Umbrellas, descending triangle and more
I am going to re-post also. I got caught in the "lockdown" also.
The past 4 days have been Umbrellas. That means that there could be a reversal due to indecision by buyers. It means that sellers were winning out during the day, but the buyers managed to push the price back to the opening price at the end of the day.
After long declines this can be a bullish indicator, but it is an indicator that has to be confirmed with a turn either in a bullish or bearish reversal. The accuracy is rated at medium for dependability.
I mixed my words up on the chart. I meant to say -50 or less...Northward!
