 Weekly Commentary  

The NASDAQ  quickly shrugged off concerns over the situation in the Ukraine and resumed its upward march, as did the other major indexes. The pace is slowing, however, but that was expected as I reported last week. The chart shows that the consolidation I was expecting is beginning and the index will likely move sideways from here.

 New Features this Week Additional Value that we added this week

The "Chart Browser", which allows you to quickly step through  the charts on each watchlist, was added to the Squeeze Play list.

I noticed that a bug had crept into the Head and Shoulders Bottom watchlist and that  was no longer being populated. That is now corrected.
This Week's Top Tip Tips for getting the most out of our site

Squeeze Can Work on any Cup Formation

The breakout of SFUN  this week from a Double Bottom base  is another example of the squeeze allowing you to make stronger gains while a stock is still low in its base, and demonstrates that a breakout which also takes the squeeze off can be more profitable. This stock has set a new pivot of 97 and will possibly form a CwH from here.

Although I don't yet have any data to support it, I expect that the head and shoulders bottom pattern when combined with a squeeze will prove very profitable. This is because HSB stocks are even lower in their bases still, and so have more upside potential.
