April 19th Market Directions

April 19, 2021

Applying the candlestick logic to market trend analysis allows candlestick investors to have the appropriate positioning in their portfolio/trading. This is true for trading stocks, currencies, commodities, any trading entity that involves fear and greed, which is everything. Join us this Saturday, April 24 for a mini spotlight training on the logic incorporated into candlestick analysis that constantly puts the probabilities in your favor. Click here for more information.

Sector rotation is still the predominant factor in this current market uptrend. Note that the Dow, when it consolidates, still has not been able to close back below the T line. The NASDAQ, however, after a dragonfly Doji/hanging man signal on Friday gapped down today indicating a much stronger selling pressure. This would indicate Dow related stocks will maintain uptrends while the NASDAQ related stocks might show some more profit-taking/selling. The analysis of individual trades is greatly enhanced by knowing the overall market nature. You dramatically improve the probabilities of being in the correct trade direction when using candlestick signals to evaluate which stock/sectors have the greatest upside or downside potential.

Chat session tonight at 8 PM ET.

Friday’s dragonfly Doji/hanging man signal in the NASDAQ provided a little warning to watch for profit-taking on a weaker open today. The transportation index was remaining above the T line but with Doji type days, this provided a little bit of warning to watch for a potential reversal. Obviously, today short recommendations are working well. The top be conditions of the market indexes was making having both long and short positions in the portfolio a viable strategy. Any long positions that appeared to be showing weakness should be closed at the end of the day.

April 15th Market Wrap Up

April 15, 2021

The market indexes are experiencing consolidation during the uptrend. The uptrend remains in progress as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T-line. A trend closing below the T-line after a candlestick sell signal is a much stronger confirmation there has been a change of investor sentiment. This is clearly illustrated in the April lean hogs chart, a large bearish engulfing signal last week and a close below the T-line was a strong indication the downtrend was in progress.

The steady uptrend of the markets allow candlestick investors to take advantage of the high profit/high probability pattern breakouts. The bobble breakouts continue to produce good trade set ups. Many stocks will slowly trend up in a slow uptrend of the markets. The advantage of candlestick analysis is it pinpoints which patterns are going to produce greater profits than merely an uptrending stock price. The J-hook pattern and bobble breakout pattern allows for identifying what the next price move will likely be. Wave three will usually be the same magnitude as wave one. This is what allows the candlestick investor to maximize profitability when the trend is moving in the analyzed direction.
