Low gasoline prices were a nice Christmas present seven months ago, but – like some Christmas presents – they didn’t last long. After a long “third wave down” from $3.2571 last September to a low of $0.7877 in December, prices marked a Candlestick bullish “Hammer” pattern for the week ...

It was surely negative news on June 15, 2009 when the Dow Industrials price bar made an “outside-down” day and, in so doing, bearishly engulfed the Candlestick “real bodies” of the nine preceding days. I do not recall ever having seen such a bearish pattern, anywhere. That was the “left ...
