The Psychology Behind Technical Analysis Patterns
Technical analysis can reveal patterns that mirror the psychology of investors, regardless of the type of security being traded. For instance, on August 5, a « bullish engulfing pattern » emerged on AMD’s chart, indicating a possible uptrend. Recognizing the significance of this pattern, we have selected AMD as our Stock of the Day.
Recognizing Reversal Patterns in Stock Charts
Reversal patterns on charts indicate a shift in market leadership from bulls to bears or vice versa. This transition can occur gradually, as seen in rounded top or bottom patterns, or more abruptly after volatile trading periods, such as in V or Inverse V patterns. In some cases, the change happens in a single day, like the bullish engulfing pattern observed on AMD’s chart.
From Downtrend to Uptrend: The AMD Journey
On the morning of August 5, AMD’s stock seemed poised to continue its downtrend, with the opening price lower than the previous close. However, by the end of the day, buyers pushed the price higher, closing above the prior day’s opening price, signaling a shift from bears to bulls in just one day.
Despite the upward momentum, the stock may soon encounter resistance around the $154.50 level, as former support levels often act as resistance in the future. Traders who previously bought at this level might look to sell to break even, potentially creating a ceiling for AMD’s rally.
As more sell orders accumulate at the resistance level, it could signal a possible end to the uptrend that began with the bullish engulfing pattern.
If a significant amount of sell orders exist, the former support level could become a resistance barrier for AMD, potentially halting its upward trajectory.
