Markets always has tendency to fill gap zones. If you draw fib extensions / retracements on previous few swings , every 1.618 extension ends up in our marked zone 1618 is more valid ratio & we can expect market to move up after reaching the zone. ABCD pattern completion also in same zone. This is 4h chart of SBIN so will take time to complete, just keep it...

EA has been in a good uptrend since 2012 and I have often looked at it during this time. However, it is susceptible to deep pullbacks so has never been worth serious consideration. More recently (since the October 2014 low) a more reliable trend has begun to develop. The daily 50sma is now working well as support. Gaps up also have been corresponding with...
EL has been cropping up on my lists quite a lot recently - overall it is an upwardly trending stock and has been since 2009/2010. However, the trend is not at all easy to trade - even for a longer-term trend trader. There have been many periods of extended consolidation - the duration (rather than the depth ) has been the main sticking point. In the last few...
EFX has been in a pretty good trend since 2012. There have been a few pullbacks which would have been too deep to wait out. But more recently it looks like price has begun to trend again quite nicely. As yet we are not seeing a good linear trend. After the fake breakout below the 200sma on the daily chart (October 2014), however, the daily 50sma has provided good...
JLL yesterday gapped up on higher volume and a good earnings report. But it hasn't yet comfortably cleared the recent pivot high of 2nd April. I last looked at JLL 5 months ago in November 2014. The analysis suggested price would be heading higher - which it has done. But some of the pullbacks have been a little deeper than a trend trader would have liked -...
I last analysed AAPL on 18th March and my conclusion was that I would wait for a break above the February pivot high before considering a new position on this stock. This has not occurred and, despite the buzz and excitement around Apples latest earnings announcement today, I will still be standing aside until I get confirmation that this high has been taken...
FTNT only has data going back to 2009 and has been in consolidation for the majority of that time. However, it has a good volume of stock traded on a daily basis and is nicely priced at below $50 (making it cheaper to trade than more expensive stocks). Since breaking out above the 2012 pivot high ($28.82) in December 2014 price did retrace to retest this zone...
I have recently being reading a lot of about institutional buying and selling. And this looks like a perfect accumulation phase from the institutions
Based on recent material I have read about institutional buying and selling this looks like a perfect accumulation phase. Notes are on the chart :)
Price retraced to open gap's support level, penetrated 12EMA, I doubled the range to set target.
GPN has just broken through the $100 mark and the chart patterns suggest price could go higher. However, when this stock hit $50 (in 2006) it moved into an extremely prolonged consolidation. This lasted until the end of 2013 and the range was deep (between about $30-$55). For this reason I would recommend sitting tight until the $100 mark is comfortably cleared...
WWAV doesn't have much data but it has been trending up since 2013. There was a long period of consolidation from September 2014 to February 2015. Although technically the consolidation didn't start until November the November high was only marginally higher - and price pretty much traded within the September pivot high and October pivot low range until the...
MDVN was a possible long for me back in November 2014. Price had broken above the $100 figure and retested it with a bull flag formation and I felt this was enough to propel price higher (which it did, marginally, a few weeks later). However, the move could not be sustained and price came back down to retest the $100 figure on several occasions - most notably to...
I posted on KR just a couple of weeks ago (18th February) making a big case for entering long into this stock if you weren't already in it. The next bar saw price continue to rise - followed by 10 days of pullback! However, the 50ma held strong (with a hammer reversal candle just below the $70 round number) and any long-term position with a reasonable stop loss...
CRL is a stock which has recently appeared on my watchlist after comfortably clearing the double top formation from 2008. It had begun to trend well prior to this (since the golden cross in September 2014 - although price did retrace to retest the 200ma a few weeks later). The gap up on 11th February saw price convincingly clear the $70 round number and recent...
I last looked at FSL a couple of weeks ago on the second gap up after the break of 2014 pivot high. This gap up on 13th February was not a convincing one (due to the indecision candle) so the subsequent pullback was not unexpected. However, the gap did not get completely filled - and yesterday's gap up (on higher volume) comfortably cleared the most recent pivot...
Since breaking above $100 a few weeks ago DIS has been on my watchlist. The first opportunity to enter was after the first bull flag/retest of the $100 figure - as this showed resistance turning into support. This may have been a little early to be confident that the gap would hold - but either of the subsequent breakouts offer more solid conviction that the...
