By the Dow theory, a higher high and a higher low is confirmed for the Dow Jones thus an uptrend is still in place despite the dips recently. I believe DJIA should rebound off from it's current level technically.DJIA has tested the 200d MA and has successfully close above it for the past 2 closings. Furthermore, the formation of a doji candlestick suggest that a short-term …

Dow Jones broke above the 200d MA and along with the other MAs used in my chart, namely the 50d and the 100d MA and that is a bullish sign. Next resistance will be the prior peak level around 13767. Overall, it's a good sign that DJIA is finally recovering.Dow Jones Industrial Average:I do have more observations on the Straits Times Index. STI is still below the 200d MA but …

Volume is an essential tool in technical analysis since in technical analysis, volume confirms price action and this was important tool for market action for the past week.For the Dow Jones, it broke the August closing support level and is now heading towards the February support level. The striking thing about the chart is that as the index action plunges down all the way, …

I been busy with my school work so I have not been updated my blog for the past week which i apologize for that. For the past week, the piece of important news that came out was that the Fed will pump in money and that cause the Dow Jones to register it's highest gain in 5 years. On hindsight, i should have shorted the rally since following the rally, an inverted hammer was …

Dow Jones will be testing a major resistive trendline tonight and we shall see whether it can break through this trendline. This trendline has held for 3 occasions and that adds to the strength of this trendline. Candlestick theory will help to decide whether this trendline is likely to hold this time. I am watching out for a doji or an inverted hammer with long wicks this …

There has been some important movements for the Dow Jones. On thursday, it broke the 61.8% fibbonacci retracement support level. This means that technically speaking, we are likely to see it testing the January low level of around 11700 somewhere this week. The only thing is that the volume is not that heavy with this current dip so it's a minor thing in my humble opinion.I …

Dow Jones is currently supported at it's prior support level and the 61.8% fibbonacci level. Any break below this level and we will see it likely to dip all the way to the lows in Jan.Dow Jones Industrial Average:I was chatting on La Papillion's shoutbox when someone pointed out Swiber to me. A look at the chart reveals that it may be ripe for a short perhaps. We see the …

Last seen on monday, DJIA formed a doji or a hammer candlestick on the minor trendline. This seems to suggest that a short-term support has been found. We just gotta see whether this trendline holds this time.Dow Jones Industrial Average:SembMar seems to be doing good except that it is doing great heading south. Technically speaking, there was a prior gap up at $3.58 and it …

Today, a lot of technical factors suggest that a market reversal has taken place. For the Dow Jones, it appears to pierce the February support level but it formed a hammer candlestick with a very long tail. This hammer was formed with very heavy volume and this increases the probability of it being a technical indicator showing a market reversal.Dow Jones Industrial …

The Straits Times Index went south today and things are looking bearish. The closing today broke the support trendline which was drawn from the beginning of this rally in Aug and the resistance trendline which was drawn connecting the prior resistance levels. Volume-wise, it looks bearish since the volume is relatively heavy. All the 3 technical indicators that i used has …

I took another look at the weekly chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average today again. The weekly chart is more important den the daily chart technically. It seems to me that there is a chance that this correction may be over.Dow Jones seems to be supported on the previous resistance now. On the latest closing, it tested this previous resistance turn support level with a …

For the Dow Jones, the current channel resistance seems to be broken. However, the volume still remains to be very heavy so one should be prudent. DJIA seems to be building a base as we notice that the low of friday was higher den the low of on wednesday. As of now, it is better to wait for subsequent closings before deciding whether the bottom has been reached …

First of all, a very happy chinese new year to all of you :) But i guess the festive spirit somehow did not spread to the markets.For the Dow Jones Industrial Average, it broke out of it's rising bearish wedge formation and it closed with a shaven black candlestick with heavy volume. It is expected as it failed to broke through the resistance level that was highlighted in my …

This will be my 1st post of the new year ! :) Quite excited about it though i can't say the same for the markets now.For the Straits Times Index, it closed well with a shaven white candlestick with a heavy volume. Notice that STI only opened for half a day, so i consider that volume to be relatively heavy.However, STI broke it's channel support 2 closings ago and notice that …

I noted ChipEngS aka CES on the top movers section today. It closed with a white candlestick with heavy volume. As seen in the chart, CES broke the resistive trendlines today. It seems to me that this looks like a triangle formation.ChipEngS:Another counter is Lian Beng which is approaching it's historical closing level. It closed with a shaven white candlestick with it's …

This post will be a very simple one. The Dow theory worked relatively well in the previous corrections though by the time it is confirmed, it is a bit late in catching bottoms. Rather it can be used to confirm bottoms. A higher high and a higher low will confirm a uptrend and a lower high and a lower low will confirm a downtrend.For the Dow Jones, it can be seen from the …

Straits Times Index did not rally back to the resistive trendline that connected the previous 3 peaks or rather, it has not return back to test the resistive trendline yet. Gaps can act as technical levels of support and resistance. For the STI, it can be seen from the chart that the gap up is acting as a resistance and the gap down is acting as a support level and STI seems …

Today was another red day for the STI. Most counters were not spared and plunged heavily. However, there is always hope in this plunge as a lot of counters which are overvalued are starting to look cheaper and it's a great time to pick up counters. There is nothing technical about this. Times of crisis are always a good time to pick up fundamentally strong counters and even …

This week has been a week full of whipsaws. Whipsaws in technical analysis, in my own layman term is that price action seems to break through a crucial level but it only broke through slightly thus giving the impression that it has broken through it, only to discover in subsequent closings that it din go in the forecasted direction.This can be seen in the Straits Times Index. …

Ever since the Dow Jones fell a few closings ago, it seems to me that the STI is now following the Dow Jones closely. This will be good as there will less guessing done on how STI will open the next closing since Dow Jones is now leading it.For the Dow Jones, i do have some reasons to believe that the correction for now is at least over. It formed a hammer candlestick on the …
