May 8th Market Direction

The high profit candlestick patterns become more effective in an indecisive trading market. The high profit candlestick patterns are the buildup of bullish or bearish sentiment, demonstrating less reliance on the overall market trend. Although the markets had a strong day on Friday, the Dow did not perform a reversal signal, merely a bullish day. The NASDAQ had a much stronger sentiment based upon a MorningStar signal that pushed back up to the resistance level. However, today’s trading was an indecisive Doji-type day. The transportation index traded lower. The S&P 500 traded indecisively flat. The NASDAQ is the only index that appears like it could breakout into new territory, out of the sideways trading range. Until it does, the sideways trading mode of the indexes make having both long and short positions in the trading portfolio. Having the ability to analyze the overall market trend allows for scanning for the high profit candlestick patterns more effectively. There are 9500 trading entities. On any given day, simple candlestick scanning techniques will identify a number of strong bullish trade set ups as well as a number of strong bearish trade setups. Using this information allows the candlestick investor to always have a good supply of potentially profitable trades.

The lack of follow-through in today’s market indexes continues to demonstrate the sideways mode of the market trend. Be cautious, positions whether long or short should require very strong charts.

Weekly Watchlist May 8th- May 12th, 2023

The best trade setups gain high probability factors by identifying the direction/nature of the overall market trend. The best trades are enhanced by knowing the top-ranked candlestick signals and patterns. The positive trading on Friday was not necessarily stimulated by the bullish job report but likely based on the fact that February and March job reports were dramatically revised to the downside. This information made the likelihood of additional rate hikes less likely. As a candlestick investor, you gain the advantage of knowing the direction of individual stock prices based on the strength of each candlestick signal and pattern. Once you learn the top-ranked candlestick signals, you gain much better insight to the strength of the next price move.

May 4th Market Wrap-Up

High-profit short positions are easily identified using simple candlestick scanning techniques. High-profit short positions are more likely to be identified when we can analyze the overall market direction with much more accuracy. The evening star signals in the indexes at obvious resistance levels produce high probabilities the sellers are taking control. The fear of another bank crisis is overshadowing the markets. The Fed announcements implied more rate hikes are likely. Lower oil prices indicate a slowdown of all economies. Candlestick charts provide much more clarity as to what the overall investor sentiment thinks about the economic environment. Candlestick investors can see it more clearly, witnessing candlestick signals at obvious support and resistance levels.

The downtrend in the indexes continue after the evening star signals failure at major resistance levels. Gold is up strong. Bank failures are a concern. Be predominantly short.

May 2nd Daily Market Comments

Today’s bearish trading has confirmed the indecisive signals at the resistance level in the indexes yesterday. Short positions that were showing good prospect are obviously improving profitability today. The prognosis remains the same, bullish trades require very compelling bullish confirmation, short trades can be added to the portfolio.
