What do the powerful candlestick signals represent? They are the actual buying and selling decisions, not the speculation, not opinions, actual buy and sell decisions. Why is this important? It allows the candlestick investor to see exactly what investor sentiment is doing, cutting through all the “expert” opinions heard on the financial news stations, financial newsletters, and email promotions. Last week the market indexes produced McMuffin patterns. A McMuffin pattern is a MorningStar signal, one of the 12 major candlestick signals, which produces high probabilities of a trend reversal. The MorningStar signal is then followed by a bullish Doji sandwich. The expected results of a Doji sandwich is more upside. When you combine the two signals, a morning sandwich/McMuffin, it produces extremely high probabilities an uptrend is going to remain in progress. Add the factor of the trend remaining above the T line enhances those probabilities. Witnessing the big stocks, AMZN, NVDA, AAPL, NFLX all producing good bullish chart patterns is additional evidence that bullish sentiment has now come back into the markets.
Why is it important to be able to accurately analyze the overall market trend? It allowed for candlestick investors to be participating in the downtrend when the first sell signals appeared in the market trends close below the T line. The McMuffin signal components illustrated when the downtrend had reversed. This allows for simple scanning techniques to find the strongest bullish sectors, then scanning for the strongest individual stock charts in those sectors. This puts the stars in alignment, the probabilities put greatly in your favor. The REIT sector is showing across-the-board buy signals. Numerous specialty medical supply companies are obviously working well in these market conditions. Knowing which sectors are acting the strongest allows the candlestick investor to pinpoint the best trade set ups.
CMD and DNLI our recent recommendations that illustrated good strong chart patterns based upon the current virus situation. You do not have to know formulas, you do not need technical analysis skills! You merely need to visually recognize and understand what candlestick reversal signals are illustrating about human nature. Do not complicate investing. Candlestick charts keep it simple.
