The Morning Star signal off the 50-day moving average allows candlestick investors to identify when the selling has stopped in the indexes are moving positively again. Today’s positive trading moved all the indexes back up above the T line. This is an extremely high probability indicator the uptrend is remaining in progress. The market reversal signals also provided the extra impetus to take profits on short positions, especially when bullish reversal signals were appearing. This simple visual analysis allows investors to move much more quickly to close out profitable positions and move to other potentially profitable positions. Currently, the J-hook pattern is producing extremely good high probability/high-profit trades. This also creates the opportunity to put on good option spread strategies.

The MorningStar bounce in the Dow, off the 50 day moving average, and now confirming with strong trading above the T line clearly indicates the recent profit-taking is over. The NASDAQ and the S&P 500 are also confirming bullish trading above the T line. Numerous short positions are now covered. J-hook patterns are the predominant pattern, especially with numerous stocks bouncing back up off the T line. Add long positions with the expectation of the indexes closing above the T line.
