Tim Bourquin of Trader Interviews.com released a fresh, new interview entitled “Strategies of a Successful Swing Trader.” The 60-min interview covers some of Trader Evan’s specific rules and observations on execution and trade management, including what methods and indicators help pin-point opportunities. With permission, Tim allowed me to provide a brief clip of the full…
I often advocate pulling all the indicators off the charts – at least for a few minutes – and taking a ‘price purism’ look at any major price move.
This can give you clarity that others miss, especially if they are caught up in viewing what all sorts of indicators are saying. Indicators are important, but it’s helpful to assess the ‘character’ or structure of the market, which can be obscured by lines and oscillators.
I wanted to share my post today at the Technician’s Edge Column at the GreenFaucet.com website, which addresses the key support level broken today in the Euro Index. Today’s post is entitled “Euro Breaks Support: Downside Targets” which addresses why the broken support level is important, and what potential targets to play for which might…
This is a third in an unexpected series of posts on the similarities/differences between the October 2007 stock market peak and the current rally to new recovery highs.
Thank you to another astute reader who mentioned that the VIX – the CBOE Volatility Index – is at the same level it was at the October 2007 peak.
I’ve received quite a few responses from posting on the “Strange Similarities Between the 2007 Peak and Current Rally High” yesterday evening.
I wanted to show a chart based on a comment by a reader who highlighted that, although the price patterns were similar, the readings from internals – specifically those of the net new highs – were slightly different.
In another “Hmm, That’s Interesting” post regarding prior market historical pattern, there is an eerie similarity in the rally that ended with the market peak in 2007 and the current rally into 2010. Thanks to a blog reader for pointing out this comparison to me. Let’s take a look at the S&P 500 and Dow…

One thing I’ve been trying to highlight lately in these intraday ‘update’ posts is the repetitive character or nature of some of the price patterns that have occurred… which have been virtual road-maps to the future. And they always say “Those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat…
I always enjoy highlighting ‘mirror image’ or ‘measured move’ price patterns on charts, and we have the potential for a resolution to the downside to test prior support if the current price structure completes the ‘reflection’ portion of the pattern.
Main idea – let’s watch the price closely over the next few days to see if this chart pattern completes as expected:
When assessing the strength or weakness of a recent market move – such as the ‘non-stop’ rally we’ve seen so far in March – it’s important to look beneath the price to see the signals from key Market Internals… and that’s what this post does.
Let’s take a look ‘under the hood’ to see how market internals have shaped the recent rally and what might be in store ahead.
