Explain how to use the Dow Theory to determine whether to buy or to sell a stock.
The Dow Theory is that stock prices move in three types of price movements: major trends that resemble tides, intermediate trends that resemble waves, and short term that resemble ripples. The key is to detect the major trends. A major up trend, which suggests investors should buy, is detected when each new price peak is
higher than the previous peak and the new peak occurs on heavy trading volume. Each new reversal goes to a higher bottom and the reversal is accompanied by light
trading volume. Other indexes should echo this movement. A downtrend, which suggests people should sell or avoid, is when succeeding peaks and troughs are lower and volume during peak moves declines.
2-
What is anchoring?
A psychological
phenomenon whereby an investor notes a certain price
to buy or to
sell. This phenomenon leads to support and resistance levels
3-
What is a support level? What is the implication of a stock breaking below a support level?
Support level is a price that should engender demand for a stock and therefore keeps the stock at or above this point. The theory is that if a stock is moving up and
the experiences a reversal, often investors who missed the earlier upward move and
have been waiting to buy will jump in at the support level. It is considered to be a bearish sell point when a stock breaks below a support level.
4-
What causes a resistance level? What is the implication of a stock breaking above the resistance level?
Often when a stock price has been declining investors will wait for an upward reversal so that they can sell their stocks at a higher price. If a lot of stock has been purchased at or around a certain price, this is the resistance level. It is considered a bullish buy point if a stock breaks above the resistance level.
5-
What is momentum investing? What do people who follow this approach study?
Technicians who follow this approach believe that trends persist.
Therefore, you should participate in the trend. You buy as long as the price is rising. You short as long as the price is falling. You close your position as soon as
the trend reverses. Some technicians follow the movement of fundamentals, like sales, earnings or cash flow to determine what trading action to take.
6-
How do you determine if a stock has relative strength?
Momentum investing says that a trend, whether positive or negative, will persist because of human nature. If the market is declining but the individual stock declines by less, this is bullish and the stock has relative strength. 7-
How do technicians use Fibonacci’s sequence to trade stocks?
Technical analysts have found that the sequence explains how far a stock price will move in one direction before it reverses. The point of this is to determine the magnitude of a price move away from a starting point. This helps traders set buy and sell points. It helps identify likely support and resistance levels.
8-
What are the 3 key Fibonacci ratios? A stock has a beginning point of $60. It starts to move up. Using the Fibonacci ratios, what are the 3 key resistance levels for the stock?
The 3 key ratios are 61.8%, 38.2% and 23.6%.
The first resistance level is $60 x 1.236 = $74.16. The next resistance level is $60 x 1.382 = $82.92. The third resistance level is $60 x 1.618 = $97.08
9-
Say the stock goes to $80 and turns down. What are the 3 key support levels for the stock?
The first support level is $80 x .618 = $49.44. The next support level is $80 x .382 = $30.56. The last support level is $80 x .236 = $18.88.
10- When is technical analysis most used?
Technical analysis is used primarily as a short-term trading tool and often in conjunction with fundamental analysis. It is also used most often in volatile markets
that are fueled by speculation such as futures and options, currencies and commodities.
