Breakout trades are more effectively identified utilizing candlestick patterns. Breakout trades are merely identifying where a pattern breakout is likely to occur, usually at a moving average or resistance level everybody else is watching. The combination of a candlestick signal at a candlestick pattern breakout level greatly improves the probabilities that a strong breakout is occurring. This is what we called 2+2 analysis.

The uptrend remains in progress in the market indexes especially with a J-hook pattern set up in the Dow and the transportation index. The J-hook patterns are continuing to be profitable. The trading strategy remains simple, stay predominately long as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T line.

Appears to be a lethargic trading day in the middle of the summer. The lack of movement in the indexes today does not show any change of investor sentiment, the current trend remains in progress. This continues to allow good charts to perform well.

August 2nd Daily Market Comments

The indecisive trading of yesterday in the indexes, the Doji/Harami signals in the overbought condition, provided the warning that the recent high of June 1 might be acting as a resistance level. That is being confirmed with the lower trading today. This would have been a stimulus for taking profits on long positions today if the premarket futures were showing a bearish sentiment. The transportation index is selling off very hard while the Dow is selling off, likely back to the T line. It will be important to see where the markets close today. Unfortunately it may be indicating the continuation of a sideways/summer doldrums market trend.

The best trade setups are based on human nature. The best trades setups not only detect a high probability trend analysis but also producing a very strong price move in that new trend. Currently the market indexes have moved positive based upon J-hook patterns. However, an important level to be breached was the recent high of June 1. If the indexes could trade above that level, which currently only the NASDAQ has done so, that would indicate the persistent downtrend of the markets would now have a new dynamic. The bulls had stepped up enough to show the bearish sentiment had diminished. That will be why it is important to see if the indexes can move up or stay up above the last peak of June 1. The J-hook pattern in the indexes also produce good J-hook patterns in individual stock prices. The candlestick investor can take advantage of this information. The bobble breakout is a more enhanced probability of producing a strong profit potential because of its establishment based upon moving averages everybody else is watching. When you learn the logic built into candlestick charts, you greatly improve your analytical abilities, not having to depend on anybody else’s prognosis or recommendations.

The J-hook patterns continue to work in the indexes. Why is the market heading up with the current political/economic conditions? Who knows, but we do not need to know. Candlestick charts provide the ability to analyze what everybody else’s decisions are as far as buying and selling. Stay predominately long.
