AEP) stock. This American stock is a major investor-owned electric utility in the United States of America, delivering electricity to more than five million customers in eleven American states.
Pay attention to the price action on American Electric Power (NASDAQ: AEP) stock. There bullish impulse drawn in blue is said to be a demand imbalance. The strength of the bullish move is made of several wide candlestick bodies. It’s the strongest formation that has happened on AEP for months. Hopefully, it will play out nicely. So far, it’s trying to rally. There is a lot of profit potential.
Great Longterm stockWeekly and monthly since 2009 wonderful channel up, now consolidation since three weeks in a flag-like zone. Seeing how the previous 5 times after earnings shares came back a lot, I would wait for a retest of the ascending trendline and then trying to find an entry at around 84-86. For the long term its a wonderful stock.
American Electric Power - Good risk to reward stock trade idea! Looks like a good setup to go long. It may take couple of weeks to hit the target, but good wait for 1:2 risk to reward ratio.
