Collective2: AMD out

Cut below the 50-day MA. I kept the original stop price to allow for a pullback to the 50-day MA, but the average failed to hold. The 300 share lot closed for a $477 loss (-5.1%).

"Inverse Hammer" on Russell 2000 Breakout

Image
It was a mixed day for indices with the first indication of a top for the current advance with reversal candlesticks coming into play off opening gaps in markets. The Russell 2000 is looking the most vulnerable as it finally manages to break past the June swing high.

'Bear Traps' for the Nasdaq and S&P as Russell 2000 holds above support

Buying in the Nasdaq and S&P delivered important 'bear traps' which in part, probably fueled today's gap highers in these indices.

Bullish Engulfing Patterns Across Russell 2000, S&P and Nasdaq

Will today be the day markets get their latest swing low?  The Russell 2000 continues to be the index to offer most for bulls as support of $162.50 held firm.  The large white candlestick was supported by strong buying volume, but if anything, today's candlestick was *too* big and is vulnerable to getting pegged back tomorrow.  Technicals in the Russell 2000 weren't vastly improved by today's buying.  The MACD still has its 'buy' trigger but didn't advance much. On-Balance-Volume has been trending down throughout September and October and today's buying, while welcome, didn't make a huge dent in that trend.  The one real positive for this index is the continued improvement in relative performance to the Nasdaq and S&P.
