LCATTLE testing support  12/12/2019 Technical Analysis  IFC Markets chart

On the daily timeframe the LCATTLE: D1 is testing a support line above the 200-day moving average MA(200) which is level.

  • The Parabolic indicator gives a sell signal.
  • The Donchian channel indicates no trend: it is flat.
  • The MACD indicator gives a bearish signal: it is above the signal line and the gap is narrowing.
  • The RSI oscillator has formed a bearish divergence above the 50 level.

We believe the bearish momentum will continue after the price breaches below the lower boundary of Donchian channel at 123.67. This level can be used as an entry point for placing a pending order to sell. The stop loss can be placed above the upper Donchian boundary at 126.52. After placing the order, the stop loss is to be moved every day to the next fractal high, following Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the expected profit/loss ratio to the breakeven point. If the price meets the stop loss level (123.67) without reaching the order (126.52), we recommend cancelling the order: the market has undergone internal changes which were not taken into account.
