Today’s indecisive trading in the markets continues to demonstrate one important trend factor, the indexes are still trading above the T line. There is prospects of a J-hook pattern forming in each of the indexes. This would have very relevant ramifications for the next trend move. If wave three equates to wave one of a J-hook pattern, that means the market indexes will be moving to all-time highs. Currently there is no major change of investor sentiment as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T line without any candlestick reversal signals. This analysis allows investors to maintain positions on trading days that normally make most investors nervous. Because human nature works the same way time after time, utilizing the simple trend indicators in conjunction with candlestick signals and patterns keeps an investor from being whipsawed in and out of positions.
The J-hook pattern and the frypan bottom pattern have produced trade set ups that have high probabilities of not only moving in the correct direction but also with a strong price move. When a candlestick pattern is developing while using the T line as a support level, it adds that much more credibility to the pattern expectations. This could be seen in a number of stock positions in today’s trading. There are two major benefits of utilizing candlestick patterns. First, the probabilities of a trade moving in the expected direction is extremely high. This is based upon hundreds of years of witnessing what occurs in human nature. Secondly, the results of patterns usually create much stronger returns than merely uptrending stocks during an uptrending market. Having this information allows an investor to dramatically improve the profitability of their portfolio by not only being in the right place at the right time, but also being in very strong price moves at the right time.
