Expert Technical Commentary Delivered Straight To Your Inbox

January 6, 2018

Hello Fellow ChartWatchers!

First and foremost, I want to wish you all a very happy new year from the team here at StockCharts.com! We have big plans in store for 2018 (including the return of ChartCon this August!) and we simply can't wait to share it with you.

Now, here are a few important announcements:

XABCD Annotation Tool Now In ChartNotes!

Late last month, we introduced a brand new tool to ChartNotes: the XABCD annotation tool! By allowing you to identify and pin a series of significant high and low price points, this unique harmonic pattern tool helps you visualize 5-point chart patterns, both bullish and bearish, as they form. In addition to the XABCD, we're excited to welcome Scott Carney (president and founder of HarmonicTrader.com) to our TAC blog. Scott will be sharing his expertise about harmonic patterns, and will also appear as a guest on our MarketWatchers LIVE web show on January 24th. Be sure to tune in!

To check out the new XABCD tool, pull up a chart of any symbol, then look for the "Annotate" button below. Click that to launch ChartNotes, then click the 5th button down on the sidebar. Under that menu, you'll find the new XABCD tool.

Psst! Don't forget, StockCharts Members can save their annotated charts!

Pockets of Strength Outweigh Pockets of Weakness

by Arthur Hill

Article Image

The stock market is never 100% bullish with all stocks participating in an uptrend. There are always some holdouts and pockets of weakness, but the broader market can continue higher as long as the pockets of strength are greater than the pockets of weakness. The percentage of stocks above the 200-day EMA is a great way to measure internal strength and this indicator has remained strong...
