    TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

    Meaning :- Technical Analysis can be defined as a study of the stock marketconsidering factors related to the supply and demand of stocks .

    Technical Analysis does not look at underlying earnings potentialof company while evaluating stocks( i.e. It is not like fundamental analysis ).It uses charts and computerprograms to study the stocks trading volume and price movementsin the hope of identifying a trend. In fact the decision made on the

    basis of Technical Analysis is doneonly after inferring a trend andjudging the future movementof the stock on the basis of thetrend.Technical Analysis assumes that the market is efficient and the pricehasalready taken into consideration the other factors related to thecompany and the industry. It is because of this assumption that manythink Technical Analysis is a tool, which is effective for short-terminvesting.

    History :- Technical Analysis, the tool of investment for the average investor,thrived in the late nineteenth century when Charles Dow, then editor ofthe Wall Street Journal, proposed the Dow Theory. He recognized thatthe movement is caused by the action / reaction of the people dealingin stocks rather the news in itself.

    Walter Deemer was one of the technical analysts of that time. Hestarted at Merrill Lynch in New York as a member of Bob Farrellsdepartment. Then when the legendary Gerry Tsai moved from Fidelityto found the Manhattan Fund in 1996, Deemer joined him. Tsai used toconsult him before every majorblock trade, at the start of a time whenlarge volume institutional trading became the norm and the meal ticketfor brokers. Deemer,could recreate market history on the charts andcite statistics. He maintained contact with the group of other prosaround then, who shared their insights with each other in a collegial

    confidence worthy of the priesthood.

    WAY OF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

    Technical Analysis is done by identifying the trend from pastmovements and then using it as a tool to predict future pricemovements of the stock. It can be done by using any of the following

    methods:

    a ) Moving AverageThis method is used to predict the trend and specify various supportand resistance levels in the short and long term period. Most commonlyused moving averages are 30 DMAs and 200 DMAs. Where DMA meansDays Moving Average.

    b) Charts & Patterns

    Some analysts' uses charts and patterns to decide on the trend andthen judge the future movement. The tool used by such analyst isconverting the chart in one of the many form of many shapescommonly formed by stocks. Some of such patterns are:

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    10/62

    TRENDSTrends can be classified broadly in 3 types. They are:

    Uptrend: -Generally a stock moves in any direction with phases of consolidationor moving against the trend for a short period. But still it creates ahigher Highs and Lows in case of an uptrend. In short each short rallywill create new High for the stock.

    Downward: -In this case as against Uptrend the stock creates lower Highs and Lows.Furthermore.in case of Downtrend the fall is much more steeper thanthe rise in case of Uptrend.

    c) Range-bound: -In case of such a trend the price moves in a small range for the longperiod. There is no apparent direction as far as trend is concerned inthis case

    Role of Volume:

    Volume plays a key role in deciding about the kind of future movementin stock. Whenever there is a sudden rise in the volume of the stockand if it is not followed by a price fall, it is a sign of consolidation andthat the price may rise in near future. Generally if any stock breaks any

    trend it is accompanied by huge rise in volume.

    In case of range bound trend the volume tends to die down to a greatextent. Smart investors uses technical analysis to judge the rise involume and take early positions in the stock during breakthroughs.

    Who uses technical Analysis?

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    11/62

    Investors for their short-term trading decisions use Technical

    Analysis. This short-term may be further divided in day trading,

    short-term investment and for hedging purposes. The role played

    by Technical Analysis in each case is as follows:

    1) Day Traders:

    A day trader is one who takes and squares off his

    position both on the same day. Mostly a day tradercounts on

    turnover rather than margin. A day trader will interpret

    the market movement through this idea.

    2) Short term investors:

    These people form the biggest clientele base of both the

    brokers and the Technical Analyst. To explain the working

    lets take the price movement curve of Infosys

    3. Hedgers:

    These are generally big investors, who have lot of money

    at stake and hence they look to have some hedging of their

    risk. The strategy followed by this section of investors is

    that they compare the stock in consideration with the index

    and on the basis of the result of this comparison they take

    their position in the stock.

    Is technicalAnalysis Helpful?

    If we use only technical analysis in itself and do not

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    12/62

    consider other

    aspects it is very unlikely that we will have much successin the

    long run, particularly in case of short-term investments.But if we

    use Technical analysis along with fundamental analysis or

    discount the industry and company related news whileconsidering

    the valuation, our chances of minimizing the riskbrightens.

    One thing that we must realize is that technical analysisprovides

    us only with the trend and judge future on that basis, it

    can be farfrom actual in few cases, one of them was the day Infosys

    crashed by 30% on a single day. By no imagination andno

    analysis one

    could have guessed the same or rather have come closedto it.

    Therefore the best use of technical analysis is to realize

    the trend

    and levels at which it will break the trend so that one isprepared to

    take positions when such trend breaks. It is because ofthis

    disadvantage that Technical analysis more useful only forshort-

    term investing...

    Technical analysis

    Technical analysis is a collection of methods to predict future stock prices taking into account only the

    past and present data - prices and (optionally) volume. There is no consideration given to the

    fundamentals of the company or the industry under consideration.

    I personally use technical analysis(TA) only after I have zeroed in onto a company that I want to invest

    in. That is, I use it to determine when to enter (buy) and when to exit (sell). Over and above that - I do

    not execute blindly the output from TA. I look at the market sentiment, company and industry timing etc.

    Even so, technical analysis does help me big time with the decision making.

    How is TA performed?No need to understand that. Attached is a spreadsheet that will help you carry

    out TA based on different indicators: Moving average, Moving Average Convergence / Divergence orRelative strength index.

    Relative Strength Index ( RSI )

    The RSI is a financial technical analysis oscillator showing price strength by comparing upward and

    downward close-to-close movements.

    The RSI is popular because it is relatively easy to interpret. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder andpublished in Commodities magazine (now called Futures magazine) in June 1978, and in his New

    Concepts in Technical Trading Systems the same year. The term relative strength also refers to the

    strength of a security in relation to its sector or the overall market. The Relative Strength Index is

    described here.

    For each day an upward change U or downward change D amount is calculated. On an up day, i.e.

    today's close higher than yesterday's,

    U = closetoday closeyesterday

    D = 0

    Or on the contrary, on a down day ( D is a positive number),

    U = 0

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    14/62

    D = closeyesterday closetoday

    If today's close is the same as yesterday's, both U and D are zero. An average for U is calculated with an

    exponential moving average using a given N-days smoothing factor, and likewise for D. The ratio of

    those averages is the Relative Strength,

    This is converted to a Relative Strength Index between 0 and 100,

    Varying the time period of the Relative Strength Index can increase or decrease

    the number of buy and sell signals. In the chart below of Gold, two RSI time

    periods are shown, 14-day (default) and 5-day. Notice how decreasing the time

    period made the RSI more volatile, increasing the number of buy and sell signals

    substantially.

    MACD

    which stands for Moving Average Convergence / Divergence, is a technical analysis indicator created by

    Gerald Appel in the 1960s. It shows the difference between a fast and slow exponential moving average

    (EMA) of closing prices. During the 1980s MACD proved to be a valuable tool for any trader.

    Since the crash of the market in2000, most strategies no longer recommend using MACD as the primary

    method of analysis, but instead believe it should be used as a monitoring tool only. It is prone towhipsaw, and if a trader is not careful it is possible that they might suffer substantial loss, especially if

    they are leveragedor trading options. The standard periods recommended back in the 1960s by Gerald

    Appel are 12 and 26 days:

    A signal line (or trigger line) is then formed by smoothing this with a further EMA. The standard period

    for this is 9 days,

    MACD is a indicator, and is designed to identify trend changes. It's generally not recommended for use

    in ranging market conditions. Three types of trading signals are generated,

    MACD line crossing itself.

    The signal line crossing is the usual trading rule. This is to buy when the MACD crosses up through the

    signal line, or sell when it crosses down through the signal line. These crossings may occur too

    frequently, and other tests may have to be applied.

    The histogram shows when a crossing occurs. When the MACD line crosses through zero on the

    histogram it is said that the MACD line has crossed the signal line. The histogram can also help

    visualizing when the two lines are coming together. Both may still be rising, but coming together, so a

    falling histogram suggests a crossover may be approaching.

    A crossing of the MACD line up through zero is interpreted as bullish, or down through zero as bearish.

    These crossings are of course simply the original EMA(12) line crossing up or down through the slower

    EMA(26) line.

    Positive divergence between MACD and price arises when price makes a new selloff low, but the

    MACD doesn't make a new low (i.e. it remains above where it fell to on that previous price low). This is

    interpreted as bullish, suggesting the downtrend may be nearly over. Negative divergence is the same

    thing when rising (i.e. price makes a new rally high, but MACD doesn't rise as high as before), this is

    interpreted as bearish.

    Divergence may be similarly interpreted on the price versus the histogram, where the new price levels

    are not confirmed by new histogram levels. Longer and sharper divergences (distinct peaks or troughs)

    are regarded as more significant than small shallow patterns in this case.

    It is recommended to look at a MACD on a weekly scale before looking at a daily

    scale to avoid making short term trades against the direction of the intermediate trend.

    Sometimes it is prudent to apply a price filter to the Bullish Moving Average

    Crossover to ensure that it will hold. An example of a price filter would be to buy if

    MACD breaks above the 9-day EMA and remains above for three days. The buy signal

    would then commence at the end of the third day. For an example,

    MACD

    1. MACD Defined

    The MACD indicator is one of the most popular technical analysis

    tools. There are three main components of the MACD shown in the

    picture below:

    1. MACD: The 12-period exponential moving average (EMA) minus the 26-period EMA.

    2. MACD Signal Line: A 9-period EMA of the MACD.

    18/62

    3. MACD Histogram: The MACD minus the MACD Signal Line.

    Daily Chart of Nasdaq 100 ETF

    The MACD indicator is an effective and versatile tool. There are three main ways to

    interpret the MACD technical analysis indicator,

    1. Moving Average Crossovers

    2. MACD Histograms3. MACD Divergences

    Moving Average Crossovers

    The primary method of interpreting the MACD is with moving

    average crossovers. When the shorter-term 12-period exponential

    moving average (EMA) crosses over the longer-term 26-period EMA

    a buy signal is generated; this is seen on the Nasdaq 100 exchange

    traded fund (QQQQ) chart below with the two purple lines.

    MACD ( Daily Chart of Nasdaq 100 ETF)

    Remember that the MACD line (the blue line) is created from the 12-period and

    26-period EMA. Consequently:

    1. When the shorter-term 12-period EMA crosses above the longer-term 26-

    period EMA, the MACD line crosses above the Zero line.2. When the 12-period EMA crosses below the 26-period EMA, the MACD line

    crosses below the Zero line.

    Moving Average Crossover Buy Signal

    A buy signal is generated when the MACD (blue line) crosses above the zero line.

    Moving Average Crossover Sell Signal

    When the MACD crosses below the zero line, then a sell signal is generated.

    The prior buy and sell signals get a person into a trade later in the move of a stock

    or future. A more common buy and sell signal is shown in the graph below of the

    Nasdaq 100 exchange traded fund QQQQ:

    Most Common MACD Buy and Sell Signals

    MACD Buy Signal

    A buy signal is generated when the MACD (blue line) crosses above the MACD

    Signal Line (red line).

    MACD Sell Signal

    Similarly, when the MACD crosses below the MACD Signal Line a sell signal is

    generated.

    The MACD moving average crossover is one of many ways to interpret the MACD

    technical indicator. Using the MACD histogram and MACD divergence warnings are

    two other important methods of using the MACD.

    The MACD Histogram is simply the difference between the MACD line (blue line)

    and the MACD signal line (red line). The MACD histogram is illustrated in the chart

    below of the Nasdaq 100 QQQQ's:

    MACD ( Daily Chart of Nasdaq 100 ETF

    Two important terms are derived from the MACD histogram and are illustrated

    above in the chart of the QQQQ's:

    Convergence: The MACD histogram is shrinking in height. This occurs

    because there is a change in direction or a slowdown in the stock, future,bond, or currency trend. When that occurs, the MACD line is getting closer

    to the MACD signal line.

    Divergence: The MACD histogram is increasing in height (either in the

    positive or negative direction). This occurs because the MACD isaccelerating faster in the direction of the prevailing market trend.

    The letter "T" represents when the top or peak of the MACD histogram occurs. In

    contrast, the letter "B" shows when the bottom of the MACD histogram occurs.

    Notice how closely the tops and bottoms of the MACD histogram are to the tops of

    the Nasdaq 100 e-mini future.

    MACD Histogram Buy Signal

    When the MACD histogram is below the zero line and begins to converge towards

    the zero line.

    MACD Histogram Sell Signal

    When the MACD histogram is above the zero line and begins to converge towards

    the zero line.

    Note: In the example above, three consecutive days of shrinking MACD histogram

    from top or bottom served as the buy or sell signals shown with arrows. This is anagressive example. One could wait until the MACD histogram went to zero, but

    that would be the same signal as the MACD moving average crossover.

    The MACD is not only good for buy and sell signals, the MACD can be used for

    warnings of potential change in the direction of stocks, futures, and currency pairs.

    MACD Divergences

    Bearish divergence occurs when a technical analysis indicator is suggesting that a

    price should be going down but the price of the stock, future, or currency pair is

    continuing to maintain its current uptrend.

    Bullish divergence occurs when the indicator is indicating that price should be

    bottoming and heading higher, yet the actual price action is continuing downward.

    These valuable divergences can signal to get out of a long or short position before

    profits erode. The following chart of the E-mini S&P 500 Index Future shows some

    of these divergences:

    High 1 to High 2

    Looking at the E-mini S&P 500 future, from High 1 to High 2, the futures contract

    made higher highs, which is usually viewed as bullish. However, the MACD moving

    average failed to make a new high. This bearish divergence was an early warningsign of things to come with the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract.

    Low 1 to Low2

    In yet another bearish sign for the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract, the future

    made higher lows from Low 1 to Low 2, which again is usually considered positive.

    Nevertheless, the MACD technical indicator made a clear lower low from Low 1 to

    Low 2. This bearish divergence warned of the impending downturn of the S&P 500

    future and the market as a whole.

    Low 2 to Low 3

    In addition to bearish and bullish divergences, the MACD can confirm price

    movement as well. The E-mini S&P 500 futures contract made a substantial lower

    low which was confirmed by the MACD when it made a lower low as well.

    Simple Moving Average ( SMA )

    The Simple Moving Average is arguably the most popular technical analysis tool

    used by traders. The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used mainly to identifytrend direction, but is commonly used to generate buy and sell signals. The

    SMA is an average, or in statistical speak - the mean. An example of a Simple

    Moving Average is presented below:

    The prices for the last 5 days were 25, 28, 26, 24, 25. The average would

    be (25+28+26+26+27)/5 = 25.6. Therefore, the SMA line below the last

    days price of 27 would be 26.4. In this case, since prices are generallymoving higher, the SMA line of 26.4 would be acting as support .The

    chart below of the Dow Jones Industrial Average exchange traded fund(DIA) shows a 20-day Simple Moving Average acting as support for prices.

    Moving Average Acting as Support - Buy Signal

    When price is in an uptrend and subsequently, the moving average is in an

    uptrend, and the moving average has been tested by price and price has bounced

    off the moving average a few times (i.e. the moving average is serving as a

    support line), then buy on the next pullbacks back to the Simple Moving Average.

    A Simple Moving Average can serve as a line of resistance as the chart of the DIA

    shows:

    Moving Average Acting as Resistance Sell Signal

    At times when price is in a downtrend and the moving average is in a downtrend

    as well, and price tests the SMA above and is rejected a few consecutive times (i.e.

    the moving average is serving as a resistance line), then buy on the next

    rally up to the Simple Moving Average.

    The examples above have been only using one Simple Moving Average; however,

    traders often use two or even three Simple Moving Averages. The advantages to

    using more than one Simple Moving Average is discussed on the next page.

    Stochastic RSI

    The Stochastic RSI combines two very popular technical analysis indicators,

    Stochastics and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Whereas Stochastics and RSI

    are based off of price, Stochastic RSI derives its values from the Relative Strength

    Index (RSI); it is basically the Stochastic indicator applied to the RSI indicator.

    As will be shown below in the chart of the S&P 500 E-mini Futures contract, the

    Stochastic RSI gives more profitable buy and sell signals and overbought and

    oversold readings, than the Relative Strength Index.

    Stochastic RSI :- Daily Chart E- mini S&P 500 Future ( ES )

    In the chart above of the E-mini S&P 500 Futures contract, the RSI indicator spent

    most of its time between overbought (70) and oversold (30), giving no buy or sell

    signals. However, the Stochastic RSI used the RSI indicator to uncover many

    profitable buy and sell signals.

    How to interpret the buy and sell signals of the Stochastic RSI is given next in the

    Stochastics Fast & Slow

    Stochastic Fast

    Stochastic Fast plots the location of the current price in relation to the range of a

    certain number of prior bars (dependent upon user-input, usually 14-periods). In

    general, stochastics are used to measure overbought and oversold

    conditions. Above 80 is generally considered overbought and below 20 is

    considered oversold. The inputs to Stochastic Fast are as follows:

    Fast %K: [(Close - Low) / (High - Low)] x 100

    Fast %D: Simple moving average of Fast K (usually 3-period moving

    average)

    Stochastic Slow

    Stochastic Slow is similar in calculation and interpretation to Stochastic Fast. The

    difference is listed below:

    Slow %K: Equal to Fast %D (i.e. 3-period moving average of Fast %K)

    Slow %D: A moving average (again, usually 3-period) of Slow %K

    The Stochastic Slow is generally viewed as superior due to the smoothing

    effects of the moving averages which equates to less false buy and sell signals. A

    comparison of the two stochastics, fast and slow, is shown below in the chart of

    the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQQ):

    Stochastic Fast & Slow

    Daily chart - Nasdaq 100 ETF

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    31/62

    As will be shown on the next page, Stochastics offer clear buy and sell signals and

    help in determining overbought or oversold price conditions.

    Stochastic Buy & Sell Signals

    Stochastics Buy Signal

    When the Stochastic is below the 20 oversold line and the %K line crosses over the

    %D line, buy.

    Stochastics Sell Signal

    When the Stochastic is above the 80 overbought line and the %K line crosses

    below the %D line, sell.

    Stochastic Fast buy and sell signals are illustrated below in the chart of the E-mini

    S&P 500 Future:

    In addition to giving clear buy and sell signals, the Stochastic technical analysis

    indicator is also helpful in detecting price divergences and confirming trend.

    4. Stochastic Price Divergences

    Stochastics can be used to confirm price trend. In the example below of the

    Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQQ), the Stochastic indicator spent most of its time in the

    overbought area. When Stochastics get stuck in the overbought area, like at the

    very right of the chart, this is a sign of a strong bullish run. Signals to sellshort

    would be ignored; however, before the signal not to short was given, many losses

    unfortunately would have accrued from failed shorting attempts on the left half of

    the chart.

    Low 1 to Low 2

    The Stochastic Slow confirmed the upward movement of gold futures prices by

    making a higher low.

    High 1 to High 2

    Gold futures rallied to make a higher high; however, the Stochastic Slow indicator

    failed to make a higher high, instead it made a lower high. This divergence coupled

    with a trendline break in the price of gold would be a strong warning to futures

    traders that the recent rally had probably ended and any long futures positions

    should be exited or at least scaled back.

    Low 3 to Low 4

    Gold prices continued its downward tumble, making a lower low at Low 4. On the

    other hand, the Stochastic Slow indicator was signaling a higher low. This bullish

    divergence would have warned traders to exit their shortsells, the price of gold had

    a strong potential of bottoming.

    Doji

    The Doji is a powerful Candlestick formation, signifying indecision between bulls and bears.

    A Doji is quite often found at the bottom and top of trends and thus is considered as a sign

    of possible reversal of price direction, but the Doji can be viewed as a continuation pattern

    as well.

    A Doji is formed when the opening price and the closing price are equal. A long-legged Doji,

    often called a "Rickshaw Man" is the same as a Doji, except the upper and lower shadows

    are much longer than the regular Doji formation.

    The creation of the Doji pattern illustrates why the Doji represents such indecision. After theopen, bulls push prices higher only for prices to be rejected and pushed lower by the bears.

    However, bears are unable to keep prices lower, and bulls then push prices back to the

    opening price.

    Of course, a Doji could be formed by prices moving lower first and then higher second,

    nevertheless, either way, the market closes back where the day started.

    The chart below of General Electric (GE) stock shows two examples of Doji's:

    DOJI : - Daily Chart General Electric ( GE )

    In a Doji pattern, the market explores its options both upward and downward, but cannot

    commit either way. After a long uptrend, this indecision manifest by the Doji could be

    viewed as a time to exit one's position, or at least scale back. Similarly, after a long

    downtrend, like the one shown above of General Electric stock, reducing one's position size

    or exiting completely could be an intelligent move.

    It is important to emphasize that the Doji pattern does not mean reversal, it means

    indecision. Doji's are often found during periods of resting after a significant move higher or

    lower; the market, after resting, then continues on its way. Nevertheless, a Doji pattern is agreat sign that a prior trend is losing its strength, and taking some profits might be well

    advised.

    The Gravestone Doji is created when the open, low, and close are the same or about the

    same price (Where the open, low, and close are exactly the same price is quite rare). The

    most important part of the Graveston Doji is the long upper shadow.

    The long upper shadow is generally interpreted by technicians as meaning that the market

    is testing to find where supply and potential resistance is located.

    The construction of the Gravestone Doji pattern occurs when bulls are able to press prices

    upward.

    However, an area of resistance is found at the high of the day and selling pressure is able to

    push prices back down to the opening price. Therefore, the bullish advance upward was

    entirely rejected by the bears.

    Gravestone Doji Example

    The chart below of Altria (MO) stock illustrates a Gravestone Doji that occured at the top of

    an uptrend:

    Gravestone Doji

    Daily Chart Altria ( MO )

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    In the chart above of Altria (MO) stock, the market began the day testing to find where

    support would enter the market. Altria eventually found resistance at the high of the day,

    and subsequently fell back to the opening's price.

    The Gravestone Doji is an extremely helpful Candlestick reversal pattern to help traders

    visually see where resistance and supply is likely located. After an uptrend, the Gravestone

    Doji can signal to traders that the uptrend could be over and that long positions should

    probably be exited. But other indicators should be used in conjunction with the Gravestone

    Doji pattern to determine an actual sell signal. A potential trigger could be a break of the

    upward trendline support.

    Evening Star

    The Evening Star Pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, usually occuring at the top of an

    uptrend. The pattern consists of three candlesticks:

    The first part of an Evening Star reversal pattern is a large bullish green candle. On the first

    day, bulls are definitely in charge, usually new highs were made.

    The second day begins with a bullish gap up. It is clear from the opening of Day 2 that bulls

    are in control. However, bulls do not push prices much higher. The candlestick on Day 2 is

    quite small and can be bullish, bearish, or neutral (i.e. Doji).

    Generally speaking, a bearish candle on Day 2 is a stronger sign of an impending reversal.

    But it is Day 3 that is the most significant candlestick.

    Day 3 begins with a gap down, (a bearish signal) and bears are able to press prices even

    further downward, often eliminating the gains seen on Day 1.

    Day 1 of the Evening Star pattern for Exxon-Mobil (XOM) stock above was a strong bullish

    candle, in fact it was so strong that the close was the same as the high (very bullish sign).

    Day 2 continued Day 1's bullish sentiment by gapping up. However, Day 2 was a Doji, which

    is a candlestick signifying indecision. Bulls were unable to continue the large rally of the

    previous day; they were only able to close slightly higher than the open.

    Day 3 began with a bearish gap down. In fact, bears took hold of Exxon-Mobil stock the

    entire day, the open was the same as the high and the close was the same as the low (a

    sign of very bearish sentiment). Also, Day 3 powerfully broke below the upward trendline

    that had served as support for XOM for the past week. Both the trendline break and the

    classic Evening Star pattern gave traders a signal to sell short Exxon-Mobil stock.

    The Evening Star pattern is a very powerful three candlestick bearish reversal pattern. The

    bullish equivalent of the Evening Star is the Morning Star pattern

    Morning Star Pattern

    Dialy Chart S&P Midcap 400 Depository Receipts ( MDY )

    Day 1 of the Morning Star pattern for the Midcap 400 (MDY) chart above was a strong

    bearish red candle. Day 2 continued Day 1's bearish sentiment by gapping down. However,Day 2 was a Doji, which is a candlestick signifying indecision. Bears were unable to continue

    the large decreases of the previous day; they were only able to close slightly lower than the

    open.

    Day 3 began with a bullish gap up. The bulls then took hold of the Midcap 400 exchange

    traded fund for the entire day. Also, Day 3 broke above the downward trendline that had

    served as resistance for MDY for the past week and a half. Both the trendline break and the

    classic Morning Star pattern gave traders a signal to go long and buy the Midcap 400

    exchange traded fund.

    The Morning Star pattern is a very powerful three candlestick bullish reversal pattern. The

    bearish equivalent of the Morning Star is the Evening Star pattern (see:Evening Star).

    Bearish Engulfing Pattern

    The Bearish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, usually occuring at

    the top of an uptrend. The pattern consists of two Candlesticks:

  • 8/14/2019 Project WIP

    46/62

    Smaller Bullish Candle (Day 1)

    Larger Bearish Candle (Day 2)

    Generally, the bullish candle real body of Day 1 is contained within the real body of the

    bearish candle of Day 2.

    The market gaps up (bullish sign) on Day 2; but, the bulls do not push very far higher

    before bears take over and push prices further down, not only filling in the gap down from

    the morning's open but also pushing prices below the previous day's open.

    With the Bullish Engulfing Pattern, there is an incredible change of sentiment from the

    bullish gap up at the open, to the large bearish real body candle that closed at the lows of

    the day. Bears have successfully overtaken bulls for the day and possibly for the next few

    periods.

    The chart below of Verizon (VZ) stock shows an example two Bearish Engulfing Patterns

    occuring at the end of uptrends:

    Bearish Engulfing Sell Signal

    Three methodologies for selling using the Bearish Engulfing Pattern are listed below in order

    of most aggressive to most conservative:

    1. Sell at the close of Day 2. An even stronger indication to sell is given when there isa substantial increase in volume that accompanies the large move downward inprice

    2. Sell on the day after the Bearish Engulfing Pattern occurs; by waiting until the nextday to sell, a trader is making sure that the bearish reversal pattern is for real andwas not just a one day occurance. In the chart above of Verizon, a trader wouldprobably entered on the day after the Bearish Engulfing Pattern because the selling

    continued.3. Usually trader's wait for other signals, such as a price break below the upward

    support line , before entering a sell order. However, in the case of Verizon above,the Bearish Engulfing Pattern occured at the same time as the trendline break belowsupport.

    Bullish Engulfing Pattern

    The Bullish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern is a bullish reversal pattern, usually occuring at

    the bottom of a downtrend. The pattern consists of two Candlesticks:

    Smaller Bearish Candle (Day 1)

    Larger Bullish Candle (Day 2)

    48/62

    The bearish candle real body of Day 1 is usually contained within the real body of the bullish

    candle of Day 2.

    On Day 2, the market gaps down; however, the bears do not get very far before bulls take

    over and push prices higher, filling in the gap down from the morning's open and pushing

    prices past the previous day's open.

    The power of the Bullish Engulfing Pattern comes from the incredible change of sentiment

    from a bearish gap down in the morning, to a large bullish real body candle that closes at

    the highs of the day. Bears have overstayed their welcome and bulls have taken control of

    the market.

    The chart below of the S&P 500 Depository Receipts Exchange Traded Fund (SPY) shows an

    example of a Bullish Engulfing Pattern occuring at the end of a downtrend:

    Bullish Engulfing Buy Signal

    There are three main times to buy using the Bullish Engulfing Pattern; the buy signals that

    are presented below are ordered from the most aggressive to most conservative:

    1. Buy at the close of Day 2 when prices rallied upwards from the gap down in themorning. A strong indication that the rally on Day 2 was significant and truly areversal of market sentiment, is if there was a substantial increase in volume thataccompanied the large move upward in price (see: Volume).

    2. Buy on the day after the Bullish Engulfing Pattern occurs; by waiting until the nextday to buy, a trader is making sure that the bullish reversal and enthusiasm of theprior day is continuing and was not just a one day occurance like a short coveringrally. In the chart above of the SPY's, a trader would likely not enter the market longon the day after the Bullish Engulfing Pattern because the market gapped down

    significantly and even made new lows. A trader using methodology #2, would likelywait for a more concrete buy signals such as the one presented in method #3 next.

    3. After a trader sees the Bullish Engulfing Pattern, the trader would wait for anothersignal, mainly a price break above the downward resistance line (see: Support &Resistance), before entering a buy order.

    Chart Patterns

    Double Bottom - Buy after a breakout of upside resistance, uses support &

    resistance concepts.

    Head & Shoulders - Sell after prices fall below support created by left shoulder

    and head.

    Flag - Continuation pattern, buy a breakout above consolidation or sell a

    breakout below support.

    Support & Resistance - Buy at support and sell at resistance; if support or

    resistance is broken through, buy in direction of move.

    Support and ResistanceSupport and Resistance is one of the most important and fundamental part of technical

    analysis:

    Support: Prices should rise after touching support.

    Resistance: Prices should fall after hitting resistance.

    An example of price respecting support and resistance lines is given next in the chart of the

    Semiconductor HOLDRS (SMH):

    Breaking Support & Resistance

    Another fundamental concept of support and resistance is listed next and is shown in the

    chart below of Alcoa (AA) stock:

    If price breaks below support, then that support level becomes the new

    resistance level.

    If price breaks above support, then that resistance level becomes the new

    support level.

    Support and Resistance

    Daily Chart - Alcoa ( AA )

    Support and Resistance are basic yet vitally important technical analysis tools. On every

    time frame, intra-day, daily, weekly, and monthly, Support and Resistance levels are

    respected by traders. Knowledge of these levels helps keep a trader on the correct side of

    the market, thus helping the trader profit.
