Stock Market Guru Reveals Secret Of How To Play Double Bottoms
Professional traders kill amateur traders in the stock market with double top and bottom patterns. Do not be another victim. In fact, after reading this article you will be able to get the revenge you deserve.
Every rally in the stock market reaches a point where enough bulls look at it and say”I’ve made a lot of money, and I might make even more money, but Id rather take my profits off the table. Charts top out when enough bulls take their profits, while the money from new bulls is not enough to replace what was taken out.
Bulls who just bought in are mad as they came in too late. They are trapped. Their position continues to pile on losses. Should they hold on or sell for a loss? Only when enough bulls decide the stock has overreacted on the downside will they come in and buy. The rally will resume to the upside as more bulls rush in to buy on weakness. As prices approach the level of their old top, you can expect sell orders to hit the market.
There are always bruised and beaten warriors who got trapped in the previous sell off and take a blood oath to get out if the market ever gives them another chance.
At a market bottom, bears start covering their short positions when a new low is formed. Once the rally from short covering ends and the stock continues to fall, the question becomes will the previous low hold. If bears (fear) are stronger than bulls (greed), prices will fall below the previous low and the downward move will keep on going. If bears are weaker than bulls, the downward move will stop near the previous low and create a double bottom bounce. Use your other favorite indicators to decide which of these events is more likely to happen.
Any time you see a stock rise to its previous peak, the main question in your mind should be will it rise to a new high or form a double top and turn down. Technical indicators like volume, MACD, RSI, and stochastics can be a great help in answering this question.
If a stock climbs to its previous high, if the volume, MACD, and stochastics are dropping then a double top is likely to form.
When a stock falls to its previous low, a double bottom is most likely to form when the volume, MACD, RSI, and stochastics are rising.
