Analysis
Fri 6/22/18
Bollinger Bands Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: The Bollinger Bands are indicating an oversold condition. An oversold reading occurs when the close is nearer to the bottom band than the top band.
Additional Analysis: Volatility appears to be picking up a bit, as evidenced by an increasing distance between the upper and lower bands over the last few bars. The market is oversold and appears to be finding some support. Look for a bottom in this area.
Mov Avg 3 lines Indicator:
Note: In evaluating the short term, plot1 represents the fast moving average, and plot2 is the slow moving average. For the longer term analysis, plot2 is the fast moving average and plot3 is the slow moving average
Conventional Interpretation - Short Term: The market is bearish because the fast moving average is below the slow moving average.
Additional Analysis - Short Term: The market is EXTREMELY BEARISH. Everything in this indicator is pointing to lower prices: the fast average is below the slow average; the fast average is on a downward slope from the previous bar; the slow average is on a downward slope from the previous bar; and price is below the fast average and the slow average. WARNING: Market momentum slowed down on this bar. This is indicated by the fact that the difference between the two moving average lines is smaller on this bar than on the previous bar. Its possible that we may see a market rally.
Conventional Interpretation - Long Term: The market is bullish because the fast moving average is above the slow moving average.
Additional Analysis - Long Term: Even though based on conventional interpretation the market is technically bullish, we will not classify it as extremely bullish until the following occurs: the fast moving average slope is up from the previous bar, price goes above the fast moving average, price goes above the slow moving average.
Mov Avg-Exponential Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: Price is above the moving average so the trend is up.
Additional Analysis: CAUTION: The market trend has changed direction. Now the trend is UP!
Stochastic - Fast Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: The stochastic is bearish because the SlowK line is below the SlowD line.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend is UP. The short term trend is UP. SlowK was up this bar for the first time in a while. Its possible that we may see an up move here. if next bar's SlowK is also up, then a possible bottom may have been established. The market looks strong both long term and short term. The SlowK is at (30.50). A good upward move is possible without SlowK being overbought.
Stochastic - Slow Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: The stochastic is bearish because the SlowK line is below the SlowD line.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend is UP. The short term trend is down.
Swing Index Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: The swing index is most often used to identify bars where the market is likely to change direction. A signal is generated when the swing index crosses zero. No signal has been generated here.
Additional Analysis: No additional interpretation.
Volatility Indicator: Volatility is in a downtrend based on a 9 bar moving average.
Volume Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: No indications for volume.
Additional Analysis: The long term market trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is UP. The short term market trend, based on a 5 bar moving average, is DOWN. Volume is trending lower. In general this is bearish.
RSI Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: RSI is in neutral territory. (RSI is at 52.81). This indicator issues buy signals when the RSI line dips below the bottom line into the oversold zone; a sell signal is generated when the RSI rises above the top line into the overbought zone.
Additional Analysis: RSI is somewhat overbought (RSI is at 52.81). However, this by itself isn't a strong enough indication to signal a trade. Look for additional evidence before getting too bearish here.
ADX Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: ADX measures the strength of the prevailing trend. A rising ADX indicates a strong underlying trend while a falling ADX suggests a weakening trend which is subject to reversal. Currently the ADX is falling.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is up. However, a falling ADX indicates that the current trend is weakening and may possibly reverse. Look for a choppy market ahead.
Comm Channel Index Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: CCI (9.07) is in neutral territory. A signal is generated only when the CCI crosses above or below the neutral center region.
Additional Analysis: CCI often misses the early part of a new move because of the large amount of time spent out of the market in the neutral region. Initiating signals when CCI crosses zero, rather than waiting for CCI to cross out of the neutral region can often help overcome this. Given this interpretation, CCI (9.07) is currently long. The current long position position will be reversed when the CCI crosses below zero.
DMI Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: DMI+ is less than DMI-, indicating a downward trending market. A signal is generated when DMI+ crosses DMI-.
Additional Analysis: DMI is in bearish territory.
MACD Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: MACD is in bearish territory, but has not issued a signal here. MACD generates a signal when the FastMA crosses above or below the SlowMA.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is UP. The short term trend, based on a 9 bar moving average, is DOWN. MACD is in bearish territory.
Momentum Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: Momentum (-23.00) is below zero, indicating an oversold market.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is UP. The short term trend, based on a 9 bar moving average, is DOWN. Momentum is indicating an oversold market and appears to be slowing, suggesting some strength. A modest upturn is possible here.
Open Interest Indicator: Open Interest is trending up based on a 9 bar moving average. This is normal as delivery approaches and indicates increased liquidity.
Rate of change Indicator:
Conventional Interpretation: Rate of Change (-0.83) is below zero, indicating an oversold market.
Additional Analysis: The long term trend, based on a 45 bar moving average, is UP. The short term trend, based on a 9 bar moving average, is DOWN. Rate of Change is indicating an oversold market and appears to be slowing, suggesting some strength. A modest upturn is possible here.
