What a bloodbath.
What did I do to deserve this treatment?!
Settle down verce! Yes it breached the 21dsma, this is when I review a stock if we are in choppy seas with the major indices, it is not an automatic sell as I do manual stop loss to save me from the 'fearful' ones. What happened overnight in the US? The SPX rose above its 200dsma, so we are probably good to go today...
Looking at the chart today, I see the Twiggs daily money flow is slightly down as to be expected but nothing too extreme, then I looked at the RSI which is touching the 50 line, this isn't in oversold but as it has been riding high in the overbought, the oversold section can be called the 50 line. So effectively oversold and ready for a bounce. Then I looked at volumes, meh, nothing special.
Then we come to the Aroon Indicator, this is an indicator which has been assessed in my invaluable book, I invested mucho dollars in years ago (much cheaper now) called 'Encyclopeadia of Technical Market Indicators' by Corby
It has been a great reverence over the years. They suggest just using the Aroon in a mechanical way with no other assessment or judgement would have produced a positive result in the long term and was 55.89% better than a buy and hold strategy. So in other words, buy when the blue crosses above the red and sell when the red crosses above the blue.
After all that, the Aroon is still in happy land! 95c support is still holding.
