Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for June 22, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on March 26th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 12 Comments »

Today I look only at the SPY and VIX chart, but I forecast two potential scenarios in the market, that both lead to a higher (lower volume) ending day (0.5-1%) for tuesdays trade. The first is a small gap higher due to the amateurish action that happened in the last 20 minutes of trading and then a sustained low volume increase until the end of the day, potentially forming a doji green candle. The second is a continued sell off lower to hit the 88.20 level in which we will reverse mid day and end the day potentially flat or slightly positive. I hope you take my words of advice that I put out on this video because it is extremely important in order to become a good trader!

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for February 4, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | No Comments »

Today we look at the market sell off that we were able to predict very accurately. For the past 2 weeks we have hit the nail on the head in every move, down and up. The SPY target for the rally was 110.40, and even though we peaked a little above that, the 60 minutes never closed above 110.40.

Jobs numbers will be coming out tomorrow, but we might get a little bit of that puke trade where we sell off a few more points in the morning and then bounce back. A break of the blue trendline would mean heavier sell offs.

We look at the GLD triangle, SPY, AAPL, UPS and BPI.

03/04/10 – http://www.TheTechTrader.com – Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) had a very big day after releasing earnings today as it jumped 5.28 or 14.5% to 41.52 on 14 million shares traded today. This stock has a chance of breaking resistance and if it does, it could get up around 49-50 zone. Dendreon (DNDN) reached an all time high today and closed at 34.85 up 1.23 or 3.6% after providing more support for its late-stage Impact study showing that Provenge extends the overall survival of men with metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer. This is another stock that could explode to the high 40.00, low 50.00 range in a short period of time. OmniVision Technologies (OVTI) shares rose 1.25 or 8.8%, to 15.46 after an analyst upgraded the maker of image sensors for digital cameras and other devices, predicting it will increase its market share this year. This stock has traded between 6.04 and 17.48 during the past year, but today took off and ran up. You could see this stock test the 17-17.25 area, then move up toward the 20-22 zone. TiVo Inc. (TIVO) had a monster day today as it broke out of a 9 to 10 year base pattern. Up 6.32 to 16.53 or 61.9% on 75.7 million shares. This stock could go to low to mid 20’s short range, and low to mid 30’s long range, but right now look for a move that takes this into the high teens—19-20.00 zone.

SMART Modular (SMOD), which has been in a beautiful rising channel for the last year, was up .25 or 3.69% today. Looks like it will get up around 7.25-7.80 short-term, then around the 12.00 level. Sequenom (SQNM) was up .74 or 16.37% to 5.26 on 17.5 million shares, the biggest trading day it;s had in a year, after it announced the launch of the Fetal Sex Determination test today. Next trading target around 6.50, short-term, secondary around 8.00-8.50. Valassis Communications (VCI) was up .98 today or 3.94% to 25.87 on nearly a million shares today. It looks’ like its going to test the 27.00 range, but if the price-volume range gets it to that, this stock could explode to the low to mid-30.00.

Chart of the Day – APKT, FAZ, HAS, VXX – Stock Charts – Harry Boxer, TheTechTrader.com

Posted by admin on March 11th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | No Comments »

02/08/10 – http://www.TheTechTrader.com – Acme Packet (APKT), which has been acting great, and even though it moved only a fraction today, .08 or .59% on 1.3 million shares taking it up to 13.69 at closing, it looks like it could be a 16.25 stock short-term, secondary target up around 20.00. Financial Bear 3X (FAZ), which turned around in January, closed at 21.81 today, up 1.14 or 5.53% on nearly 81 million shares today. This stock may have some difficulty getting through the 24.00-24.50 zone, which is the short-term trading target, but if it does, you may see this one soar. Hasbro (HAS) had a tremendous day today. Up 3.91 or 12.69% on nearly 11.5 million shares taking it up to 34.71. The explosion today was an impressive one, especially in the face of a declining market, and it would not be unrealistic to think that this stock may get up to the high 30’s, low 40’s to test the Aug, Sept, Oct ‘08 highs. iPath S&P 500 VX Short-Term Futures (VXX), which is the ETF for the VIX, was up .66 or 2.02% on 5.6 million shares today, closing right at the declining 50-day moving average at 33.31. A break through today’s high could lead this one to 37-38 short-term and beyond that, maybe something in the low 40’s. Other stocks on Harry’s Chart of the Day are some really good ones that you’ll want to learn more about. They are Accuray (ARAY), Large Cap Bear 3X (BGZ), China Agritech (CAGC), Conexant Systems (CNXT), Emerging Markets Bear 3X (EDZ), Integrated Silicon Solution (ISSI), Key Tronic (KTCC), Momenta Pharmaceuticals (MNTA), North American Energy Partners (NOA), Pharmacyclics (PCYC), RXi Pharmaceuticals (RXII), Silicon Graphics International (SGI), Small Cap Bear 3X (TZA) – http://www.TheTechTrader.com/ChartofDay – Chart Info: Harry’s Chart of the Day, published each evening Monday through Thursday, features Harry Boxer’s video technical analysis on a stock in play.

Options and Stock Market Technical Chart Analysis for June 29, 2009 by Idan Koren

Posted by admin on March 8th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 3 Comments »

First of all I want to go ahead and admit that I was wrong when I said that the market would go up early in the morning and then reverse in late trading to fall about 1-1.5%. That was my intuition but it obviously didn’t happen. The market continued to stay at very strong resistance but failed to break it. It looks like my down day might get delayed by a couple of hours and take affect either tomorrow or the day after. Tomorrow is an important day as it is also the last day of the month. At this point i would rather be more bearish than bullish as we have the H&S formation still in play and a lot of resistance from over head, and today’s volume was incredibly low (as low as fridays or even lower). I look at different charts to show how the bearish side looks more promising, but I stay neutral on some action. I view SPY, XLF, GS, AAPL, AMZN, VIX.

What can a person learn besides the obvious from looking at 1 year stock performance charts?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 6 Comments »


There’s lots to learn about a stock from a technical stand point. Many times just by eye-balling it you can see resistance levels, floors, convergence points, etc.. Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_analysis

Does anyone know where I can get information on technical charts relating to stock market with explanations?

Posted by admin on February 25th, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 3 Comments »

Technical Charts Explanations with market indicators explained. Hopefully the information should hignlight when to buy share and when to sell shares.

Technical Analysis – the other part of using charts to make buy and sell decisions requires quite a bit of study. There are loads of books you can read to find out what is going to be of most use to you. I will not recommend any one in particular as you need to find one that you can follow easily. Do a title search on Amazon and read the reviews. Even when you understand TA you need to know what your trading strategy is, the markets you are going to concentrate on and the amount of money you are going to commit. Once you know all of this then you can start looking at how best to do your trading. e.g. buying into a part automated system that gives you a preselection of buy/sell candidates, or deciding what chart patterns etc you are going to use yourself.
David Linton does some excellent little presentations on Cantos.com once a week – watch a few of these and you’ll be able to get a better sense of what is potentially involved.

When looking at stock charts and timeframes…?

Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under stock charts | 3 Comments »

When looking at stock charts, when do you know to look at a 1 day, 10 day, 6 month, yearly, etc. chart?

Use the chart time frame that best describes the amount of time you are looking to stay in a position. The information in that chart would be your best as charts are used to identify entry and exit points for many traders.

Therefore, a day trader would look at daily charts – even in minute increments. A long term investor would look at 1 to 5 year charts, possibly in weekly or even monthly time increments. A swing trader may look at 1 to 3 month charts, in daily time increments.

Good luck.
