We Closed the Gap!

Hi Shoppers, I am seeing possible dojis created yesterday in the major indexes which could be signaling a change in this downtrend. Here is the SPDR S&P 500 (Ticker: SPY) chart: In the Invesco QQQ Trust (Ticker: QQQ) there is a doji along with a support level: The Ishares Russell 2000 (Ticker: IWM) is not […]

Happy Times

Hi Shoppers, Check out the possible doji in Bank of America (Ticker: BAC): After trading a high of $37.85 on November 30th, BAC traded a low of $31.35 on Friday and took out the low of Thursday closing right near the opening price. I will wait for confirmation this morning of BAC trading higher. Once […]

Where Do We Go From Here?

Hi Shoppers, According to my charts, the SPY, QQQ and IWM have all violated a support level and closed below it. Remember, the closing price is more important than the intraday highs and lows. So let’s take a look.   For SPDR S&P 500 (Ticker: SPY) my support level is right there at that nice […]

A Chart Examination

Hi Shoppers, On Monday, I pointed out a bearish engulfing candlestick formation on the Abbvie (Ticker: ABBV) chart. And it was a beautiful example of that indicator. I thought it was going to be a huge winner. All I needed was for ABBV to trade lower. But guess what … it didn’t pan out. That’s […]

A Bearish Engulfing Candle

Hi Shoppers, Friday’s trade action has created a bearish engulfing candlestick in Abbvie (Ticker: ABBV): ABBV has had a tremendous rally since October 13th trading from a low of $136.37 up to a high on Friday of $149.55. That is over 9.5%. Friday’s bearish engulfing candle is formed at the top of this rally, created […]

A Santa Claus Rally?

Hi Shoppers, I am thinking all these dojis in the major indexes are pointing to a possible rally this morning. To take advantage of this, I like the ProShares UltraPro Short S&P 500 (Ticker: SPXU): Wednesday’s doji may be an indication of SPXU to trade lower. Looking at next week’s puts:   Be sure SPXU […]

A Big Decision

Hi Shoppers, Wells Fargo (Ticker: WFC) has an interesting chart. It has come down hard and fast and could be ready for a bounce: Yesterday’s action created a hammer which could be a signal of a reversal of this big four day selloff of over five bucks. It also closed that gap created back on […]

Songbird

Hi Shoppers, I am seeing a possible hanging man candle in CVS Health Corp (Ticker: CVS) which could be indicating a change in that upward trend: There is also a double top. Watch for CVS to stay below yesterday’s close before hopping in on the downside. It could pull back to the 200-day moving average […]

Doji Doji Panic

Hi Shoppers, Looks like a doji formed yesterday in Las Vegas Sands (Ticker: LVS): LVS also looks to have a double top formation which can signal a reversal in trend. The stock has had a nice rally since October 24th when it traded a low of $33.38. If the stock opens and trades lower today, […]
