Agilent looking for technology rallyMy models say the Fed cannot raise rates beyond 0.5 points tomorrow or they cannot be trusted in the future. We should see a quick rally to end this week and perhaps begin next week, before the reality of $6+ fuel prices set in again and we continue the bear market.
Based on historical movement, the trough could occur anywhere in the larger red box. The final targets are in the green boxes. The pending top should occur within the larger green box as has been the historical case. Half of all movement has ended in the smaller green box. In this instance, the signal indicated BUY on June 10, 2022 with a closing price of 121.62.
If this instance is successful, that means the stock should rise to at least 122.53 which is the bottom of the larger green box. Three-quarters of all successful signals have the stock rise 2.205% from the signal closing price. This percentage is the bottom of the smaller green box. Half of all successful signals have the stock rise 3.812% which is the end point of the black dotted arrow. One-quarter of all successful signals have the stock rise 6.56% from the signal closing price which is the top of the smaller green box. The maximum rise on record would see a move to the top of the larger green box. These are the same concepts for the levels in the red boxes as well.
The ends/vertical sides of the boxes are determined in a similar fashion. The peak of the rise can occur as soon as the next trading bar after signal close, while the max rise occurs within the limit of study at 50 trading bars after the signal. A 0.4% rise must occur over the next 50 trading bars in order to be considered a success. Three-quarters of successful movement occur after at least 18 trading bars; half occur within 28 trading bars, and one-quarter require at least 38 trading bars.
The black dotted arrow represents median historical movement. Medians are a good metric, but they are just one of many I use when forecasting future movement.
As always, the stock could decline the very next bar after the signal without looking back (therefore the red boxes would not come into play) or the stock may never decline (and the green boxes may never come into play).
Agilent Technologies - Return to 0.382A broadening wedge led to a break out up, this break out is now topping and in bearish stages
The bearish action has not stopped yet, it will fall when price reaches 0.382 (pink dotted line). This line in history has been seen as an area of Resistance, so in turn will be seen as an area of Support
A white uptrend line can also be drawn through the wedge, pinpointing the place where the bear move should stop
Daily timeframe
Bear FlagsIt seems there is no shortage of bear flags as of late. A bear flag can deceive folks and being aware that a security is forming one can help. Folks who are stuck sell on these brief rallies up and then the down trend continues.
Each bear flag is a bearish chart pattern that's formed by two declines separated by a brief consolidating retracement period. The flagpole forms on an almost vertical panic price drop as bulls get blindsided from the sellers, then a bounce, or a brief rally up, that has parallel upper and lower trendlines, which form the flag. The trendlines of a bear flag often slope up against the prevailing downtrend but can also be horizontal like a small rectangle.
A Pennant is usually more wedge shaped as a rule and shorter in duration than a flag.
Agilent Technologies has several bear flags so far on the trip down from a steep climb up. The trip down can be a lot longer in duration than the trip up to the top.
It is possible for a bear flag to break up, and a bull flag can break to the downside. The pole on a bear flag is Down on a bear flag and usually occurs after a sharp decline or a gap down. You can measure the pole and project it downward to get a ball park guesstimate of where price may go.
The initial sell-off comes to an end through some profit-taking and forms a tight range making slightly higher lows and higher highs. This can easily be mistaken for a possible bottom.
Traders are entering long positions looking for a reversal and this forces price to drift in an upwards direction. One should be prepared to take action should price break down through the lower lower trendline which is support until broken, then it is resistance. A break of this trendline signals that the bears are in control again and ready to force another sell-off.
The success of a bear flag can be greater after a significant downside move due to the possible increase of overhead resistance. This is a further blow to a security that, at this point, has a lot of resistance overhead.
Bear flags can be stronger when the swing low that begins the pattern is also an all-time low due to the possible lack of underlying support.
A Bear flag is opposite of a bull flag.
This is a great company and eventually the drop down will end. Short interest is very low.
LONG AI originally found this stock through a FINVIZ screener. Both fundamental and technical analysis leads me to the conclusion that this is a great stock to buy
FA:
-Their income statement and balance sheet for the past few years has been trending upwards which is a great indicator of success to come.
-Their sector is in health tech and currently have a market cap around 42B.
-Their current ratio is 2.2 which is really good. this means they have 2x the assets to pay for their current liabilities.
-Their Debt radio is 49% which is amazing. Mean if they need loans they will be able to pay for them because their Assets double their liabilities
TA:
-RSI is extremely low and in the oversold territory, this presents a massive upward possibility
-MACD is very low and also presents a massive upward possibility
-SRSI is also extremely low, once it passes the 20 mark would be a great time to enter the trade and can be taken as a sign that the stock will reverse its current downtrend.
-Currently in an box right where there was support found last time price was here
There is 0 reason I found on FA for this stock to be trending downwards. This looks like a healthy market correction and should be seen as a fire sale.
Since the stock has had a large correction now would be the perfect entry for a long term position. This is an S&P 500 stock not a fad, so its great to build a long term position in and especially at its discount price
Be SafeThis is a weekly chart.
So far, this security is not having a drastic drop daily like many others are, but I am sill not going there; like labeling things, securities, as parabolic because the second I do they break to the upside.
So this is just a "keep my eye on it"
There are certain securities I keep my eyes on and this is one of them. Not buying here as it still looks too steep for me. I guess I had no clue it would get to this high early on and sold too soon. It happens, I suppose, to all of us.
It happens, yet we do not always forget and I have been following this in amazement since it surpassed my target to the upside
and now it has started dropping.
So I set alerts all the way down and hope that I find it when I see a buy signal. I have not yet. You may. Still too steep for me )o:
We are all different. No recommendation.
Short percent is 5.45%/Negative volume remains high. NVI can represent big money and is similar to OBV. NVI is volume on down days. Sometimes even those folks finally give up )'
The 1 minute time frame can show you where those folks give up and buy at a certain level. Even big money has a breaking point. It is just usually lower than ours is. And that is most often how they win.
The investors I reference have many more years to wait that I, or maybe you do. For some, they buy at the bottom and realize they are doing their job an will no longer be here in years to come. There are folks out there who have more time on earth than I do. That is something to consider for sure in this game. Knowing what type of trader you are and what your time frame is are paramount.
And your rules you made when you started trading or investing. Those are the most important statements of all.
For me:
****Lessons learned: Buying a security to make your money back that you lost the first time around is usually not a good idea. Just because I like the security does not mean it will go up at that particular time. I have to watch the rotation. A time limit, or a bottom pattern works best for me but we are all different.
***Do not set my stop loss too close if I want to hang. 2 X ATR will keep me safe enough for my IRA. I am more cautious with my individual account/Go figure?. If I do not want to be sure I hang, set it a bit below the nearest support. When I set it below closest support, they find me eventually and I do not get to hang. I stopped doing this after lesson learned. I suppose everyone else had their stop there as well. Dunno.
1. Knowing Why I am buying this security (or why not), What is motivating me?
2. What is my exit strategy? Many times being time, but many use price. If a security does not move in 5 days and I see no chance, let go. This can also be a stop loss where I feel it is a doomer and I lost that round. No biggy because there are plenty more to choose from. Every now and then this stop loss is not hit and I am happy it was not hit. But I know it is there. As a rule I do not enter stop losses and hope that I catch it or know better before hand. This is not a good practice, especially on a high risk security in this particular market which is volatile. It does depend on what I am holding these days. IE XLU, MSFT, CMCSA or VZ etc I will hang on for now. I plan to buy AAPL back when it is down a quite a bit. (Slowly buying back TTD presently and QCOM as well when things settle) I am not in the mood to worry right now (o:
3. How much, considering what is motivating me, am I willing to risk on this particular security? Did I look for overbought conditions before I bought this?
4. Another stop loss which is a price I will sell at which is not the same as number 2. Number 3 means I did win or did not win and is usually determined later. It can be a trailing stop. This can mean even if I did not get the max total but I am see I will lose money I have made very soon. Or it can mean I just flat out picked a loser and it is time to let go. These are both risk management. There is no way to telepathically know this. Only rules can help most people with this. After a while you can either feel this or not so rules are probably best for most. Buying in increments can also help. And you will be right, or wrong some of the time. I have learned not to sweat it too much! Sometimes getting out of the market with a profit is better than sitting back and taking a loss. This is one reason I have learned to keep my holdings smaller so I can watch earnings and charts. It is just easier for me to keep up with 10 versus 20.
5. Look for patterns or whatever it is you follow on hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly. Maybe look at lower time frames when getting in and higher time frames for staying in. A 20 year maximum monthly confirmed uptrend that does not look like the stairway to heaven is less likely to screw me over. I hope. But always remember it can!
A bottom is not always the bottom. You may think it is dirt cheap, but even dirt can get cheaper! PE 30.01 EPS 4.84 MKT Cap 44 B

$A god move coming~After the amazing impulsive move to an ATH we came back to the 61 fib line which is a great pullback and a healthy one.
~we are in a wedge rn and are looking at a breakout next week
~~Bull flag highlighted in white looking hella fine, hinting at a breakout happening for the bulls
~Red zone is SL
~Green zone is take Profit max
~white zones in between will be key resistance points.
~VI indicator shows momentum is about to turn back to bullish. With earnings coming up on the 22nd, this could be a run-up to earnings play
Time for A to go D(own)You like my clever title? Zoom out on this chart and you will see this stock has almost doubled in a matter of months. Monthly RSI is 90, daily RSI is about the same, this thing is ready to crack, and crack it will. It looks like we just backtested the most recent rising wedge trajectory, usually a fall is the next step. Do yourself a favor and consider puts at least several weeks out, then enjoy the free money that results. Short at will.
Do your own DD, I have no idea what I'm doing.

It’s no doubt, this company has seen incredible growth seeing over 200% since the COVID lows.
But in my honest opinion, the valuation is ridiculous.
Agilent Technologies is starting to look like a “Parabolic Curve Step-like Formation” on the monthly timeframe w/ the
RSI ridiculously oversold.
- 5.90 on the daily.
- 10.96 on the weekly.
- 90.00 0n the monthly.
MACD overstretched.
- 5.90 on the daily
- 10.96 on the weekly
- 20.98 on the monthly
I suggest keeping this on your watchlist.
- Factor Four
Wow, That's Overbought.Good morning everyone! From now on, every Thursday morning we will be highlighting our favorite trade setup of the week. This week, we will be taking a look at a short setup in A.
Agilent Technologies makes lab equipment for life sciences and chemical companies, which is a stable and growing market. The company does a lot in revenue - roughly 6 Billion over the last twelve months - and it makes solid net income margins in the mid teens. Growth is slow but stable. Over the last twelve months, demand for the company's products increased as a result of the COVID pandemic, and resulting demand bump for biotech equipment. Because of this, the company saw it's highest period of growth in the last decade with a 17% bump in revenue. The company is well run, and that top line growth will drop straight to the bottom line in the form of increased earnings.
As a result of this business catalyst, and the bump in performance, the stock, since COVID lows, has rallied nearly 200% to it's current price around $173 per share.
We are looking to short this move.
This is because the stock, on a multiple basis, has re-rated as though it will experience a higher level of growth for the long term. The valuation is incredibly stretched at a 50x FWD P/E, which constitutes a nearly 35% increase to A's long term average multiple. Given that the company will, operationally, likely mean revert to a lower rate of long term growth, this multiple expansion basically constitutes "peak sentiment", in our view. Not to mention that the stock is also one of the most technically overbought names in the entire market, at a 89 RSI and 60 ADX.
"The trend is your friend till the end". We believe that the end is near, and the stock is a short.
Cheers!
Is Roche/RHHBY an under-performing stock? Is Agilent overpriced?these four are signficant players in the genome sequencing market, but RHHB stock price hasn't take off in the same way, and Agilent is way out in front.
Does this make RHHB a good buy, or, is there something wrong, and making the others a better prospect? Is Agilent a sell?
