February 28th Daily Market Comments

Watch the indexes 10 minute charts. Obviously the market is dramatically oversold and a good distance away from the T-line and has been gapping down. The Dow 10 minute chart has started trading flat now for the last hour.

February 27th Market Wrap-Up

A terrible market? Heck no! Not if you follow the candlestick signals. These are the type of markets that provide a huge profits. The indexes indicated last week with the sell signals followed by a close below the T-line. Was there any great expectation of the magnitude of selling? Of course not, but the profitable results of candlestick analysis is the signals and patterns have your funds placed in the correct direction of price trends. The the process is very simple! When the indexes reveal the probabilities of a downtrend, simple candlestick scanning techniques now orient investors to look for the best short positions, stocks/sectors. The T line rule provides one of the most powerful, high profit indications. Utilizing that rule allows the candlestick investor to constantly have the majority of the portfolio oriented toward the appropriate direction based upon the market indexes trading above or below the T line. Investor sentiment works the same way time after time. Knowing that information the candlestick investor gains huge advantages. It allows for accurate trend analysis based upon candlestick reversal signals and their orientation to the T-line.
Knowing the simple rules/observations the candlestick rice traders have provided dramatically improves and investors probabilities of being in a correct trade at the correct time and knowing when it is time to take profits. Alert number one, a gap down in the oversold condition has witnessed in the market indexes today creates the trading environment to start looking for buy signals. Alert number two, the further away you move from the T line, the higher the probability it will come back and test it. Note how the markets gapped down in the oversold area today and look at the distance they have moved away from the T line in the oversold area. This should provide for mental preparedness to take short position profits when witnessing potential bullish reversal signals. Or if having cash available, the candlestick investor is not in panic mode but now watching to see when buy signals start appearing in the oversold area. Basic observations provided by the Japanese rice traders provide the information that can completely alter and investors perspective. Instead of being distraught by the big selling, short positions will have been producing excessive profits allowing an investor to be getting prepared to take profits and have funds available upon seeing bullish reversal signals in the oversold condition. A terrible market? Not if you follow what the candlestick signals and the T-line reveal as far as being positioned correctly.

Where do most people sell? This is the first lesson the Japanese rice traders illustrate for us. They panic sell at the bottom. Today’s gapped down in the indexes should provide a very visual alert for expecting a reversal.

February 26th Daily Market Comments

The Dow has bounced up 400 points Today, the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 forming bullish Harami’s. This may be indicating the end of the selling if today’s trading closes as a bullish Harami in the indexes and they start trading positive tomorrow. However, the qualifying word is “if”.

No pics today. Why? When you see a huge move in the markets, what would be the expected result the next day? That is difficult to assess. There could be up bounce because of the overselling going into the close of the previous day. There could be panic selling continuing driving the price down.

February 24th Market Direction

Today’s selling makes a candlestick analysis process very simple to identify. The uptrend remains in progress until you see a candlestick sell signal and a close below the T line. Thursday provided an indecisive Doji type day in the indexes. What was required to maintain the uptrend was positive trading. When the markets opened lower, that was an immediate sign that the bears were taking control. That was more confirmed with the indexes closing below the T line. This is an extremely high probability result using those simple parameters. Anytime you see a candlestick sell signal and a close below the T line, the prospects for the uptrend continuing is extremely low, the prospects for more downside is extremely strong. That visual analysis allows the candlestick investor to immediately start taking profits and closing out long positions that are showing weakness. Adding short positions becomes a much better trading strategy. This is based upon simple probabilities. Anytime a price move closes below the T line, the downward trend probabilities improved dramatically.

Bearish patterns can be easily recognized especially in sectors that are in the limelight. The China virus is implying the cruise lines are going to have much more difficulties making profits until the virus situation is resolved. Which cruise line stocks produced the best probable short positions? Simple candlestick patterns indicated which stocks in that sector has the strongest downside prospects. This is putting the stars in alignment! If you can see what the overall market trend is doing, candlestick scanning techniques can pinpoint which sectors have the highest probabilities of producing down trending moves. Using these simple techniques constantly puts your investment funds in the appropriate direction at the appropriate time.

February 21st Daily Market Comments

The direction of today’s trading was easily anticipated by the formation of a Doji tape day yesterday. The Dow had come back up toward the top end of the trading range forming a Doji type day but it still closed below the T-line. It needed to open positive and trade positive to confirm that the T-line was still acting as a bullish support.

The markets still do not demonstrate any selling pressure. Today’s lower open, the Dow opening right on the T-line, appear to be normal morning profit-taking. Nothing has changed the trend sentiment. Candlestick patterns are still producing good profits, i.e. the fry pan bottom.
