Technical Analysis
It's a simple technical analysis setup strategy for bullish or bearish trading setup in both bullish and bearish sentiment scenarios. All levels in the indicators are at standard default settings.
Step One:
Look at the Stochastic indicator cross at 50 level and a cross over the signal line. This will be the first check and we want the cross to occur at the 50 level.
Step Two:
Check the RSI and need a cross at 50 level. This is the second confirmation.
Step Three:
Check the MACD cross and it's best to wait for the cross to happen at the zero line. This has a lower instances from occurring but it helps to avoid fake-outs that MACD is prone to showing.
Step Four:
Look for an engulfing candlestick pattern in the chart for a final confirmation.
Step Five (Optional):
If you have access to Level II quotes and the Time&Sales, watch for a momentum into the Ask side for a bullish sentiment or the Bid side for a bearish sentiment. Also you'll need to be familiar with tape reading on the volume and speed for better entry or exit.
