Comments:

By May 2nd, most of the indicators have reported trend warnings, and by May 4th, the short term trend reversal can be confirmed by

  1. Trendline break
  2. 5&20 SMA cross
  3. Stochastics have broke up though and oversold, past the 50 and almost into the 80 zone where is can be considered overbought. (For a breakdown, we must wait for the signal line of the stochastics to cross down through the 80 zone.)

The short term trend reversal can be confirmed by May 04th

Trader Tips:

To see screening examples of the stochastics see our signals page:

Stochastics (Slow) Buy when Stochastic has crossed below 20%, reached 5%, and then crossed back up through 20%.
Sell when Stochastic has crossed above 80%, reached 95%, and then crossed back down through 80%.
Buy when the %K line crosses above the %D line
Sell when the %K line crosses below the %D line.
