 Summary of Recent Reports:Weekend Report Comments on Saturday, February 27, 2010:
As of Friday, February 26, 2010, the closing price has been up for 4 days in a row. The behaviour of HST last week, with the price and volume slumping together, is classically bearish, but it may sometimes reveal a time to buy the dips. HST is approximately neutral in conventional RSI, but the Line of Least Resistance is moving toward bearish. The conventional RSI is almost unchanged from the previous week. Negative Volume Indexes are running at fair price levels. It lost ground during the last week, but is still up for the month. Since the previous week the phase of the oscillator around the 200 bar average is almost unchanged. From the Update 3/1/2010 : The recent session is represented as a Star Doji Man, following the Star short body SpinningTop on Friday. A star happens when the body range is entirely outside the range of the day before. So there has been a gap, indicating a strong new direction. Today, we see a "Doji Star" which shows a peculiar combination of new direction and low inner volatility. This important sign is often seen at market tops and bottoms, and many believe it to be a sign of a coming reversal. This week has not seen any highly significant signals. A signal from the "Moving Avg. 5/20 Divergence", was flagged on Wednesday, February 17, 2010. This value of the indicator is generally interpreted as a sell signal. |
