TradingMarkets Chart of the Day
For today’s Chart of the Day, let’s take a look at the
Stocks Ready To Surge list published each day on the
Indicators
page. These are the stocks that today made new 10-day lows that are still
in an uptrend as they are trading above their 200-day moving average. They are
sorted in rank according to how over-extended they are vs. their 10-day moving
average. These stocks are simple pullback trades, as we look for a
trending stock to move against its trend, usually resulting in a reversal
continuation move.
