Expert technical analysis of financial markets by JC Parets

Introducing: All Star Options!

by

I’ve been looking forward to this day all year. All Star Options is now live – Go check it out!

Over the years we’ve built a customer base of smart, well informed and eager to learn investors from all over the world. Active Traders, Hedge Funds, Banks, Financial Advisors and many others come to Allstarcharts for unbiased technical analysis research with invariable consistency. We service most of the largest and most powerful financial institutions on earth, but the price point is also approachable for investors trading their own accounts.

Since creating this research platform, I’ve noticed an overwhelming demand for options strategies. Until now, traders have just taken my work and then crafted options trades to express some of my best ideas in the derivatives market. I get emails from Wall Street Traders, for example, telling me how much business they get what they turn my ideas into options trades for their buy side clients. Individual traders do the same, but for their own accounts.

This extra step ends now. [Read more…]

[Chart Of The Week] Ethereum Approaches Key Levels

by

When I go through all of the crypto currencies, the healthiest one and the only one already pressing up against key resistance is Ethereum. You guys know I look for relative strength and positive momentum. Ethereum is showing characteristics of both right now.

Today I want to take a look at what we’re seeing in Ether, as the great Nasir Jones would refer to it. He’s one of our generations greatest poets and I think what we’re seeing in the Ether right now is pure poetry. [Read more…]

[Premium] Cryptos Are All Breaking Out Of Downtrends

by

When I go through charts of the most popular crypto currencies, it’s hard to ignore the fact that we’re seeing prices breaking out above downtrend lines from their respective highs. Go one by one, we’re seeing it all over.

So what does that mean? Should we be buying all the crypto currencies right now?

I Want A Refund From Mr. Market

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni

Since the market’s volatility picked up in late January, one key piece of the bear thesis has been weakness in Technology, yet we’ve not seen a crack and flush lower. I don’t know about you, but I was promised a “Tech Wreck” and will not leave until we get one or Mr. Market provides me a refund.

Okay I’m being facetious, but in this post I want to outline what I’m watching and explore what the implications are if the potential bearish patterns in this sector don’t pan out.

[Options] Downside and Fear is Priced In. Sell it? (…and the allure of old comfortable suits)

by

I’m going to disappoint the options eggheads with my opinions here, because I’m going on gut feel.

I haven’t done any exhaustive research. I haven’t done any volatility skew analysis or 3D modeling. I haven’t reviewed seasonality patterns, or dug deep into open interest imbalances.

No, I haven’t done any of that.

Simply trusting my gut, it feels to me fear of stock market risk is being overplayed and everyone who is scared of headlines, trouble in the White House, geopolitics, etc (which seems is nearly everyone) has already fully hedged their risk or has put on speculative short positions and are thus natural buyers into any dips to profitably cover their positions — which in effect helps to put a floor under equities.

Think about it. [Read more…]

[Premium] What Market Breadth Is Suggesting For Prices

by

From the desk of Tom Bruni

Many have fixated their attention on the “triangle pattern” that’s formed the NYSE Composite Index and other major US indices.  This pattern is a visual representation of the indecision between buyers and sellers in the market, and its resolution typically leads to a significant move in the direction of its breakout.  In times like this where the index itself has little directional conviction, a study of the components may offer some insight into which way the market resolves.

[Premium] We Want To Buy This Sector Right Now

by

It’s impossible for me to ignore. As someone who pays such close attention to Momentum, the fact that there are so few stocks showing bearish momentum characteristics is absurd. The overwhelming strength being shown here from stocks is spectacularly bullish in my opinion. Combine that with the fact that everyone thinks the world is coming to end, and boom, you’ve got a trade! [Read more…]
