WD-40 (WDFC) long-term chart

I published the long-term chart for WD-40 as an example of identifying the major uptrend and riding the trend. A simple strategy of staying in the trade above the 40-week simple moving average was a simple winning strategy: enter above 40-week sma and exit below 40-week sma. The consumer staples sector was a winning sector over the past 6 years.

Doji Star appears on the daily chart for Teck Resources

The doji star is a potent warning when it appears after a sustained uptrend. It is a yellow light indicating caution. And it is close to the 10.00 resistance zone. A gap down on Monday that closes deep into the two prior white candlesticks would complete the evening doji star pattern. If the stock advances on Monday towards the 12.00 resistance zone, the doji star is nullified. Monitor the price action and trade accordingly
