Chart Patterns

Double Top

Pattern Description:

The double top is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended uptrend. The pattern is made up of two consecutive peaks that are roughly equal, with a moderate trough in-between. As illustrated below, a double top consists of two well-defined, sharp peaks at approximately the same price level. A double top occurs when prices are in an uptrend. Prices rise to a resistance level, retreat, return to the resistance level again before declining. The two peaks should be distinct and sharp. The pattern is complete when prices decline below the lowest low in the formation. The lowest low is called the confirmation point.

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.

Could A 'Transaction Tax' Be A Good Thing?

by Lance Roberts
Summary Over the years, I've heard from several clients who have had trouble disciplining themselves from trading too frequently. Free trading may save you money on trading costs, but if it causes you to trade rashly, your returns may suffer. As a fiscal conservative, I'm not too fond of taxes of any sort.

Technical Review

Monster Beverage - a possible long entry point

2026-04-04 by Tim Straiton

Monster Beverage Corporation is an American beverage company that manufactures energy drinks including Monster Energy, Relentless, Reign and Burn. The company was originally founded as Hansen's in 1935 in Southern California, originally selling juice products. The company has demonstrated consistent top-line growth at a 12% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past decade and is poised for nearly double-digit growth over the next five years, bolstered by a robust pipeline of innovative products and increasing market share.

The current price as of 2nd April 2026 is $72.37, holding just above the rising 40 week moving average of $71.06. The price is also hovering above the Fibonacci 38.2% retracement at $70.54 based on the entire $43.32 to $87.38 range traded since August 2024.

On the daily chart, the MACD-V indicator is at minus 170 and forming a rounding bottom. The stochastic momentum index is starting to negate the downward trend. It will be interesting to see if this stock can hold up at current levels. If this is the case, then the chances of a recovery towards the $90 area are excellent.
