Analysis Help?

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the correct forum; move if necessary.

 

I'm seeing something that I've never seen before and I'd like any ideas on what to make o it. Look at the price and volume chart 2 min for zagg for the entire day for the last three days.

 

What's going on?

 

Thanks,

David

I apologize for not posting the screenshots. I'm such a rookie that I don't have a good charting service. I use google and draw myself. I was looking to see if if there were clues indicating money was trying to build a position. I'm long with calls but many of the technicals were showing a continuation of the bear trend (I could explain my contrarian position, but that's not the point here). Here's what I saw:

 

1. Tue Mar 29: stock was slowly continuing down trend with very little volume all day long. In last 30 minutes of trading or huge spikes in volume with prices driving up to close up for day near/at high of day.

2. Thur March 31: repeat exact same pattern

3. Fri April 1: repeat exact same pattern and I post question

4. Mon Apr4: stock opens up, continues increased volume for day, and closes up 4.32%

 

Now my question is, what are the signs of institutional money building a large position over a small timeframe?

 

Thanks for your patience with a noob.

There are people far wiser than me when it comes to determining what looks like institutional investments. Obviously some of the basics you're saying indicate some buying/accumulation with strong closes on volume.

 

I'm more of a straight technical trader since I have never really seen how to get an edge trying to determine what you are.

 

For me my two buy points here would be the break of $8.50 on an aggressive and $9 on a more conservative - and not looking for a huge runner just breaks above $10.

So that's the sad part: I use more technical analysis than fundamental, and that's not obvious. I'm learning...Any way, a few days after all this, a major partnership was announced. The after hours spiked enormously, but the day session rally didn't sustain.

 

It seems more and more like institutional money is building position, but for some reason, neither the price nor volume is reacting as I would've guessed (with my ver limited experience/knowledge).

 

It will be interesting to continue to watch. FYI- My position is working as I had planned, but not with the same characteristics I had pre-supposed.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
