| CHART BREAKDOWN - 'Seeing the World Thru my Eyes' | ||||
| Pinterest (PINS) got some bad news Apr-16 and the stock fell some -9% ... now, the news is subjective and it might turn out to be in fact news worthy of a -9% selloff in this RED HOT VERB stock ... so for me it's time to look at the chart and see if it is starting to hit some of our BUY SIGNALs ... and I think IT IS! ... its fallen into the mid 70's and some of the FLUFF has been drained out of the stock since it KILLED earnings last month. THIS is when we start thinking about taking positions in our favorite stocks ... can it FALL to support (ie $67ish) of course ... and it probably will ... it's a high flyer stocks that can trade in +/- $10 ranges in a blink ... so I would be legging in with some backup funds to dollar cost IF IT were me :) | ||||

| What's the RSI telling me? | ||||
| RSI - The RSI is between 40/50 which represents for me a stock that is 'for the most part' fairly valued with some good upside value if the markets are bullish | ||||
| CPT -yesterday selloff presents an interesting opportunity where PINS has pulled back where its STILL Bullish with a 47 RSI ... but NOT over heated where it was. | ||||
| Support Lines | ||||
| SMA - When looking for a 'Low Entry' purchase we would love to BUY near the 100 day or 200 day support line. Its not 100% but its a 'Buy Low' situation vs 'Buying High' | ||||
| CPT - nowhere near the 200 SMA ... but looking at the chart its breaking its 50 SMA and I would suspect its 100 SMA is near ~$67 ... so that's our next support line to watch | ||||
| Resistance Line (What Wall Street considers its Top) | ||||
CPT - because it is trading higher, might want to check resistance lines ... | See Support-PINS | |||
| Keltner Channel Breakdown | ||||
| KC - The stock is trading UNDER the KC MID line which presents more of a 'Low Entry' purchase and now is the time for me to start watching the stock. I like buying for value UNDER the MID line. | ||||
| CPT - with the recent fall, its fallen to the KC MID, right where we like to start looking as its not OVERBOUGHT its more OVERSOLD ... that's when we want to start thinking about a position | ||||
| On Balance Volume or buying momentum ... is it trending Up? | ||||
| OBV - The 'On Balance Volume' trend line is DOWN/SIDEWAYS which tells me that buying momentum has stalled. For me its touch and go as to whether I'm IN or OUT because this isn't a CLEAR indicator. For me, more no than yes right now. | ||||
| CPT - still sideways to higher ... recent selloff shows a downward move but its still in that sideways range where we know Wall Street is still buying it | ||||

| Definition of the various charting indicators I use | ||||
| RSI - The Relative Strength Index (RSI), developed by J. Welles Wilder, is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Traditionally the RSI is considered overbought when above 70 and oversold when below 30. Source - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rsi.asp | ||||
| SMA (100/200) - A simple moving average (SMA) is an arithmetic moving average calculated by adding recent closing prices and then dividing that by the number of time periods in the calculation average. ... Short-term averages respond quickly to changes in the price of the underlying, while long-term averages are slow to react. Source - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sma.asp | ||||
| KC - The Keltner Channel is a moving average band indicator whose upper and lower bands adapt to changes in volatility by using the average true range. The Keltner Channel is used to signal possible price breakouts, show trend, and give overbought and oversold readings. Source - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/k/keltnerchannel.asp | ||||
| OBV - On-balance volume (OBV) is a technical trading momentum indicator that uses volume flow to predict changes in stock price. ... He believed that when volume increases sharply without a significant change in the stock's price, the price will eventually jump upward or fall downward.
