December 5th Market Direction

Powerful trade setups become much more viable when able to accurately assess the direction of the overall markets. Today’s selling confirmed some candlestick sell signals of last week. The bearish hanging man/Harami formed in the indexes on Thursday was confirmed today with closes below the T line. The S&P 500 was more convincing that the sellers were taking control by forming a bearish signal at the 200-day moving average, a potential resistance level that everybody was watching. Analyzing that the sellers are starting to take control allows the candlestick investor to take advantage of powerful trade setups. Several bearish flutter kicker signals were confirmed today on the lower opens. A major advantage of the flutter kicker signal is the alert, the gap down Doji below the opening of the previous bullish candle. This makes trade entry a relatively high probability execution. The Doji rule makes entering a short trade a high probability expected result. Candlestick patterns are identified because of their reoccurring expected results.

This continues to make the evaluation of each individual stock chart the most important criteria. Any buying today should have very strong confirmation.

December 1st Market Wrap-Up

There are some very strong candlestick patterns developing after the bullish market trend confirmation yesterday. The strong candlestick patterns are the J-hook patterns. Candlestick patterns have two major benefits. First, they produce a high probability of a trend direction and secondly, they produce the probabilities of a much stronger price move than merely up-trending stocks during an up-trending market. The Fed comments were not unexpected remarks. However, as illustrated in the strong price move in the indexes, investor sentiment was confirming the uptrend was still in progress. This was illustrated with the indexes all closing above the T-line. Today’s consolidation produced additional bullish confirmation, with the indexes pulling back and using the T line or the 200-day moving average as support. The confirmation of the uptrend continuing allows for scanning/identifying the strongest price move potential candlestick charts. Gold formed a J-hook pattern today. This makes scanning for the strongest chart patterns developing in gold stocks. Join us tonight for our open candlestick chat session. We will illustrate which J-hook pattern setups produces the strongest potential price moves.
