Chart Patterns

Descending triangle

Pattern Description:

The descending triangle is a bearish formation that usually forms during a downtrend as a continuation pattern and indicates distribution. Once the horizontal line has been broken, the downside target should correspond to the height of the triangle, projected below the horizontal support line. While this pattern is in the process of formation, volume tends to be low but rises substantially on a break of the support line.

Detecting deterministic dynamics in stock prices

by Tim Straiton
It may appear odd to many investors, but stocks that are less volatile than their counterparts have historically produced comparable or better returns. However our analysis of stocks which display long periods of deterministic dynamics perform much better than those which tend to trend sideways over long periods. We have applied the MACD-V indicator from Alex Spiroglou to scan the S&P500 stocks over 100 days.  We wanted to see how many days constituent stocks traded outside the...

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.
