The T line remains an obvious factor, the indexes continuing their downtrend except for the NASDAQ. It is currently nudging the T line after opening lower. This puts the market mode back to bullish charts continue to act well and bearish charts continue to act well. Continue to have both long and short positions in the portfolio using the T line as your ultimate criteria.

Candlestick analysis provides a high probability visual analysis of when to be buying or when to be selling. Candlestick analysis also reveals when sitting in cash or not aggressively trading is more prudent. That is illustrated in today’s trading in the Dow and the other indexes. Although the Dow has formed a bullish Harami after Friday’s big selloff, stochastics are still heading lower and the indexes continue to close below the T line. This means more information is required. Knowing what direction the overall market is moving is a big part of trading successfully.

The correct trend analysis also greatly enhances the probabilities of day trade entries and swing trade entries.

Beware the bounce! Or at least analyze that a positive trading today still does not indicate the direction of the market, a very nontradable market condition. The overall trend criteria remains the same, as long as the indexes continue to trade below the T line, assume the downtrend remains in progress.

Although the Dow traded positive yesterday, it was evident the T line was the resisting level. As long as the indexes continue to trade below the T line, assume the downward bias is most prevalent. Have short positions as the major portfolio positioning. The oil stocks sector is maintaining strength.

The indexes showing reversal signals yesterday and closing at or below the T-line produced the probabilities of the market indexes selling off, as confirmed in today’s lower trading. Any long positions should have compelling reasons to stay long. The short positions are obviously working very well. The bias in the portfolio should be to the short side.

November 22nd Market Direction

When is it time to be predominately long? When is it time to be predominately short? When is it time to have both long and short positions in the portfolio? That is exactly what candlestick charts reveal. An investor can much more accurately assess what the overall market trend is doing, utilizing the Dow, the NASDAQ and the S&P 500. Our recent recommendations have been having both long and short positions in the portfolio. That was based upon simple visual analysis of the different indexes, the Dow showed sell signals and continue to trade below the T line. The NASDAQ showed buy signals and continued to trade above the T line. The evaluation changes dramatically when candlestick sell signals are witnessed in all the indexes. This reveals a major change of investor sentiment. There are other subtle indications illustrated on candlestick charts that portend a change of investor sentiment. Join us Saturday November 27th at 10 AM ET for a free candlestick mini spotlight training on identifying when a major uptrend may be changing. Click here to register for free.

Exuberance was witnessed in a number of bullish stock chart patterns today. The shooting star signal formed in AAPL after gapping up in the overbought condition. AMZN created an evening star type signal showing a failure to move higher. RBLX gapped up in the overbought condition and immediately started trading lower. Candlestick signals and logic allow investors to take profits at the appropriate times. Short positions continue to produce good profitability by being in the right positions at the correct time.

The diversions in the NASDAQ trading higher and the Dow trading lower continues to the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 continue their uptrend, staying above the T-line. The Dow is trading higher, forming a bullish Harami off the 200 day moving average, the T line is still acting as a resistance. However, the market nature has not changed, the long positions continue to act well and the short positions continue to perform. Each individual stock chart remains the top criteria.

The NASDAQ trading solidly positive in the Dow trading solidly lower, clearly indicating the market is still very sector specific. The electric vehicle sector picking up strength while the oil stocks are trading lower. Have both long and short positions in the portfolio. Obviously, the political sparring in Washington is affecting specific sectors.
