Weekly Watch List June 14th – 18th

NASDAQ stocks, while also producing weak sectors, related to the Dow index. The simple scanning techniques provided by candlestick analysis allows for identifying which stocks/sectors are going to continue their uptrends while other sectors will continue the downtrends. Currently, Biotech stocks still are producing very strong patterns, such as J-hook patterns and fry pan bottom’s. This allows the candlestick investor to have trading funds concentrated in the sectors that are obviously producing strength and short positions in sectors that are obviously week.

The lack of any major bearish sentiment in the market is allowing strong breakout set ups to perform as expected. This weekend was a mini spotlight training on identifying breakouts. This was just a prelude to our full day training on how to expect a breakout to occur and then what to do with that breakout based upon the trading results afterwards. Simple candlestick analysis allows investors to dramatically improve the probabilities of participating in big price moves. Join us June 26 for an in-depth analysis for being prepared for big breakout moves

Another day of indecisive trading, the NASDAQ trading relatively flat, the S&P 500 trading relatively flat, and the Dow trading lower. However, the T line continues to remain a very strong indicator, allowing for numerous J-hook pattern set ups i.e.SAVA. The strategy is very simple, stay long on positions that remain above the T line, stay short in positions that continue to trade below the T line.

June 10th Market Wrap-Up

The Dow is showing weakness, the NASDAQ is showing strength coming out of a J-hook pattern. This makes having both long and short positions in the portfolio the best strategy. When you apply candlestick signals and patterns to your trading analysis, it allows for the candlestick investor to have much greater probabilities of being in a correct direction trade. This is both applicable to long and short positions. The frypan bottom pattern is continuing to produce good strong profitable results. The probabilities are extremely good that a frypan bottom pattern is going to continue to produce an uptrend based upon the accumulation of investor sentiment that created the pattern and the first place.

Also, when specific sectors of the markets are selling off, as evidenced by Dow-related stocks, short positions will be working extremely well. The probabilities are greatly improved for being in a correct direction of a trade based upon multiple candlestick signals that would illustrate the trend is likely to continue. Or short recommendations on AI were based upon a very strong sell signal, the bearish flutter kicker signal. This implies very strong selling, allowing for being in trades that have greater prospects of producing big price moves versus merely in a slow down-trending stock price. Join us this Saturday, June 12 for a mini spotlight session analyzing how to identify the strong breakout moves. These 60 minutes to 90-minute sessions produce a lot of valuable insights.

The indecisive nature of the market trend persists. What could have been confirmed bearish sentiment yesterday is now being negated immediately on positive trading today. It will be important to see if the markets hold up, keeping the indexes above the T line today. The sideways/slow upward trend remains in progress, but keep safety stops in place.

The slow steady but indecisive uptrend of the market indexes are allowing the fry pan bottom and J-hook patterns to perform well.Fry PANS CLNE, ACAD,AVIR, ET will usually perform better than merely up trending stocks during a slow up trending market. Stay with long positions that continue to trade above the T line without any candlestick sell signals.

Pattern Breakouts in an Indecisive Market

Although the Dow is trading lower today, it is still a slow uptrend above the T line. The uptrend was upheld with the NASDAQ forming a J-hook pattern off the 50-day moving average, producing strong probabilities of more upside. This allows for high-profit trade setups at breakout points. Frypan bottom breakouts are producing good trades. The advantage a candlestick investor has is the ability to recognize when a high-profit trade setup is in process. This is based upon 2+2 analysis, adding numerous bullish elements to a very quick visual analysis.

The term indecisive remains the most relevant analysis of the markets. Obviously Today’s trading is not showing any dramatic directional indication. This implies the slow uptrend has not been altered. The simple observation remains that the uptrending stock/sectors continue to move in an uptrending manner as long as they are trading above the T line. Stay predominately long, have safety stops in place. There are also good short positions working.

Today’s trading was important in revealing whether the past few days of indecisive pullback was merely profit-taking or the beginning of a downtrend. Currently it appears as if the T line was acting as support for the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ. The transportation index is showing strong selling. This makes today’s market close in the other indexes very important. There needs to be continued strength maintaining into the close.
