  23. Technical Analysis • Support and resistance areas • Support level / Bottom feeders • Resistance level / Topping out / profit taking • Breakouts

  24. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS 1. Momentum and Contrarian Strategies • METHDOLOGY: • examine the returns over a time period just ended to identify • momentum investors who seek out stocks recently rising in price for purchase; falling for sale • contrarians who follow the opposite strategy of most investors • contrarians base their strategy on the overreaction theory

  25. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS 2. Moving Average and Trading Range Breakout Strategies • MOVING AVERAGE STRATEGY: • calculate a moving average over the last 200 days of closing prices • divide today’s closing price into the moving average (SHORT-TO-LONG RATIO) • if short-to-long ratio is greater than 1, buy • if ratio is less than 1, sell

  26. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS • 2. Moving Average and Trading Range Breakout Strategies • TRADING RANGE BREAKOUT STRATEGY: • high and low prices for past 200 trading days are identified • if today’s close is greater than the high = buy! • if today’s close is less than the low = sell!

  27. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Reading the tea leaves… • Advance / decline line: Closing Arms or Trin • Relative strength • Moving averages • Candlestick chart • Chart formations: head-and-shoulders

  28. Trin = Declining volume / Declines Advancing volume / Advances Examples • Closing Arms: Trin Values > 1 considered bearish
