In terms of market direction, the short term trend is bullish, as the 9ema is trading above the 20ema. Moreover, the medium term trend is bullish, as the 20ema is trading above the 50ema. Finally, the long term trend is bullish, as the 50ema is trading above the 200ema.
As a friendly reminder, given that all three trends are bullish, it would be prudent to think long and hard about whether or not there is truly a technical basis for entering a bearish swing trade at this time. That being said, how strong is the current trend?
Notably, we closed above not only last week's high, but also the previous trading day's high as well. This is an indication that the bullish trend is rather strong.
Another way that traders analyze the strength of a trend is by appeal to the Average Directional Index (ADX), in which high readings are suggestive of strong trends and low readings are suggestive of weak trends or chop. At the moment, the ADX has a value of 50.25, indicating an extremely strong trend that is likely soon approaching exhaustion and at risk of correction or reversal.
We also have to consider the two main momentum oscillators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator. Currently, the RSI reading is 83.57, indicating that the market is technically overbought and may be due for a correction or trend reversal. For its part, the Stochastic Oscillator currently has a reading of 96, indicating that the market is technically overbought and may be due for a correction or trend reversal.
Beyond the momentum oscillators, we also need to familiarize ourselves with the relationship between current price and the Bollinger Bands. At the moment, price is approaching the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that the uptrend may soon encounter resistance.
With regard to the question of trend reversal, we need to check for any crossovers between certain indicators and their respective moving averages.
Currently, the RSI is above its 14-candle moving average, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength. Currently, the Stochastic Oscillator is above its 3-candle moving average, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength. Finally, the MACD is above the signal, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength.
Crosssover analysis is not the only way to test for potential trend reversal. Another strategy involves looking for divergence between indicator readings and price action. At this time, there is bearish divergence between RSI and price action. Moreover, there is currently bearish divergence between the Stochastic Oscillator and price action. Finally, at this time there is currently no divergence between MACD and price action.
