Candles and Financial Stocks

Recommended Posts

Well then lets talk about the candles on BSC, I would definitely call that a correction and the stock is definitely in a down trend. But if you look at the last few candles they are squeezing in between the 8 and 21 EMA the last two days have produced dojis... both days have less volume than the previous. Could you possibly use VSA to figure out who is buying/selling?

 

Just from looking at the chart, I would say it almost seems as if buying has been exhausted and they could be continuation dojis - but as we all know anything new from the Fed and this stock will rocket higher.

Now lets look at the dow. We have a nice bullish candle that broke through the 21 EMA and opened right on top of the 8EMA, normally thats a very bullish sign. In fact if we look back to around August 6th-13th nearly the same thing, we opened on top of the 8 EMA and closed well above the 21 EMA only slam on the ground the next day. What I find interesting about that day is it was right at a pivot point where there was previous resistance between the end of May and middle of July. Right now we are doing the same thing, we found resistance again Friday on that bullish candle (with very low volume).

The weekly chart is much the same, we are pushing right against resistance. In fact we closed nearly at the high of the previous week and again much lower volume and a clear down trend on the weekly chart. But as we all know, if you look at the "long term" trend that hasn't yet been broken.

I think we will see a fight between the bulls and the bears, if we move higher the next stop will be 13,700 so if we close higher tomorrow then it might be a good idea to go long. I think this last week was a lot of the same thing - people finding cheap plays and picking them up for a quick gain. Obviously though they feel confident going into the weekend holding a long position because of Fridays candle. But who was behind the low volume and how does that go into the validation of the candle?

 

Sorry if my post was all over the place, if something didn't make sense just ask me and I will try my best to clear it up.

James,

 

Here's my thoughts on BSC...

As for your DIA analysis, I can appreciate the work you are doing, so I say keep it up. Since there's so many ways to trade, I don't necessarily follow everything that you've stated here, but it does look like excellent work. I am a candle purist and in my opinion, you needed to ALREADY be long, not considering a position now. That's just my opinion, but it's nice to have this discussion since the Candlestick Corner can be a bit quiet... :blushed:

 

Side note - you're obviously doing some homework here and that should be recognized. Not sure how old you are and/or what your future plans are, but I see the groundwork of a technician here in the making... We'd all love to just trade our own money from the Bahamas, but that's not always the case, at least in the beginning. I would start building a little portfolio of your analysis now if you think that some kind of analyst/technician job could be of interest later. I mean, you are already doing the work, so just do it assuming this could be your ticket to a job in Manhattan helping to run a billion dollar mutual fund or hedge fund. I offer this advice b/c there's some stuff that I wish someone would have told me when I was younger.

GS may be a good play, I like the hammer on the weekly chart. Look how last week price nearly fell to the 200 SMA then the bulls took control. Now notice how the daily chart looks familiar to that of BSC, but we are finding support on the 8 EMA. Again though the falling volume worries me, but since it's so widespread I'm willing to just accept it.

btw Brownsfan, if you want to move these posts and start a similar financials thread then that is fine with me. I know this is sort of going off topic.

BSC broke support today along the 8 EMA - could this be a leading indicator of what's to come? Volume was higher but still very light.

 

GS is still finding support on the 8 EMA and moving sideways on lighter and lighter volume.

 

MER has a gap that is yet to be filled, and shows a very similar candle to BSC before it broke support today. Again, we see falling volume over the last few days.

 

LEH - much of the same. Stuck between the 8 and 21 EMA with falling volume. Although the candles are slightly different, I am still worried that it can't break resistance. I rarely use RSI, the only times I pay attention to it is when I see some sort of a pattern forming. On all financial stocks I am seeing support and the line turning back down.

 

They are all forming some sort of a wedge. Something will push these stocks one or the other sometime this week I believe. Now the question is, what is there currently in the chart that could point us one direction or the other?

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
