Live Webinar and Q&A with Aksel – Thursday, March 26, 8:30 am mountain

Dear Tech Charts Members,

We are continuing our Member webinar series with a review of 4 types of breakouts. Type 1 are breakouts that immediately rally to price target. Type 2 are breakouts that pullback to chart pattern boundary after the breakout but do not challenge the previously broken support/resistance. These two breakouts are relatively easier to manage when compared with the breakouts that experience a hard re-test (penetrating the chart pattern boundary after a breakout) and those that fail (Type 3 & Type 4).

We will review all 4 types of breakouts with recent examples and discuss strategies to manage each condition.

Dear Tech Charts Members,

We are continuing our Member webinar series with inverse H&S chart pattern that acts as a bottom reversal and also as a continuation. Over the past few weeks Global equity markets report identified some well-defined and mature H&S bottom reversals and H&S continuation chart patterns. I hope to highlight differences between these two types of bullish chart patterns and discuss how they develop in the general context of overall price action.

Scheduled for: Thursday, April 18 at 8:30am MST (register below)

The upcoming webinar is dedicated to a thorough discussion on inverse head and shoulder (reversal) and bullish H&S continuation.

  • We will review some of those chart pattern breakouts that were featured in the Global Equity Markets report.
  • We will review some of the qualities we look for when identifying and differentiating H&S bottom and H&S continuation
  • We will look at some of the developing bullish continuation chart patterns
  • We will continue to highlight Tech Charts members favorite chart pattern setups in different equity markets. As always please feel free to send charts for discussion.
  • We will have a member Q&A at the end of the webinar.

Dear Tech Charts Members,

(Register below)

Due to very positive feedback we got for the last webinar on rectangle chart patterns, we are continuing the webinar series with another reliable horizontal chart pattern; the ascending triangle. Ascending triangle is a chart pattern with horizontal boundaries and has bullish implications. It can form as a bottom reversal or a bullish continuation chart pattern. Over the past couple of months the Global Equity Markets report has featured great chart setups that I identified as well-defined ascending triangles.

The upcoming webinar is dedicated to a thorough discussion on this reliable horizontal chart pattern.

  • We will review some of those chart pattern breakouts that were featured in the Global Equity Markets report.
  • We will look at some of the developing chart pattern breakout opportunities.
  • We will continue to highlight Tech Charts members favorite ascending triangle setups in different equity markets. I would like to discuss and share some of the best classical chart patterns that members identified or those charts that members might have questions about.
  • As usual we will have a member Q&A at the end of the webinar.

Dear Tech Charts Members,

(Register below)

As you all know one of my favorite chart patterns is a rectangle. A rectangle is a chart pattern with horizontal boundaries. I prefer breakouts from chart patterns with horizontal boundaries when compared with breakouts from diagonal chart patterns. Over the past couple of months the Global Equity Markets report has featured great chart setups that I identified as well-defined rectangles.

The upcoming webinar is dedicated to a thorough discussion on this highly reliable chart pattern.

  • We will review some of those chart pattern breakouts that were featured in the Global Equity Markets report.
  • We will look at some of the developing chart pattern breakout opportunities.
  • Most important in this webinar we will highlight Tech Charts members favorite rectangle setups in different equity markets. I would like to discuss and share some of the best classical chart patterns that members identified or those charts that members might have questions about.
  • As usual we will have a member Q&A at the end of the webinar.
