Re: Learning Technical Analysis Q&A


BRU was signalled on another thread.

Technically it has so much info for analysts I thought it appropriate to post discussion of it here.


BRU and all charts like it.


As a chart turns from a boring consolidation pattern often stretching years

we all look for opportunity. Often traders will buy and sit for years in a

stock hoping/waiting/preying and constantly looking for positives in every

announcement or discussion in a thread on their favorite stock.


No matter what form of analysis we use we cannot be 100% sure at anytime

that a stock will launch into the stratosphere. But we can keep ourselves

both in and out of a stock as it morphs from a maggot to butterfly and back

to maggot in many cases.


The main reason stocks cannot advance is SUPPLY. Without SUPPLY price will

rise even on the slightest demand as buyers search for sellers at higher

and higher prices.


SUPPLY MUST---Either WITHDRAW----OR BE ABSORBED and indeed Surpassed by excess DEMAND---When this happens generally Supply (Sellers) will WITHDRAW---

Price is then free to trend.


SUPPLY then comes and goes until for whatever reason SUPPLY exceeds DEMAND.

If DEMAND withdraws then price can and will fall even with the slightest

amount of Supply as sellers search for buyers at lower and lower prices.


SUPPLY MUST---Either WITHDRAW----OR BE ABSORBED and indeed Surpassed by

excess DEMAND (Yes SUPPLY)---When this happens generally Supply (Sellers) will WITHDRAW

Price is then free to trend.


So as we can see Supply is more important than demand.


So bear this in mind everytime you open a chart.


You should ask.


Initially on higher than normal volume bars.


What is price trying to do (on a high volume bar)

Is it succeeding (after a couple of bars).


Then on Very low volume Bars following a high volume bars


What is price now trying to do

Is it succeeding.

Does this action support the EFFORT seen in the HIGH VOLUME BAR?

Although there are very specific Signs of Strength bars (SOS)

This question can be asked of EVERY BAR.


The TRUE or beat read indications will be seen on the very high and very low volume bars

In my opinion and experience.


Knowing this then we will now visit BRU over a number of charts and

Ill point out things of interest as we go.
