Original thought was, stays above middle line, bullish, if it goes over top line, bearish, same for crossing under bottom line. But now, I think if it manages to go above the top line, we are in a happy place. Though it isn't guaranteed to happen, let's all remember a month and a half ago we had our previous bottom. We got to the week of Fed FOMC and started a...
Simple answer -- omg look at the losses today -- and yet, most of my indicators and I'm sure many of you are in the same situation, most of my indicators are still saying buy, and the ones that aren't, are saying that we're so overdone that we'll see a bump for the next leg of the market. It's ok to be confused. It's ok to stay out until there's more clarity....
Oh what fun. We know it will eventually dip to $418. We know that'll be before July. Thats.... that's all. Really. Nobody seems interested in touching this, bears or bulls. Not today at least. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Where we go from here is very much up in the air. For any that want to play either bump in the charts, just know that its a very important time and place for both bullish/bearish continuations/traps/reversals/etc Do you believe in the Fed? Do you believe the Fed? Do you believe seasonality? Do you believe we are going to have a break from seasonality? We are...
Did bears just take a dive? One could, or would, usually say that after an onslaught of steady bullish buying, bears finally gave up and covered to close yesterday. But looking at the technical levels and behavior, it seems too perfect today. Is it possible that bears pushed the price up on purpose past all resistances and now, at this price point, there are no...
I really doubt that.... the only way conceivable would be the green curve to the green line. I think we're shaky but bullish, if for no other reason than that we have to be. This is my 'I told you' chart that I'm making public so I can reference it later -- but honestly doesn't help anyone very much right now. Except to say that the moans and groans that you hear...
This is basically just me roughly tracing different moving averages through our most recent adventure in the dip. Many people wondering when a good time to buy might have been. Many people seeing economic optimism and a generally bullish April. I don't remember what my point was. In no way am I bullish yet -- unless you have a timeframe > 1 month. No more rate...
I just wanted a quick dip, profit and exit.... I'm literally stuck with too much capital on too much risk. But in the process I did wake up and realize the potential beauty and deadly possibility of our new favorite drug -- rate increases! If one is to weigh the potential for a recession now vs a month ago, between Ukraine and the subsequent rising gas/food...
From a technical analysis point of view, the current setup is quite straightforward. Pennant, Ascending Wedge, expecting to be followed by another breakout attempt which when fails, will fall back and continue in a sideways rangebound manner. Now, they always tell you to stake your entries and set up your stop losses... so its not guaranteed. But as far as...
Actually this is a small collection of my lessons from today -- specifically the past hour and a half. 1. Indicators are always a lagging indicator. I really don't believe anyone can trade with technical analysis with the actual price chart turned off (though not enough people remind us to look back at the actual chart) and what we all look for in them is follow...
This is both a market that is in a rush to go nowhere and simultaneously a puffed up bag of air ready to be taken away with the next breeze. Using technical analysis would literally be like trying to predict the next breeze based on the previous one right now because there is no substance to any of the moves. So I'm just going to draw some lines. We seem to be in...
small bounce here and continued dip towards friday is possible and maybe even probable. But just for full disclosure, I day trade/ intra day trade and despite medium term support around today's price levels, I'm out to cash already and looking to tomorrow. So if you're long because you think you're following me, the risk/reward outlook right now for me is too muddy.
At least in the short term I think the market just signaled a bottom. America and the world order have fired all their bullets and the situation in ukraine can only get better. With the imposition of oil bans, there are no more steps western powers are prepared to take and prices of things can start stabilizing and uncertainty can take its cloud elsewhere. There...
Generally broad but I'm feeling pretty confident about this much. We'll start at $444 tomorrow, might be a little rocky but general sentiment will be bullish. Slowdowns are scarier than rate hikes/inflation and we'll be looking up till like the middle of March. This at least lays out some super oversold levels, even for those who hate risk and some levels where...
Tons of signals.... plenty of money to be made.... no confirmation, no impetus, no conviction yet on the next movement.
Today is the kind of day we switch to a chart like this. It's got multiple timeframes indicating different phases of previous movements into potential future date ranges. It's got lines to keep an eye on, both potential resistance and support lines, or target price lines. And I think between volume yesterday and today, markets are short term done with being sad...
If you want to play the market, you'll take risks. If you've got a couple months timeframe, it may be a good time to begin your entries. If you've got a couple years, I'm really not sure if I have advice for you. All I should say is that it will bounce back and sometime before 2024, the stock market will be higher than it is today. And I can only 99% be sure of that much.
