The Market Guys

When I look at a chart, the first thing I do is scan the price action to see if there are any recognizable patterns. As you can see from this one-year, daily candle chart of AMZN, there is a pattern of upside gaps that are followed by fairly long trading channels that have lasted about […]

As you can see from the 3-year weekly chart of Google, the stock rallied quite a bit in 4-weeks ago and just after a bullish engulfing showed up on the chart. This week, the stock is showing a long shadow above the candle, which suggests that the sellers are starting to move into the stock.

Let’s go through the checklist…There is a gap above the market, we have a well-defined green candle, and the volume has been dropping as the price has been falling (bullish). I did not add a 50-day moving average to this chart, but if I did you would see a very wide divergence from the SMA, […]

As you can see from the daily candle chart above, the stock is starting to pivot off of a well-established support level within at textbook triangle pattern. In the video, I also pointed out the […]

Selling a credit put spread is a bullish strategy so we have to first make sure the chart is showing bullish signs.
