Chart Patterns

Head and Shoulders

Pattern Description:

The head-and-shoulders pattern is believed to be one of the most reliable trend-reversal patterns. It consists of three successive rallies, the second being the highest. The name derives from the fact that on a chart the first and third rallies look like shoulders and the second looks like a head. Completion of the pattern constitutes initiation of a bear market.

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.

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.

Technical Review

Broadcom - a remarkable change in sentiment.

2026-04-16 by Tim Straiton

Broadcom Inc.(AVGO) is an American multinational designer, developer, manufacturer, and global supplier of a wide range of semiconductor and infrastructure software products. Broadcom's product offerings serve the data center, networking, software, broadband, wireless, storage, and industrial markets.This stock isn’t cheap, trading at a forward P/E of 33.41x against a group average of 22.84x. It holds strong positions with major AI players (Google, Meta, OpenAI), which is supportive for the stock price.

The current technical view reveals a strong case of FOMO. The previous six daily closes landed all above the upside Bollinger band, the 14 day relative strength index is at an overbought level of 77% and the choppiness index is at an extreme low level of 29. A phase of bullish exhaustion could well be close at hand.
