More Charts – I See Similar Pattern Again

Posted by Stock Online Trader in Short Selling, Stock Review, Technical Analysis on 04-27-2010

I see similar trend again and again. I have listed 9 such stocks. All of these stocks have had huge run-ups and then that has been followed by big dump and selling.

There are three main reasons why the selling is normally heavy.

1. Short sellers looking to sell this pump as it enters over-bought territory

2. Momentum/speculators traders who bought this early now start dumping to take profits

3. Long term investors who got suckered into buying this stock, would want to get out at the first sign of selling and reduce their losses

Whatever Happened To Those Huge Spikers ?

Posted by Stock Online Trader in Stock Picks, Technical Analysis on 04-21-2010

Recently I was looking at how some of the small cap stocks have done after their huge rallies, especially those that were up on fluff news or plain momentum.

I see a common pattern in all of them and that is the trade I like to be involved in.

Lets look at some charts

ABIO spikes huge from 2.75 to 9.00 in one day. After that ? Slow and steady death. See how the volume keeps fading.

CDII doubles up in a week from 1.20 to 2.50s. After that ? Check again the drop in volume.

CNLG turns out to be bit tricky. Spikes, then drops, then spikes huge. After that ? Slow and steady death with few small spikes along the way.

ENCO was bit hard nut to crack. Spikes, then drops, then spikes again, and consolidates, and re-spikes and finally cracks.

HMNA spikes on fluff news and momentum takes it higher. Up from 1.00 to 3.50s in no time. After that ? Where have you seen this type of chart before ??

IDN runs up on sector news. Squeezes the early shorts to trend higher from 1.25 to 4.00 with huge volume. After that ? Slow and steady death. No looking back.

IFLG same pattern. Spike, spike and after that, slow and steady death. Volume dies out

PRAN up on old news.  Momentum traders take it higher. Huge volume. Next day ? Any guesses what is expected ?

RDCM spikes, fades, spikes, fades. Tricky bastard, but eventually going where it should be. I was lucky enough to short this one at @5.90, covering today @4.80. Definitely early, but I covered since they report next Monday. Playing it safe.

RPC spikes from 0.25 cents to 2.50. Huge runup. Once the selling starts, where does it go ? More fading expected. Volume fading perfectly.

SSY spikes from 1.50 to 4.50 (3x runup) on health care sector news. Nothing to do with SSY. Huge volume on runup. Once selling starts ? No where but DOWN

TEAR….no need to say anything more…you get the picture

ZANE is a fighter. It was doing exactly as expected. But it decides to spike mid-way. However it was short lived. DOWN she goes…

Gearing Up For Boring Friday – Few Buy Trades On Trend Reversal

Posted by Stock Online Trader in Stock Picks, Technical Analysis, Watchlist on 10-30-2009

BEE reversed nicely today with decent volume. Long on break above 50 day moving average @1.92. Another good entry would be the break of 2.00
BEE

CT had a huge 24% spike. This was actually a good long on break of 2.00. However I was hesitant to go long. Watching for morning action. Long on green, with stop loss below 2.00. Looks very similar to BEE’s chart
CT

NCS has its second green day with good volume. I liked that it closed above 2.00. Will be good entry point on green with stop loss below 2.00
NCS

SNV seems to be reversing. Will watch for green, however since its a financial stock with poor record, I hate buying into it.
SNV

YRCW had some resistance @4.00. With that taken out, this is a good long trade on green action with stop loss below 4.00.
