June 23rd Daily Market Comments

The market indexes remain slow steady bullish with the NASDAQ demonstrating the most strength, forming J-hook pattern/steady Eddie uptrends. This is allowing for very profitable trade identification, wedge breakouts i.e.MYOV, EVBG. The fry pan bottom patterns continue to move up steadily. Stay long as long as the indexes remain above the T line.

June 22nd Market Direction

The markets are moving in a manner that makes it very profitable trading candlestick patterns. The Dow and the S&P 500 are trading relatively flat. But the NASDAQ continues to trade above the T line, revealing a J-hook pattern in progress. This merely implies the lack of any selling pressure in the indexes, the likelihood of a continued uptrend is fairly strong. These are market conditions that allow the candlestick investor to utilize simple scanning techniques to identify which stocks and/or sectors are producing the strongest bullish signals. Currently, gold prices continue to head higher and numerous gold stocks have produced very strong buy signals. Our recommendation today on GFI was based upon a best friend signal that gapped the price up through the resistance level, indicating wave three is now in progress. The best friend signal, a Doji followed by a gap up, not only produces high probabilities of a bullish trade, but also indicates a strong potential of a very strong profit trade.

The fry pan bottom pattern has been working extremely well in these market conditions. Numerous stocks have been producing profitable trades based upon the identification of a fry pan bottom i.e. NVAX, LVGO, MGNX. There are a number of stocks that have produced fry pan bottom patterns and are currently at breakout levels. The advantage of identifying a pattern at a breakout level means there is no waiting time to see if a pattern breakout is going to perform. CHGG and VIVO broke out through resistance levels today, making them very good high probability trade set ups upon positive opens tomorrow. This is the type of information that allows a candlestick investor to be in the absolute right place at the right time.

Weekly Watchlist June 22nd – June 26th

Although the Dow continues to trade flat/sideways, the NASDAQ has consistently provided a slow up trending trajectory, remaining above the T-line. The lack of any selling pressure allows for the candlestick patterns to perform excessively well without any indication of any bearish sentiment affecting the current market trend. This has allowed for some big profits to occur in both fry pan bottom patterns as well as J-hook patterns. Sector strength is revealed in the biotech area. LABU has indicated strength in that sector. IMMU, CODX, and DVAX are providing strong bullish signals in the biotech sector. As long as the NASDAQ continues to trade above the T line, even though the Dow and S&P 500 are drifting sideways, it has to be assumed there is no major change of investor sentiment, the slow up trending market trajectory remains in progress. This allows the candlestick investor to take advantage of the strong price patterns that are performing in these market conditions.

The NASDAQ continues to trade strong well above the T line, implying investor sentiment has dissipated any bearish sentiment. Note that the biggest profit trades are the results of pattern breakouts. Continue to stay predominately long. The Dow is suggesting a J-hook pattern set up, producing the prospects of more upside in the markets.

The market is not showing any major direction. The Dow is trading right at the T-line after trading much lower. The NASDAQ continues to trade flat for the last three trading days, not showing any direction. However, this is allowing fry pan bottom’s to perform very well. When the market in general is not showing any dramatic direction, utilizing the candlestick patterns provide much better probabilities of producing profitable trades. The patterns are the accumulation of investor sentiment, disregarding what the overall market direction is doing. Currently all the indexes are hovering just above or below the T-line. Stay long but be ready to close positions on hard selling.

Today, the Dow has used the T-line as the consolidation support area. The NASDAQ has remained positive today, providing the overall scenario of merely profit-taking so far today. Numerous J-hook patterns continue to work very profitably i.e. YY. Frypan bottom patterns are performing, utilizing the Doji sandwich as breakout indicators, LVGO, MGNX. Assume the market is in an uptrend as long as the indexes continue above the T line.

Today’s positive trading in the indexes, although currently trading at the lower end of there trading range, has gapped the indexes back up through the T-line area, this occurring after bullish signals in yesterday’s trading. As long as the indexes now remain above the T line, bearish sentiment has dissipated. This may not mean a new bullish uptrend has started yet, but it would indicate a stabilization of the market trend, making the identification of specific sectors the top priority.
