Wednesday Commodities Round-Up
Consider the two breakouts highlighted on the chart. Both came after standard consolidations.
A.) After a triangle consolidation, prices formed a strong candle on increased volume. This is a great looking breakout and should have attracted a lot of attention.
B.) This breakout was less then spectacular and the volume was weaker. That doesn't mean it isn't a legitimate breakout. It does mean it's more suspicious.
A.) Note the break-out is really a spinning top -- a weak candle. Also note the lack of volume. This is note a great looking break-out.
A.) The EMA picture is jumbled. Prices are above the EMAs, both all three are in a tight range with the shorter EMAs below the longer.
B.) The MACD has given a buy signal and
C.) Money is flowing into the security.
