Global Indexes

S&P 500

The S&P 500 has now closed 3 days above its 50 day moving average in positive territory.

DAX

The DAX is still hesitating just below its 50 day moving average with the long-legged doji.

HANG SENG

The HANG SENG is still in all negative territory, but hanging around its EMA8 line by still touching it.

NYSE & NASDAQ Stocks

Rivian Automotive Inc

Rivian Automotive is slowly building on a first leg of a bull trend after the 88.9% bear drop. The fact that Amazon started using their delivery vans is also helping. It is lifting from a very low base.

Nucor Corporation

Nucor is becoming one of my favorite stocks. After the abc correction it made a breakaway gap to break the negative trend line. This was followed with another two continuation gaps. Yesterday it was the third best gainer listed on the S&P 500. The first two gaps were insider information, followed by the real announcement. Insider trading is alive and well, but gaps helps you without knowing the facts.

JSE Stocks

JSE All Share

The JSE All Share is very uncertain just below its negative trend line with a spinning top candle touching it that was followed with a hammer candle. See lesson 9 for an explanation of these candles.
