Technical analysts also extensively use indicators, which are typically mathematical transformations of price or volume. These indicators are used to help determine whether an asset is trending, and if it is, its price direction. This analysis uses various methods and tools, these methods or tools may or may not have been modified for their application to Eve. The Jita Trade and Research Institute has chosen to omit from this analysis certain methods or tools. Non-comprehensively, these omissions are Average Directional Index, Factor price/Market Price, Advance/Decline Line, Williams’s %R, Commodity Channel Index, McClellan Oscillator, Point and figure chart 05/09/2010 Page 4 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute Concept > Fibonacci Retracements Fibonacci retracement is a very popular tool used by many technical traders to help identify strategic places for transactions to be placed, target prices or stop losses. These levels are created by drawing a trend line between two extreme points and then dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%. The Fibonacci sequence is a based on the idea that markets will retrace a large part of their original move after which they will continue to move in their prior direction. Fibonacci Retracements 16000 14000 12000 FNL 0.24 10000 FNL 0.38 FNL 0.50 8000 FNL 0.62 6000 FNL 0.76 Price 4000 2000 0 1 15 29 43 57 71 85 99 113 127 141 155 169 Fibonacci retracements occur at distinct levels of the original move. Each Fibonacci level is considered to be an area where the market will likely find levels of support or resistance. 05/09/2010 Page 5 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute Concept > Pivot Points A pivot point is a price level of significance in technical analysis of a market that is used by traders as a predictive indicator of market movement. A pivot point is calculated as an average of significant prices (high, low, close) from the performance of a market in the prior trading period. Pivot Points 16000 14000 12000 R1 10000 S1 R2 8000 S2 R3 6000 S3 Price 4000 2000 0 1 13 25 37 49 61 73 85 97 109 121 133 145 157 169 The pivot point itself represents a level of highest resistance or support, depending on the overall market condition. Trading above or below the pivot point indicates the overall market sentiment. It is a leading indicator providing advanced signaling of potentially new market highs or lows within a given time frame. 05/09/2010 Page 6 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute Volatility > Average True Range Average True Range ( ATR ) is a technical analysis volatility indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder, As such; the indicator does not provide an indication of price trend, simply the degree of price volatility.

Large or increasing ranges suggest traders prepared to continue to bid up or sell down a commodity through the course of the day. Decreasing range suggests waning interest. 05/09/2010 Page 7 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute Volatility > Bollinger Bands Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool invented by John Bollinger in the 1980s. Having evolved from the concept of trading bands, Bollinger Bands can be used to measure the highness or lowness of the price relative to previous trades. Bollinger Bands 14,000.00 12,000.00 10,000.00 Middle Band 8,000.00 Upper Band Lower Band 6,000.00 Price 4,000.00 2,000.00 0.00 1 10 19 28 37 46 55 64 73 82 91 100 109 118 127 136 The use of Bollinger Bands varies widely among traders. Some traders buy when price touches the lower Bollinger Band and exit when price touches the moving average in the center of the bands. Other traders buy when price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band or sell when price falls below the lower Bollinger Band 05/09/2010 Page 8 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute Trend> Moving Average Convergence/Divergence MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence / Divergence, a technical analysis indicator created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s. It is used to spot changes in the strength, direction, momentum, and duration of a trend in a price. Moving Average Convergence/Divergence 300 200 100 0 1 11 21 31 41 51 61 71 81 91 101111121131141 MACD line -100 Signal -200 -300 -400 -500 Exponential moving averages highlight recent changes in a commodity price. By comparing EMAs of different lengths, the MACD line gauges changes in the trend of a commodity. By then comparing differences in the change of that line to an average, an analyst can identify subtle shifts in the strength and direction of a trend. 05/09/2010 Page 9 R ef: 44240 Jita Trade and Research Institute MACD Histogram 150 100 50 0 1 11 21 31 41 51 61 71 81 91 101111121131141 -50 -100 -150 Traders recognize three meaningful signals generated by the MACD indicator. When: • the MACD line crosses the signal line • the MACD line crosses zero • there is a divergence between the MACD line and the price or between the histogram and the price • False signals Like any indicator, the MACD can generate false signals. A false positive, for example, would be a bullish crossover followed by a sudden decline in a commodity. A false negative would be a situation where there was no bullish crossover, yet the commodity accelerated suddenly upwards. Analysts use a variety of approaches to filter out false signals and confirm true ones. As a lagging indicator, the MACD is often paired with a leading indicator, like the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
