Chart Patterns

Triple Bottom

Pattern Description:

A triple bottom is a reversal pattern that displays three distinct minor lows at approximately the same price level. It generally takes at least three months to form and the longer the support levels hold, the more convincing is the eventual break above resistance. Ideally, the break to the upside should be accompanied with a significant rise in volume.

Elasticity Toolkit

The Elasticity toolkit was created to obtain maximum gains in both sideways and trending markets with minimum risk. Developed by Timothy Straiton, the system performs with incredible results in almost all equity markets with a daily periodicity. The Elasticity toolkit focuses on short-term market fluctuations and takes advantage of deviation or "elasticity" from the mean price. One could visualize the action of a rubber band being stretched and at the moment where the expansion loses momentum, a contraction takes place, forcing movement in the opposite direction. The Elasticity system opens a trade at the moment that deviation from the mean price loses momentum.

Gold mining stocks on the retreat

Bullish divergence is detected on the 14 week relative strength index and also in the MACD-V indicator. Expect further weakness in gold stocks relative to the price of gold, with focus on the gold to HUI ratio rising toward the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of 8.17, based on the 9.88 to 5.40 range traded since February 2024.
