Candlestick reversal signals appeared in the indexes yesterday. The NASDAQ formed a bearish left/right combo confirmed with a lower open today, closing below the 50-day moving average and the T-line. Candlestick reversal signals also formed in the S&P 500, with an evening star signal failing at the 200-day moving average and confirming today with a lower open, which closed below the 50-day moving average and the T line. A lower open tomorrow would form a Dagwood, an evening star signal followed by a bearish Doji sandwich or an evening sandwich. This makes scanning for the strong candlestick reversal signals such as the bearish best friend signal as indicated in RUN or a bearish engulfing signal followed by a gap down through the 50ma seen in AMD. Any long positions require strong bullish confirmation, continuing to trade above the T line. However, with the markets showing a more substantial bias to the downside, scanning for the strong bearish candlestick reversal signals is the logical strategy.
