And this is what you’ll learn in today’s post:

How to identify trend reversal — identify weakness in the trending move

First, let me define what a trending move is…

A trending move is the “stronger” leg of a trend and it trades in the same direction of it (that’s why I call it trending move).

The trending move (in a healthy uptrend) usually has more bullish than bearish candles; the bullish candles are relatively larger than the bearish ones, and the bullish candles closing near the highs

An example:


However:

When the bullish candles are getting smaller, it’s telling you the buying pressure is getting weak, or there is equal selling pressure coming in.

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) – My Analysis of the Social Media Conglomerate (Guest Post)

Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) – My Analysis of the Social Media Conglomerate (Guest Post)

Whenever I shortlist for a list of companies to invest in, one of my many criteria is that the company must have a simple-to-understand business.

One of the companies under my investment radar is social media conglomerate Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), which is listed in the United States.

Unless you have been living under a rock all these while, you should know its business – chief of which is its namesake social networking site (many of you should have a personal Facebook account which you use to keep in touch with your loved ones.)

Apart from Facebook, the conglomerate also owns Instagram, Messenger, as well as WhatsApp – all of them you should be familiar with as well, so I shall not further elaborate. Another business which it owns which you may not be familiar with is a company by the name of Oculus (https://www.oculus.com), which produces virtual reality products (the company was acquired by Facebook Inc. in March 2014.)

In terms of revenue, it comes from selling ad placements (on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and other third-party applications and websites) to marketers (where they have the option of selecting their target audiences based on a variety of factors including age, gender, location, interests, and behaviours.) …

Golden Cross Trading Strategy Guide (Guest Post)

Golden Cross Trading Strategy Guide (Guest Post)

Have you heard of the Golden Cross signal? If you listen to the media, you’ll hear about the Golden Cross (like how the market is bullish when it occurs). But is it true? Well, that’s what you’ll learn today…

What is a Golden Cross and how does it work?

The Golden Cross is a bullish phenomenon when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average.

Here’s why…

When the market is in a long-term downtrend, the 50-day moving average is below the 200-day moving average.

However, no downtrend lasts forever.

So, when a new uptrend begins, the 50-day moving average must cross above the 200-day moving average — and that’s known as the Golden Cross.

An example of a Golden Cross chart:

Pro Tip: The opposite is the Death Cross — when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average.

The Complete Guide to Keltner Channel Indicator (Guest Post)

The Complete Guide to Keltner Channel Indicator (Guest Post)

The Keltner Channel is a simple but powerful trading indicator. It helps you better time your entries, improve your winning rate, and can even “predict” market turning points. And if you want to learn how to do it, then today’s post is for you.

But first…

What is a Keltner Channel and how does it work?

The Keltner Channel is an Envelop-based indicator (others include Bollinger Bands, Donchian Channels, etc.).

This means it has an upper and lower boundary to help you identify potential “overbought and oversold” levels.

Note: The Keltner Channel used in this post is the modified version by Linda Rasche.

Now, the default Keltner Channel settings have three lines to it:

  • Middle Line: 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
  • Upper Channel Line: 20 EMA + (2 * Average True Range)
  • Lower Channel Line: 20 EMA – (2 * Average True Range)

You can think of the Middle Line as the mean.

And the Upper and Lower Channel Line shows you how far the price is away from the mean.

Here’s how it looks like…

My Technical Analysis of the Possible Movements of the STI, and All 30 Blue Chip Companies in the Week Ahead (15-19 June 2020) (Guest Post)

My Technical Analysis of the Possible Movements of the STI, and All 30 Blue Chip Companies in the Week Ahead (15-19 June 2020) (Guest Post)

After the Singapore’s benchmark index, the Straits Times Index (STI), finally commencing a new bull run the week before (where it recovered by more than 20% from its trough of 2,209 points in mid-March), the week that just ended last Friday (12 June) saw the STI returning some of the gains (largely due to the Fed casting a gloomy outlook of the economy in the next 2 years ahead.)

After the Singapore’s benchmark index, the Straits Times Index (STI), finally commencing a new bull run the week before (where it recovered by more than 20% from its trough of 2,209 points in mid-March), the week that just ended last Friday (12 June) saw the STI returning some of the gains (largely due to the Fed casting a gloomy outlook of the economy in the next 2 years ahead.)

Particularly, the STI shed 67 points, or 2.4%, to close at 2,684 points (bull run still in-tact as it stayed above 2,650 points). The following is the weekly movement of the STI:
Straits Times Index’s Movements on a Weekly Timeframe

The candlestick pattern resembles a doji – implying an indecision on the direction. However, MACD still remains in an uptrend position. As such, in the week ahead, I feel that the STI may move in either direction – should it be able to break above the resistance line at 2,750 points, then it could advance further from there. Otherwise, it could once again retreat to somewhere around 2,650 points.

Moving on, here’s my technical analysis of each of the 30 blue chip companies listed on the Straits Times Index based on their weekly share price movements to share with you.

Today is the first day of another new month, and also the last day of the two-month circuit breaker period (which the Singapore government put in place since 07 April 2020 in a bid to contain the community spread of Covid-19 in the country.) I certainly hope that all of you who are reading this post are doing great so far.
