Bullish. Has cleared the dark cloud on 25/4. Need to overcome the major resistance of 2.14 which it is currently doing. Support levels are at 2.10 and 2.00. TP 1 = 2.16 ; TP2 = 2.21 & TP 3 = 2.37.
Has turned bearish with an immediate support price of 0.855 and an immediate resistance of 0.96. Made a MACD bearish crossover on 15/4. It has retraced more than 61.8% since it first broke out with volume on 24/3. Major support is at 0.80. Any further selling tomorrow with volume,could see it trending towards 0.855
However it was a month ago. Need TCB to see whether TA it is remained the same. Thanks.
cherry tomato , profitMan or Sf will update GHLsys as they are covering the counter.
If you follow my posts i never use indicators except to look for Bullish or Bearish Divergence.
Everyone reads TA differently and I respect whatever TA they used.
As i always say, TA is only a guide you need a plan while buying into any stock. The reading could change due to certain unexpected development and a counter can turn from Bullish to Bearish in a split second.
The TCB is here to help read charts, but we could not control the sequence of events that might affect the price of any stock.
Cherry tomato - thank you so much for helping out. You are fantastic. Appreciate it.
GHLSys: Major support of 0.80 was broken and it found strong support at 0.755. Now re-testing to break its immediate resistance at 0.87 convincingly with the gap up yesterday with volume. If overcome, the resistance level is at 0.96. If it fails to stay above 0.87, it should find immediate support at 0.815/0.82.
# KRETAM—Found the new low at $0.535 which stage 4 of the cycle ended. Now it is at stage 1 of the cycle, it is expected to trade between $0.585 to $0.65. A break below $0.585 spells trouble may retest its previous low of $0.535.A break above $0.65 may find strong resistance at $0.685. The trouble with this stock is it has lots of overhang to clear. If you are bottom fishing, make sure you exit if $0.535 is violated.# ( March 2014)
I did the chart reading for KRETAM in March, the scenario remains the same. Stage 1 of the cycle, sometimes takes weeks/months during this consolidation period (Or we refer to Accumulation stage).
TDM—After hitting high of $1.13 it has a big pull back to a new low of $0.96, the big pull back must have shaken out lots of traders. It rebounded to $1.02 but have failed to clear and stay above $1.02. It is trading sideways between $0.975 to $1.02 with strong support at $0.96. A break above $1.02 will take it to its next strong resistance at $1.06, unless this level is taken out with volumes TDM may trade sideways for a longer period. Exit if $0.95 is violated.
profitMan, you did THPLANT earlier, anything to update on this counter ? Happy Trading..
Dear TCB it is possible to have chart system in order to learn TA? Or can be learn from book, net and video B4 proceed to purchase chart system? Thanks.
Temporarily it has overcome the resistance at 2.14 and has hit TP1 of 2.16. If it managed to maintain above 2.14, it will be trending towards TP2 at 2.21.
cherry tomato - For a start, the free Chart Nexus will do. You can learn TA from books, internet and videos, no problem. Whether you want to purchase the chart system or not depends on your needs. Some people trade armed with just their TA knowledge and Chart Nexus and they are very successful.
Of course, if you buy the system, it offers you more value added information and alerts and stuff like that. But acquire the basic TA knowledge first. Don't need to learn everything all at one go. You can start with recognizing and interpreting candlestick charts and chart patterns and knowing where support and resistance are and the implications of volume.
Don't bother about other indicators first. Start interpreting real life charts of stocks that you trade or of any other stocks of interest to you and you can post it here for Matrix and others to add notes to it. That way, you speed up your learning process. Once you become better at it, then you start introducing other indicators that you wish to familiarize with, one at a time into your reading. This way, you don't get confused with too much info.
As the saying goes - before you can walk a thousand miles, you need to start with a 1st step. (sorry for being philosophical) Cheers.
Still in the correction phase. Today, it closed the gap support at 4.22/4.30 on the back of high volume, above MA30 and looks bearish. Not out of the woods yet. Can expect to see it trend towards the 4.00 zone on further weakness.
Not yet. It is still consolidating. It needs to clear the important resistance at 0.585 formed with the evening star formation on 15/5 with volume first. Please note that the daily volume traded remains low. For a bullish run to sustain, it needs to be accompanied with substantial volume on breakout.
ProfitMan , you made an important comment on TA about volume. TA believes volume confirms the Price action.. If the price advance and volume contract, we call it Price/Volume divergence and vice versa..
It opened today with a gap up and almost hit TP1 of 0.85, but fell short at 0.845. It succumbed to selling pressures and formed an engulfing bear implying that maybe it might undergo some correction. The support level to look out for is at S1 0.775/0.78.
JAYCORP—profitMan, you are right about the “Engulfing Bear” formed today that imply the bull momentum may shift to Bear..
For conservative traders, you may want to wait for tomorrow candle, if close above $0.795 it may have the chance to challenge the "Engulfing Bear" at $0.845 again.
Market cycle 2- Mark up which indicate bullish trend. The price just break through a long consolidation almost 1 and half year at 0.16. The price go up high and test resistance 1- 0.255. It need to break through to further test 0.27. Evening star formed on 15/05 and the price drop since then. However, 22/5 candle looked good, it formed a piercing pattern. The price may continue go up tomorow. Support 1 at 0.195 and suport 2 at 0.18. Cut loss if the price drop further 0.16.
Gji Gan , For AAX the Stop Loss level is if $0.74 is violated. That mean stage 4 of the cycle is not completed and to be avoided at all cost. If $0.74 holds, any rebound should find resistance at $0.795 and strong resistance at $0.815. For trading the most difficult part is selling and you need to make that decision yourself. For me, sometimes I sell during rebound to release my capital or take a small loss for future trade.(Then everyone trade differently).
In TCB we encourage traders to trade with a plan when the stock moves against us as Chart can only use as a guide only.
FAST_5 --Thanks for your input on SONA.
Thanks Sephiroth for highlighting PJD & its WC-appreciate your inputs.
I did the chart reading for SONA on 20/05, it is under consolidation after the breakout from Symmetrical Triangle.
#SONA—Breakout from Symmetrical Triangle 2 days ago with volume, it is very bullish and should be testing its previous high of $0.62 soon. A break above will take Sona into uncharted territory with targets of TP1=$0.66 and TP2=$0.70/$0.73. Any weakness during consolidation may find immediate support at $0.585/$0.58 and strong support at $0.56/$0.55.Exit if $0.535 is violated.( 20/05) #
Gji Gan , ya it is the hardest part of trading when it comes to selling. I know i had been there before. Now i just execute my plan accordingly without emotions of Greed, Hope,Ego and Fear.
Once you master these 4 factors, you will be Ok in the market.
Remember, we win some and we lose some, important is to minimize our losses and try to ride on the winner as long as we can to maximize our profits.
Example HEVEA, yesterday my Trailing Stop was at $1.43 and today I raise it to $1.47 after it broke above $1.50.
The double tweezer bottom signaled a bullish reversal trend. Attempted another run up after the brief consolidation period but came under selling pressure today. Need to clear immediate resistance at 0.67. Major resistance = 0.705. Immediate support is at 0.585. Next support is at 0.54.
Broke out of the 2.56 resistance on 6/5 with volume. After touching a high of 2.91 on 12/5, it came under profit taking as is normal for a share with a lot of overhang. The hammer formed on 22/5 potentially means that the bearish undertone could be over but we need to look at the following day's pattern to confirm this.
Immediate support = 2.65/2.67 (gap support) ; Strong support at 2.55 Resistance 1 = 2.80 ; Resistance 2 = 2.91 You may want to exit if 2.65 is broken through.
no prob novice, in fact i recommended to buy 4 days ago at 0.95-0.96
