Bullish Engulfing Patterns: Size Counts

Three-year candlestick chart analysis for the S&P 500 Index based on the weekly chart and showing bullish engulfing candlestick patterns

S&P 500 Index Three-Year Weekly Candlestick Chart

There is a high probability that the  S&P 500 Index will test major resistance of 1,370 within the next two weeks. Using the 2% rule, a convincing close of 1,400 for two consecutive days would set-up the index for an upside target of 1,470.

A failed low-volume test of resistance would see the S&P 500 index move into a trading range of  1,350-1,250. And then we will be back to monitoring the major support level of 1,250.

What was the reaction on the chart to the earnings release for BCE?
BCE chart analysis based on the daily chart showing the reaction to the earnings release with confirming indicators of volume, OBV and RSI.

BCE Daily Candlestick Chart

It is very important to evaluate the reaction on the chart to a earnings release or company announcement: this is the only thing that counts.

What are the key points on the above chart?

  • Tall bullish white candlestick in reaction to the results.
  • Above average volume for the candlestick is confirming the uptrend.
  • On Balance Volume (OBV) is confirming the move.
  • Relative Strength Index (RSI) is confirming the move.
  • RSI is overbought but this is normal on a fast upward move.
  • $38.00 is near-term resistance

Based on the chart, I have an intermediate target of $40.00 for BCE. Investors are moving money into stable dividend paying utilities, and BCE has a very attractive yield.

Reference the previous chart analysis for BCE based on the daily chart. And reference the previous analysis based on the weekly chart.

Near-Term trend for BMO is up

Leave a reply
This 6-month daily candlestick chart for BMO reveals that the near-term trend is up and the intermediate trend is sideways.
Bank of Montreal (BMO) 6 month candlestick chart reveals that the near-term trend is up and the stock will meet heavy resistance at $62

BMO - 6-Month Daily Chart

The most important concept in technical analysis is the trend: you always trade in the direction of the trend.  The near-term trend for BMO, last three weeks,  is up  and is defined by the 10 day simple moving average (SMA) which is above both the 20 day and 40 day averages. The intermediate trend, last six months, is sideways with support at $58 and resistance at $62.

This brings up the another important concept in technical analysis — support and resistance.  Take a look at the chart.  BMO could not break $62 on three attempts over the last six months.  Both the bulls and the bears have memories of this price point. BMO will meet technical resistance at $62 in this rally.

The three confirming indicators:

  1. Volume is relatively light which is a negative indicator.
  2. On Balance Volume (OBV) is trending up with the move which is good.
  3. Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending up which is good.

The shaven head ( stock closed at the high for the day)  white candlestick for Thursday was positive for the bulls.
