$SPY/$QQQ Bullish Harami PrintsThe ETF's tracking the markets printed some true Bullish Harami patterns for the past two days, which according to some research says that the next days move is up 53% of the time, while the next day is down 47% of the time. See attached figure. If the pattern presents in a downtrend, the smaller the body of the second candle means the stronger the signal. This is a pretty small candle compared to the first, and it would not be surprising at all to see tomorrow be a green day in SPY. However, as noted in linked post, we remain range bound by the weekly Long Legged Doji to between 294 and 282 areas. Until those are broken, expect to see this back and forth. Trade accordingly. Happy hunting, and GLTA!! www.feedroll.com

$GRUB True Bullish Harami DailyGRUB GrubHub has just completed printing a true Bullish Harami candlestick pattern at the bottom of a downtrend. Attached link to diagram explaining the rules for the bullish harami. Large bearish candle, followed by a gap up from close bearish candle, whose body is no bigger than 25% the preceding bear candle. In addition to this pattern, the RSI has shown a breakout from its downtrend pattern and oversold conditions. This looks like a good, short term long play to me, I like the August 23rd C62.5, currently around .55 per contract. Happy hunting and GLTA!! a.c-dn.net
forexTrdr AUDUSD - OVERSOLD, 2X BULLISH HARAMI & UPTURN IN STOCHMorning traders,
Lovely technical set up in Aussie Dollar versus US dollar after the recent strength in US Dollar taking this pair to the bottom of its recent 70 to 72 range including what looks like a false breakout yesterday down to 0.6988.
Looking to enter a long at the market following a combination of technicals adding to support. Firstly we saw two back to back bullish harami candle formations yesterday which suggest a future bullish trend. Secondly the pair failed to close below key technical level of 0.70 on the daily and formed a doji candle pointing to a change in future direction. Thirdly RSI has been stuck in very oversold levels and lastly Stochastics is showing a turn higher from oversold levels.
Our only issue is that later today we have US GDP data which may provide US dollar strength. As such the higher risk news event should be considered on sizing this trade.
As always this is not a trade recommendation and simply technical observation.
Good luck trading
