December 12th Market Wrap-Up

The evidence of bullish sentiment was reinforced by the positive trading today that did not let the indexes trade back below the T-line. If you do your own research, you will find the extremely accurate results of a trend upon seeing a candlestick buy signal and a close above the T-line producing excellent probabilities of an uptrend remaining in progress until you see a candlestick sell signal and a close back below the T-line.

Candlestick signals are the graphic depiction of investor sentiment. The T line is a natural/Fibonacci support and resistance level of human nature. When you combine the two, you have an extremely high probability trend indicator.

The uptrend remains in progress, the T line is verified that fact. Continue to stay predominantly long. Note that there are numerous highs of the day occurring in individual stocks going into the close. Investor sentiment is not hard to evaluate based upon the candlestick formations.
