The McMuffin signal is a powerful reversal signal, indicating a trend reversal is likely to have occurred. But more importantly for the candlestick investor, it reveals another important factor. Investor sentiment has changed! The fear selling of the past month now has been altered.

What do the powerful candlestick signals represent? They are the actual buying and selling decisions, not the speculation, not opinions, actual buy and sell decisions. Why is this important? It allows the candlestick investor to see exactly what investor sentiment is doing, cutting through all the “expert” opinions heard on the financial news stations, financial newsletters, and email promotions. Last week the market indexes produced McMuffin patterns. A McMuffin pattern is a MorningStar signal, one of the 12 major candlestick signals, which produces high probabilities of a trend reversal. The MorningStar signal is then followed by a bullish Doji sandwich. The expected results of a Doji sandwich is more upside. When you combine the two signals, a morning sandwich/McMuffin, it produces extremely high probabilities an uptrend is going to remain in progress. Add the factor of the trend remaining above the T line enhances those probabilities. Witnessing the big stocks, AMZN, NVDA, AAPL, NFLX all producing good bullish chart patterns is additional evidence that bullish sentiment has now come back into the markets.

Why is it important to be able to accurately analyze the overall market trend? It allowed for candlestick investors to be participating in the downtrend when the first sell signals appeared in the market trends close below the T line. The McMuffin signal components illustrated when the downtrend had reversed. This allows for simple scanning techniques to find the strongest bullish sectors, then scanning for the strongest individual stock charts in those sectors. This puts the stars in alignment, the probabilities put greatly in your favor. The REIT sector is showing across-the-board buy signals. Numerous specialty medical supply companies are obviously working well in these market conditions. Knowing which sectors are acting the strongest allows the candlestick investor to pinpoint the best trade set ups.

You do not have to know formulas, you do not need technical analysis skills! You merely need to visually recognize and understand what candlestick reversal signals are illustrating about human nature. Do not complicate investing. Candlestick charts keep it simple.

The McMuffin pattern is still the predominant indication of investor sentiment. The virus news seems to be just as good/bad as it has been for the past few weeks. How should we analyze that? We don’t need to, the McMuffin pattern produces extremely high results. We do not need to analyze how the current news is affecting the market, we just need to analyze what everybody else thinks the news is doing to the market trend. Keep the analysis simple.

The markets are still being affected by the political garbage of Washington. But the underlying factor remains that the McMuffin signal in the indexes of the past few trading days produces strong probabilities the uptrend is in progress. The T-line now becomes the trend indicator. The uptrend remains in progress as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T-line. Witnessing the premarket futures showing that the markets were going to open much lower is an immediate indication that any bullish signals created yesterday were probably not going to confirm. This keeps you out of trades that are working just yet.

What is affecting the market trend? Politics! That was evident in the price movements of the markets today when there was the prospects of a relief bill passing and then the realization the relief bill was not passing. This becomes relevant information for anticipating the market trend is predicated on what bills can be passed. That implies the market trend has gotten to a level where investor sentiment is looking for something to help reverse the downtrend. What will be the best stock price reversals when the market reverses? That is currently being illustrated by candlestick reversal signals already performing. Last week ZM was identified as a potential J-hook pattern. Today, there were numerous Doji sandwich breakouts through the T line. What this illustrates is that buying has started back in this market. The candlestick investor gains a huge advantage by being able to identify which stock/sectors are starting to show buy signals. This implies that those stock/sectors will probably act the strongest when the market in general starts reversing and showing strength. The more you learn what is incorporated into candlestick signals, the more you become convinced that price movements are based upon investor sentiment. Even if you have a relatively successful trading strategy/system that you are currently using, when you add candlestick analysis charts to your analysis, you dramatically improve the visualization of successful price moves.

Do not get discouraged. If you are relatively new at candlestick analysis, the lack of any good trade set ups from the candlestick charts is very informative. There are not any good candlestick trade set ups occurring in this market. 98% of the time the candlestick charts will reveal a number of good bullish charts or berries charts no matter which way the market is moving. 2% of the time the markets will illustrate not to be in the market. We are in that 2% time frame. Be patient, the rubber band is stretching. There will be strong bullish trades very soon. Chat session tonight at 8 PM ET.
