The stock gapped lower on Nov. 26 on missed earnings. A 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:death cross formed on Dec. 23, when the 50-day simple moving average fell below the 200-day simple mov💛ing average to indicate that lower prices would follow. This sell signal tracked the stock to its March 28 low of $60.20.

The 12 x 3 x 3 weekly slow 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:stochastic reading is projected to rise to 73.26 this week, up from 66.92 on June 5. At the Oct. 22 high, this reading was above 90.00, putting the stock in an inflating parabolic bubble formation. This bubble pop⛦ped. During the week of Feb. 7, this reading was below 20.00, putting the stock in a category called too cheap to ignore. This led to the strength above its 200-week simpleꦍ moving average.

Trading strategy: Buy Dollar Tree stoc🔯k on weak🐠ness to its quarterly value level at $88.31. Reduce holdings on strength to the semiannual and annual risky levels at $104.88 and $115.67, $116.69, respectively.

How to use my value levels and risky levels: The stock's closing price on Dec. 31, 2019, was an input to my proprietary analytics. Semiannual and annual levels remain on the charts. Each calculation uses the last nine closes in these time horizons.

The second quarter 2020 level was established based upon the March 31 close, and the monthly leve🧜l for June was established based upon the May 29 close. New weekly levels are calculated after the end of each week, while new quarterly levels occur at the end of each quarter. Semiannual levels are updated at mid-year, and annual levels are in play all year long.

My theory is that nine years of 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:volatility between closes are enough to 🍌assume that all possible bullish or bearish events for the stock are factored in. To capture share price volatility, investors should buy shares on weak🐷ness to a value level and reduce holdings on strength to a risky level. A pivot is a value level or risky level that was violated within its time horizon. Pivots act as magnets that have a high probability of being tested again before their time horizon expires.

How to use 12 x 3 x 3 weekly slow stochastic readings: My choice of using 12 x 3 x 3 weekly slow stochastic readings was based upon 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:backtesting many methods of reading share-price momentum with the objective of finding the c𒁃ombination that resulted in the fewest false signals. I did this following the stock market crash of 1987, so I have been happy with the results for more than 30 years.

The stochastic reading covers the last 12 weeks of highs, lows, and closes for the𒈔 stock. There is a raw calculation of the differences between the highest high and the lowest low versus the closes. These levels are modified to a fast reading and a slow reading, and I found that the slow reading worked the best.

The stochastic reading scales between 00.00 and 100.00, with readings above 80.00 considered 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:overbought and readings below 20.00 considered oversold. A reading above 90.00 is considered an "inflating parabolic bubble" formation, which is typically followed by a decline of 10% to 20% over the next three to five months. A reading below 10.00 is considered "too cheap to ignore," which is typically followed by gains of 10% to 20%🐬 over the next three to five months.
