This shows a long base after a sharp drop, with
the price eager to start climbing up again, resulting in a 10+% move up
(picture
below).
1, 2) A 20+% drop in price in less than 2 months,
in a nice
orderly progression down, the price stays below the 20MA the whole
time, the -DI (red line) goes more and more above the
+DI (green line) (of the DMI
/ ADX indicator) indicating a solid down trend.
2, 3) The stock shows its first recovery attempt,
the
-DI line approaches the +DI line, but no real cross over occurs.
A first recovery after a down trend cannot be trusted.
3, 4) Price goes down, first reluctantly,
then quickly to a new low, which is at the same level as the low at 2,
forming a double bottom. A wide bottom like this is a good sign,
meaning a good base to build from. Notice the clear scissoring of the
-DI and +DI lines (such scissoring indicates a strong reversal of
trend). Price jumps up with strong up trend of stochastics
after
a cross over below 20.
5) Price is close to bottom line of channel, +DI
and -DI
are wrapped around each other, indicating hesitation. Fast
stochastics cross above slow stochastics around 30 line. At
this
point you could enter a trade with good confidence.
6) Price was making a plateau, but is now nosing
up.
Volume is creeping up. The +DI line crosses over
the -DI
line. Stochastics in a strong uprise. MACD making a
prolonged base around the zero line. MA's are squeezed for
an
extended time
(see
brown Squeezed
MA indicator line), which indicates a pending change of trend.
All this is saying that the price is readying itself for a
strong move up.
