Technical Analysis

The technical side has always made more sense, to JC, than the fundamentals. The markets aren’t just random, they trend…and there’s data to back that up. Beyond that, there’s a little thing called common sense. Essentially, technical analysis is looking for trends. By ignoring them, you are putting yourself at a massive disadvantage. By identifying the trends of all asset classes, we are able to put the pieces of the puzzle together to identify profit-making opportunities, regardless of the market environment.

What direction is the market going?

If you can answer this one question, you are off to a great start. People talk about the market being “overbought”, but how can an overwhelming amount of buying pressure be a bad thing?! We look at overbought or oversold conditions using an oscillator called RSI (relative strength index). It shows momentum, relative to itself, over time. In overbought conditions, you are going to see RSI readings above 70. What you won’t see are oversold readings. Momentum simply doesn’t get oversold. Ultimately, I look at overbought conditions, not as a bearish indicator, but as confirmation that prices are trending higher.
