The Relief Rally
Market Type This setup is best used in:
• Bearish: strongly trending markets
• Bearish: weakly trending markets
Key Indicators In this setup there are three key ingredients:
• First, identify a strongly or weakly downtrending
stock that has rallied up into a downsloping
20 MA (strongly downtrending) or 50 MA
(weakly downtrending). If this moving average
coincides with, or is placed near, a downsloping
trendline placed over the highs of the downtrend,
so much the better.
• Second, there must be a sharp rise in stochastics
(five-period) to or above the overbought 80 line.
• Third, the price on the rally to that moving
average must have put in a bearish candle of some
kind (doji, engulfing, gravestone, hanging man,
evening star, etc.). If it has put in a green or
white candle (close above the open), then this is a
wait-and-see condition. You should make a note
to check that stock again the next trading day.
• Sell short signal: These three factors register a sell
short signal and the stock is ready to be shortlisted
as a valid relief rally setup.
The Screening Tool
• For the last market close:
• All stocks with . . .
• 60-day simple moving average of volume for today
is greater than 500,000.
• 60-day simple moving average of close for today
is greater than 10.
• The chart has a bearish engulfing pattern for
today.
• 20-day simple moving average of close for today
is less than 50-day simple moving average of
close for today.
• Daily close for today is greater than daily close
for five days ago times 1.15.
THE BULLISH BASE BREAKOUT
Market Type This setup is best used in:
• Bullish: weakly trending markets
• Bearish: strongly trending markets
• Bearish: weakly trending markets
• Range-bound markets
Key Indicators This setup relies on a price pattern (bullish
base) combined with two technical indicators: MACD
and on balance volume (OBV). Here are the specifics:
• First, the stock must be clearly seen to be in a
downtrend of some kind, strong or weak (see
definition).
Second, for at least the past 30 trading days (six
weeks), price must be moving within a
consolidation base of some kind. There are two
types of consolidation bases: triangles and
rectangles. These bases can occur in uptrends as
well as downtrends. In this setup, we want to see
these at the bottom of a downtrend.
• Once we have identified a consolidation base in a
downtrending stock, we need to confirm that it is
a bullish base. We do this by referring to two
technical indicators: MACD and OBV.
• MACD must be making a series of higher lows
while price is within the base may or may not be
making higher lows.
• OBV must rise above a trendline placed over
the tops of the indicator.
• Buy signal: A buy signal is triggered in a bullish
base at the first green or white candle (close
higher than the open) after the candlestick on
which the OBV trendline broke to the upside.
You can also enter on the day of an OBV break if
that candle is green or white.
The Screening Tool It is not possible to screen for
triangular or rectangular bases using what is commonly
available. Most of your trades in this setup will have to
come from your watch lists as you eyeball the charts. But
the following screen will turn up a few decent candidates
among many false hits that can be short-listed for further
research. Readers who are more adept at this sort of thing
than I am might want to fiddle around with these parameters
to make them more robust.
• For the last market close:
• U.S. stocks with . . .
• 20-day simple moving average of volume for today
is greater than 500,000.
• 60-day simple moving average of close for today
is greater than 10.
• 50-day simple moving average of close for today
is greater than 20-day simple moving average of
close for today.
• 50-day simple moving average of close for today
is less than 50-day simple moving average of
close for 40 days ago.
• Maximum range over 30 days starting today is
greater than maximum range over 15 days starting
today.
• Maximum range over 15 days starting today is
greater than maximum range over 5 days starting
today.
• Daily OBV for today is greater than daily OBV
for 40 days ago.
• Daily MACD line (12,26,9) for today is greater
than daily MACD line (12,26,9) for 40 days
ago.
• 50-day simple moving average of close for today
is less than 200-day simple moving average of
close for today.
THE BLUE SKY BREAKOUT
Market Type This setup is best used in:
• Bullish: strongly trending markets
Key Indicators This setup relies on five price parameters
combined with one technical indicator: on balance volume
(OBV). Here are the rules:
• First, the closing price of the stock (not just the
intraday move) must register a new high
following a previous new pivot high set within
the past 20 trading days. A pivot high is a new
price high followed by a sell-off or sideways
consolidation of at least five bars (but not more
than 20) in length. We set these limits because it
is important that the new high be the result of a
recent and short-lived move in price rather than a
prolonged runup.
• Second, the current new closing price high must
be a significant high; no higher closing price high
should be recorded in at least the past three
months of trading.
• Third, the new closing price high cannot have
run too far above the 52-week low for the stock.
We don’t want stocks that are too overextended.
To prevent this, we calculate a multiple by taking
the new high closing price and dividing it by the
52-week low price. This multiple should not be
more than 3.0. In other words, if a stock’s 52-
week low is 10.00, we want to buy a blue sky
breakout only if the new closing high is less than
30.00.
• Fourth, the current breakout into blue sky
territory (no price resistance within the previous
three months) should be accompanied by the
highest OBV reading seen in at least the past
three months (see definition).
• Fifth, the candle on the day of the breakout to a
new high must be a green or white candle (close
higher than the open).
• Buy signal: When all five of these parameters have
been met on the same day, we have a buy signal.
The Screening Tool In a bull market, the following scan
should turn up several possible blue sky candidates—but
since that first price parameter cannot be screened for, a
further eyeballing of the charts is usually required to weed
out invalid setups:
• For the last market close:
• U.S. stocks with . . .
• New 52-week high.
• 20-day simple moving average of volume for today
is greater than 500,000.
• 60-day simple moving average of close for today
is greater than 10.
• Daily close for today is less than or equal to
minimum low over 260 days starting today
times 3.
• Daily OBV for today is greater than daily OBV
for 60 days ago.
