SPWR had a huge bull breakout of a failed wedge bear flag. When a wedge fails there is often a measured move based on the height of the wedge. Prices are also testing above the top of the bear breakout and sell climax of August 2016. However prices are still within a large trading range (always look left!). This increases the likelihood of heavy two sided...

BYND broke out to a new all time high last week and tested above the 200 level where there was profit taking. Last week became a buy climax and prices are currently testing below the bottom of the climax. When a climax forms, prices often correct in two legs sideways to down (or up with a sell climax). However, there is still an open bull gap around 163. If...

In a previous post I talked about this being a risky time to buy for a long term investment in the S&P , Emini, SPY , or MES . Despite what the media may want you to believe - this market is no longer in a strong bull trend. If it was, prices would break out strongly above previous highs. But what is happening instead? Prices go mostly sideways to down, signalling...

Bitcoin is in the midst of a developing trading range. Despite what many hope to be the start of a strong bull rally - it is necessary to view what is happening, without biases, hopes and desires. In my last analysis post of bitcoin I talked about bull profit taking. Last week the bears created a strong bear bar and sell setup for a failed bull breakout and...

The bulls reversed the market up in two small legs (Jun 3, Jun 24) from the nested wedge bottom. Last week formed a second entry for a potential larger second leg up where the Jun 24 rally is the first. However this has not yet triggered and today is currently a bear bar near the low of last week. If this week closes as a bear bar, it will be a weaker buy setup...

VFF has pulled back in two legs sideways to down after a strong bull rally. The bulls have a 60% chance of a second bull leg up before there is a strong bear reversal. Last week broke below the 14 first leg down. This is where the bears need to be the strongest. This is also where strong bulls (and bears) will start looking to buy for trend continuation. ...

SYMC is at the bottom of a bull flag trading range and in the midst of an expanding triangle. Prices have been volatile the past two weeks, with gaps up and down. Both sides are fighting for follow through. The bulls have a slight advantage because we are near the bottom of a bull flag trading range. The bears need a strong breakout below the 16 higher low. ...

The bulls now have a 60% chance of creating a second leg up and test of the middle of the upper trading range around 300. The bears need a strong breakout below the 180 higher low. The probability of...
