For starters the most important thing about this chart is the support lines drawn off the low back in Oct. 2008. That support was basically confirmed 4 days in a row this week. Not only that we have the tops of those days forming a pretty decent descending wedge. Occurring where it does on the chart I take this to signal a potential bottom. I'm not going to be surprised to see this guy bust a bull move in the next few days - probably tomorrow.
Here's my reasoning:
1) 4 days in a row confirming support
2) Tuesday/Wednesday formed a candlestick tweezer
3) Thursday/Friday formed a small wedge
4) All of this is occurring at the major support line which coincides with the long candle day from Oct. 10, 2008.
5) Thursday/Friday both had long lower wick candles indicating some strength from the bulls could be mounting
6) Wednesday, thurs, & Friday could look a lot like a falling three candle pattern. Remember it doesn't have to fall with 3 days in the middle to basically mean the same thing. Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday could easily bust a bull move and complete this pattern indicating a pretty decent little bull trend is likely. (If you remember the falling 3 is the same candle pattern I recognized and wrote about back in Sept. predicting the October bear trend - only it was a falling 3 instead of a rising 3)
All of that to say this week should be pretty interesting. I'm pretty confident we're going to see some movement one way or the other this week. I would tend to expect bullish - but if we break that support line we could certainly drop down another notch to establish a more solid support around 7500.
I'm going to continue trading pretty flat strategies this week, although I may throw in a couple bullish trades if things set up well. As always it will be interesting (and fun!)
As always, happy trading.
