Previous Post: Top 40 Lower By 3700 Points Wednesday 13 November 2024(Time: 11h23) Current Model Reading & Probabilities Monday 11 November 2024 Time Published: Pre-Market On 27 September (see insert), I flagged the index trading in a short term overbought range. The market peaked on this day and has since traded in a consolidation range, while recently accelerating it's bearish bias with the bear flag breaking down. The candle structure remains poor however, the index is approaching it's swing low from 09 October around 76641. I amn expecting print below this level however, traders should also remain open-minded for the potential of a reclaim of these lows that could spark an ultra short term relief rebound. Note: the index is trading just above it's 75-day EMA which coincides with the aforementioned swing low. As always, we adjust in real-time , as the price action and news flow develops. Previous Post: This Is The Current Risk Level Friday 08 November 2024 Time Published: 10h13 This Is The Current Risk Level Following The Bear Flag Breakdown Trading in a 6-week consolidation + continues to unwind from overbought as well as the bear flag breakdown / risk level = 77222 / below the 21-day EMA which has started to slope down. Previous Post Thursday 31 October 2024 Time Published: Pre-Market At the beginning of this week, I discussed the potential formation of a bear flag structure, that is vulnerable to triggering upon a breached of the incline support which extends back to the 08 and 09 October swing lows. On Tuesday we saw some early weakness while yesterday saw a breached of the upward trend. the index closed off the lows of the day, but still near the range lows which extended back to Friday 18 October. Here, breaching horizontal support of 78530 could mark the start of a further downside move and an acceleration of the bear flag structure. I am however mindful that a change of character is possible and would watch if weakness below the break is bought - say, a false breakdown? Bottom line: I remain open-minded.

Black Friday has grown from a consumer spending phenomenon into a significant period of opportunity for traders. While most people are hunting for the best deals, savvy traders are spotting profitable moves, especially given the season’s unique market conditions. At Unum Capital, we’re here to help you understand how to use technical analysis to make the most of the Black Friday trading landscape. 1. Why Black Friday Matters to Traders Black Friday is more than a day of shopping frenzy; it's also a time of increased market volatility. Retail stocks, online sales platforms, and tech giants typically see heightened activity, which often results in significant price fluctuations. Understanding these movements can help you anticipate potential price shifts and enter or exit positions strategically. 2. Key Trends to Watch Retail and Consumer Sector Activity : Watch for spikes in stocks associated with retail and consumer goods. Trends here can signal broader market sentiment and, in some cases, reflect economic confidence. E-commerce and Tech Stocks : Companies with high exposure to online shopping, such as e-commerce giants, tend to experience activity spikes around Black Friday. Keep an eye on these for short-term trading opportunities. Discount Impacts on Bottom Lines : Heavily discounted products might boost revenue but can squeeze margins. Technical indicators can help predict how this might affect share prices over the short term. 3. Timing Your Moves with Technical Analysis Trading during Black Friday requires precision. Technical analysis tools can help identify optimal entry and exit points during these periods of volatility. Here are some insights to guide you: Monitor Support and Resistance Levels : Key levels can act as psychological barriers where buyers or sellers may take control. Watching these levels, especially around Black Friday, can give you an edge in making well-timed trades. Leverage Moving Averages : Moving averages, like the 50-day and 200-day averages, can reveal trends and momentum. During high volatility, shorter-term moving averages (e.g., 20 days) may be better for catching rapid shifts. Stay Alert to Volume Indicators : Volume spikes often signal a strong interest in a particular stock. High volume can confirm a trend or highlight potential reversals, helping you make informed decisions as prices fluctuate. 4. Unum Capital’s Edge: Supporting Your Black Friday Trading At Unum Capital, we’re dedicated to helping you capitalise on opportunities with expert insights and support.

Wednesday 13 November 2024 (Time: 07h47) PACER US SMALL CAP CASH COWS 100 ETF (CALF) | With small caps having been under owned relative to it's large cap peers, there may be potential for a further re-rating as policy becomes more clear in the United States. The CALF ETF considers companies with high free cash flow yields as it indicates a company is producing more cash than it needs to run the business and can invest in growth opportunities. Technically, the ETF has been trading in a multi-month consolidation range where the price has started to show signs of strength. This suggests that there is potential for a new momentum leg which could see the ETF trade at higher levels of the medium term. Lester Davids Analyst: Unum Capital
