  Understanding Stacked Moving Averages: A Key to Trading Momentum When trading stocks, identifying market trends is crucial to improving your odds of success. One of the most effective ways to assess market strength is through   stacked moving averages . This technical setup helps traders determine whether they are trading with the trend or against it. Let's break down what stacked moving averages are, why they matter, and how to use them in your trading strategy. What Are Stacked Moving Averages? Stacked moving averages occur when shorter-term moving averages (MAs) are   positioned above   longer-term moving averages in a sequential manner. This alignment signals a strong   uptrend   and suggests that buying pressure is dominant. Example of Stacked Moving Averages (Bullish Alignment) ✅   Price > 10MA > 20MA > 50MA > 200MA Each moving average is progressively higher, reinforcing the strength of the trend.

 Pre-market futures look good: Potential candidates for todays trade: none Market breadth: All the MA's shown big drop. All the sectors shown weekness. Not a good day to buy stocks. ADD(Advancing stocks - declining stocks) value still shows -1544, Which is a bearish signal. SPY/QQQ/SPX have a big red candle today as well. Last three days alone these indices lost 5% of value. From the peak Feb 19th these lost more than 13%. Overall market is bearish. Not good for Swing trading. May be stick to day/scalping.

Understanding Market Breadth: A Key Indicator for Smarter Trading When analyzing the stock market, traders often focus on major indices like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq. However, these indices don’t always tell the full story. That’s where   market breadth   comes in—a powerful tool that reveals the true health of the market by showing how many stocks are participating in a move. What Is Market Breadth? Market breadth measures the overall participation of stocks in a market rally or decline. Instead of relying on just a few large-cap stocks to move an index, market breadth indicators assess whether a broad range of stocks is following the trend. A strong market should have   broad participation , meaning most stocks are moving in the same direction as the index. Why Is Market Breadth Important? Confirms Trend Strength:   A rally is stronger when most stocks are rising, not just a few big names. Predicts Reversals:   If an index is rising, but fewer stocks are part...

Trading in the stock market is not just about buying and selling stocks; it's a continuous journey of learning, adapting, and refining strategies. Through this journal, I will document my daily (Monday to Friday) and weekly (every Sunday) reviews of the U.S. stock market. This will help me stay disciplined, analyse my decisions, and improve my market understanding over time. The Four Levels of Stock Market Mastery To succeed in the stock market, mastering different levels of understanding is crucial. This journey progresses from simple pattern recognition to full situational awareness and emotional discipline.

  Understanding Parabolic Moves and Climactic Tops in Stocks Stock prices often follow patterns that traders can use to anticipate future movements. One of the most crucial signals to watch for is a parabolic move, where a stock’s price skyrockets rapidly, often forming a chart that appears as if the "top is cut off." These movements are usually fueled by euphoria, speculation, and fear of missing out (FOMO), but they frequently end in sharp reversals. In this post, we’ll explore key concepts, historical examples, and how to identify potential climactic tops in stocks. Key Concepts and Indicators 1. Euphoric Buying / Climax Top Rapid price increases suggest emotional buying driven by FOMO. A climax top occurs when demand temporarily outpaces supply. 2. Blow-Off Top Happens in parabolic trends where prices rise sharply and then reverse as buyers become exhausted. 3. Gap-Ups Without Continuation A gap-up that immediately reverses or forms long wicks at the top signals selling p...
