There is ample warning to take preservation of capital actions before \/ if a major market decline might take place, remembering that the trend is our friend; that a stock can\u2019t go down until it stops going up; and that most of the time (with the exception of inverted \u201cV\u201d tops) a period of distribution precedes a decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mentor, Alan Shaw, realizing that a good deal of analytical frustration materializes simply by the lack of logical reasoning, set forth the \u201cSeven Questions\u201d discipline; easy rules that tend to occur more or less in the offered sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, when analyzing a stock or a market index for a potential reversal of trend, a simple but most important question must be asked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the stock \/ index have a move of substance to reverse? A major reversal formation certainly would not be looked for in a stock that has only moved from 20 to 26, but if a move from 20 to 60 or to 200 or more has been experienced, any reversal in trend could become major.<br>(Clearly, following gains in excess of 100% plus from the March 2009 lows (even since 2016), many stocks had rising moves of substance in place!)If the first question is answered \u201cYes,\u201d we then ask:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the stock \/ index fulfilled readable price objectives? Technical analysis does generally afford the opportunity to calculate price objectives based on the size of the accumulation and \/ or consolidation pattern preceding the advance.<br>(The indexes and multiple stocks into the 2021 high achieved readable targets from the 2009 (or 2016) basing configurations and exceeded them generously.)If the answer to question 2 is \u201cYes,\u201d then we move to:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the stock \/ index violated its uptrend? The occurrence of a trend violation could represent the technical forerunner, or an early warning, of a reversal in the major direction of the stock\u2019s price movement.<br>(A growing number of stocks have breached their initial uptrends.)If \u201cYes,\u201d question 4 then asks:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are there signs of distribution evident? Evidence of distribution can take on many forms. Charts display certain patterns (a double top, \u201chead-and-shoulders,\u201d a descending triangle, or even a horizontal pattern, as examples) and pivot off the technical assumption that a \u201cperiod of distribution\u201d precedes declines; but there can also occasionally be sudden reversals from a new high.<br>(A number of stocks portrayed \/ are portraying patterns of distribution; and as some rallies approach 2021 price peaks, one may need to revisit Q 1 and Q 2 in evaluating the potential for double tops.)If \u201cYes,\u201d then:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If distribution is evident, is it significant enough to imply that more than a minor movement in price could be in the offing? The greater the distribution pattern, the greater the anticipated decline.<br>If one has answered the first five questions in an affirmative manner \u201cYes,\u201d then positions should be lightened (or protected) as the affirmative answers accumulate. Question 6 asks:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the stock violated a readable support level? A \u201cYes\u201d answer here would represent a stop-loss discipline point, further protecting capital, and takes us to the last question, which one should not reach with a fully invested position:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the stock initiated a downward trend? A \u201cYes\u201d answer to this should be arrived at with positions closed (or fully protected), or use rallies to complete such action.There is a floater question which can be inserted in between any of the above seven: \u201cIs there any evidence of unusual price and \/ or volume action?\u201d Sharp upward or downward runs following a major move can often be an indication of a \u201cclimactic\u201d phase of market action.<strong>Note:<\/strong>&nbsp;We realize that these evaluations are made more difficult and frustrating in today\u2019s proliferation of ETFs, of hedge fund influence, electronic trading, shorting pressures without the uptick rule and intra-day algorithmic programs. But the 7 Qs apply equally to ETFs.One aspect of the above comes in the form of \u201cfalse breakouts\u201d (or false breakdowns), in which a breakout occurs without upward (or downward) follow-through. There is often evidence of these events in the progress of stocks trends. Therefore, monitoring support levels as prices may fail in their apparent breakouts becomes an important preservation of capital discipline.For an exercise in these questions, please reference the chart as an educational example.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted May 22, 2023 &#8211; <a
