Ubisoft downtrend confirmation or island reversal?Ubisoft has been stuck in a downtrend for awhile now, an initial island can be observed and linked to the current downfall of this stock. Currently the price is trading within a downtrend, where a second island bottom is present, which may lead to a reversal at the immediate support zone. Overall the bearish momentum, outweighs the possible bullish factors.

AKRX Island bottomAKRX can be observed as detrended from its major trendline formed. However this may be recovered with the formation of an island bottom just below the trendline, potentially pushing the price back up into the buy zone. Islands are very predictable chart patterns of reversals in bullish markets (23/24) according to ‘Encyclopedia of chart patterns’.

Twitter IslandsClear island top and bottom, this island bottom represents a great entry point for long positions, possible rejection at MA level, leading to a cup and handle, islands represent a reversal point in the market. They are like a gem.
INTC IslandsIslands form when 'prices gap up to the formation and then gap down at the same price level' this is what traders would call an island top, where the initial breakout is upward, forming the island seen, and then a drop back down to the water follows so to speak. With a 23/23 success rate in a bull market according to 'Encyclopedia of chart patterns' islands are a reliable way of picking possible reversal points.
CNI - Island in the sunCNI has an Island Reversal pattern from a small gap down in early October to the gap up a couple of weeks later. Bullish momentum has continued with a couple of strong volume bullish days to show the transition. If the price can hold above $86.60 then the bullish momentum should continue.
ZS - Scaling InZS had a gap up due to earnings back on March 1st. The stock saw a rise in price within a bullish price channel but was creating a bearish divergence with the RSI indicator. Even with the pullback, the price remained in the bullish channel until it broke down in mid-August.
Another earnings report in September led to a gap down that created an Island Reversal pattern & carried the stock price below the March gap, which was now acting as resistance.
The stock price continued falling as it tested that March gap resistance a few times but as the price fell the RSI has moved higher creating a Bullish Divergence.
With the price moving out of an oversold condition I am looking for the price to move up to re-test the September gap resistance. Depending on bullish momentum the stock may be able to continue rising to fill the September gap.
IBM - Intrigued by Big BlueIBM recently gapped down after an earnings release. That gap down blew passed a previously existing gap from September 5th, leaving it open. Despite the earnings hit the stock did not fall below the previously existing support line dating back to June. If the stock starts finding some buyers it may be possible that the stock gaps back up creating an Island Reversal pattern. The $136.25 area will become important. Does it act as resistance, or will the price push right through? Chart is offering a nice reward-risk for bulls.

I would not enter a bullish position on NYSE:WMT without seeking this confirmation first.
Please make your bets. Dax in a put situationMoin from Hamburg
as described in detail in the TC24 live trading room, the DAX is in a put situation (grey area) on a daily basis. There are many arguments for rising (e.g. interest rate cut USA) but also for falling prices - both chart technical and fundamental. The next few days will tell us more where the journey is heading. Perhaps the recently opened reporting season for US companies will provide the necessary impulses.
Dax prices above 12,400-12,440 significantly increase the chances of further increases, even long term. On the other hand, if the Dax closes below 12,300 points (end of day), the first profit target is the support line at 12,189.
Despite the good volatility on an intraday basis, daily traders should wait until the Dax is leaving the grey zone.
Good trades!
Is this the start of an island reversal for Galliford?It's early days, but an island reversal could happen.
I think politics will drive the price more than mergers and acquisitions.
US 30 Shooting Star above .786 Fibo: Graveyard Doji or Bull Run?Chart says all. Let's get confirmation with a nice juicy red Bear Engulfing Doji. Sand P pivoted EXACTLY at 0.786 on 2812 today- fantastic!
Pos: Shorted QQQ, Long TECS. Not investment advice, trade at your own risk, but it's where I placed my bets.
Gaps tend to get filled, if gap up fills by gap down, we get island reversal with a graveyard... We at the end of an extended 5th EW. GLTA!
Potential Reversion Island? (Wishful thinking so far)I think that this might happen if we were to have a trade deal.
Chip Stock Island GapChip stocks look waaay overdone, yet I don't think it's over. If you look at just 2019, this gap looks like an exhaustion gap, but if you look at the semiconductor ETF (SMH), you can see that it looks more like an island gap.
Wait at least until SMH hits $106 before shorting chips. Also, chip stocks were strong last Feb/March.
Not sure if SMH is worth chasing at this point, NXPI reports AH tonight though, I have some calls for that.
