HOW the DEAD CAT BOUNCE STOCK TRADING PATTERN WORKS – by Michael Swanson HOW THE DEAD CAT BOUNCE STOCK TRADING PATTERN WORKS – by Michael Swanson Hello my name is Michael Swanson and I’m the author of Strategic Stock Trading and The Two Fold Formula, which is a book about the single best buying pattern that I have ever used while investing in an ETF or an individual stock. However, I have been in the markets now going on my third decade and over the years I also have made nice money at times betting against the stock market and individual stocks. This year I once again began to devote a portion of my capital to betting against individual stocks, because the stock market has simply become more volatile in what I believe is a giant topping pattern so far this year. Most people out there don’t agree with that and that’s fine if you don’t, because the fact of the matter is that the stock market leadership is simply getting more narrow and many stocks are beginning to act weaker than the stock market averages and are declining anyway. Now I have long positions in all of my accounts and I am really using my short positions the way the first hedge funds did by having both long and short positions. Having short positions can act as a hedge in a portfolio to help lower overall portfolio volatility and risk. They also can be used as pure profit trades, because the reality is that stocks go down a lot faster than they go up. The top performing stocks in the market tend to double or more over the course of a year. Think about NVDA in 2017 or 2016. The worst stocks though can dump and crash in mere weeks to lead to quick gains and even 100% to 1000% pyramid gains in put options positions. The thing is though most people make a big mistake in their trading no matter whether they are buying to go long or betting against a stock and that is they don’t get in at a good entry point. Way too often someone just buys AFTER they have seen something make a big move up and end up chasing price action just as insiders are unloading and the move is ending. And if they are betting against a stock they do so AFTER a stock crash and then get squeezed on a rebound. The wonderful thing about stock trading though is that YOU can CHOOSE how you enter a position. There is no need to chase when there are virtually unlimited opportunities and setups every single day. All you have to do is pick your setup and let it materialize. My book The Two Fold Formula shows how to do this for going long stocks and ETF’s, because it simply lays out the single best buying that pattern that I have ever used. When looking for stocks to bet against I basically turn this buying pattern completely upside down to find the optimal time to short a stock or buy a put option on it. I call this my Dead Cat Bounce Stock Trading Setup. This pattern involves using a rally on a broken stock for an entry point. By waiting only for this pattern to materialize you avoid betting against a stock at the wrong time after it drops and do so only when the maximum risk to reward entry point is at hand. It’s a very simple technical price pattern that aligns a bearish long-term trend in a stock with a short-term bounce for an entry point. And now there are lots of stocks lining up like this every month. So let me show you how this pattern works. First for the long-term trend I use what I call stage analysis to define whether a stock is in a bull market or a bear market. Stage analysis simply looks at how the stock is doing in relationship to its 150 and 200-day moving averages. In a stage two bull market the long-term 150 and 200-day moving averages trend up and act as solid price support. In a stage three top price goes sideways in a volatile up and down manner while the moving averages begin to flatten out. To show you an example one of the worst performing stocks of the past few years has been Chipotle. Chipotle went through a giant stage three top in 2015 and has been one of the worst performing stocks in the entire stock market ever since then even though it recently had a rally. More recently Tesla is a stock that has just completed a stage three topping process in the past few months. I am actually short Tesla shares as I write this report. We’ll examine Tesla more closely in a moment. First I want to point out to you that during a stage four decline that follows this topping process both the 150 and 200-day moving averages slope down and act as price resistance. You can see what I mean with this chart of GE above. Stocks fall faster than they go up. It took years for GE to go to over $30 and only one year for it to fall from $30 to below $14. The story for CMG is the same too. It took years for it to get to over $700 and only months to fall 50%. I expect Tesla will also dump over 50% before this year is over too and maybe even fall more than that. Those are fast gains and if you use options can lead to pyramid gains on a trade. But the Dead Cat Bounce Trading Pattern provides an entry point for these situations just as The Two Fold Formula provides the best timing model for going long. The best time to go long is when a stock is in the process of completing a stage one basing phase and is beginning a new stage two bull market. To find the best time to bet against a stock we simply flip the pattern upside down. The Dead Cat Bounce Trading Pattern comes after a stock completes a stage three top and dumps and then has a failed rally back up into its 150 and 200-day moving average. If shorting shares we can then place a stop loss level at the stocks 52-week high in order to clearly define the risks on the trade. Let’s look at GE again. The Dead Cat Bounce entry point came in GE where I have placed the blue arrow. GE had gone sideways for almost two years and then in the summer of 2017 it fell to a new 52- week low diving away from its 150 and 200-day moving averages. It then bounced back up to those moving averages in a failed rally to provide a Dead Cat Bounce entry point. You could have shorted GE shares and then placed a stop above those moving averages or its 52-week high for a clearly defined risk entry point or just bought put options on GE to profit when it dropped. Now maybe you would have been hesitant to bet against GE at the time as it didn’t crash before bouncing. That’s ok, because there are countless stocks to watch for the perfect entry point. You can find stocks that really dump after completing their stage three top and then bounce back to the moving averages to provide for a Dead Cat Bounce Entry point. Most people just focus on one or two stocks or only try to trade the popular stocks talked about on TV. That leads to impatient trading and chasing moves after they happen, but if you do the work you can watch thousands of stocks and then simply use only the most optimal of setups. That’s the wonderful thing about stock trading when done in a serious manner. The fact is right now every month new stocks are lining up like this thanks to the stock market volatility and narrowing internal leadership. Tesla for example just completed this pattern. Tesla traded all of 2107 with price support at the $300 level and by October its 150 and 200-day moving averages began to flatten out. This March it broke $300 and simply dumped falling over 40% from its 52-week high. After that hard drop hit the stock though in April it bounced back up above $300 and went sideways for several weeks even getting close to its 150 and 200-day moving average. That bounce represented a Dead Cat Bounce Stock Trading entry point! I am short Tesla stock and pointed out this entry point to people in my private Power Investor group and inside a secret Facebook short selling group that I manage. I still think the stock can be shorted now, but anyone could have used that entry point and placed a stop loss on a TSLA short position above the 200-day moving average. I expect that TSLA is going to do what GE did going forward to lead to juicy gains for those of us betting against it. Now I’m not telling you to bet against TSLA now. You don’t have to do that, because there are more and more stocks lining up like this with the way the stock market is going up and down now. There is one problem you’ll run into though if you only use this pattern to find stocks to bet against. This pattern is great for an entry point, but it doesn’t really tell you what the downside potential is in a stock drop and you really need to know that too in order to decide which stocks are worth betting against and which are not.

  • How High Can a Dead Cat Bounce?: Metaphor and the Hong Kong Stock Market
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 390 259 FL 023 436 AUTHOR Smith, Geoff P. TITLE How High Can a Dead Cat Bounce?: Metaphor and the Hong Kong Stock Market. REPORT NO ISSN-10-15-2059 PUB DATE Sep 95 NOTE 16p.; For complete volume, see FL 023 432. PUB fYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) JOURNAL CIT Hong Kong Papers in Linguistics and Language Teaching; v18 p43-57 Sep 1995 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Economics; English (Second Language); *English for Special Purposes; Foreign Countries; Learning Processes; *Media Research; *Metaphors; Symbols (Literary) IDENTIFIERS *Hong Kong; *Stock Market ABSTRACT This paper investigates metaphor in the language of economics, in particular, the way the vicissitudes of the Hong Kong financial markets are reported in the press. It analyzes the content from an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) perspective, probing for the significance in the negotiation of meaning in the subject area. Text samples were collected from the local Hong Kong media over 5 months in 1994. The perception of metaphor has changed in recent years from a rather obscure area of literary style to a central psycho-linguistic process intimately concerned with the way that reality is constructed through language. A number of subject domains are identified, including anthropomorphism, gravity, fauna, sports, and sentimentality. Findings suggest that metaphor is central to the definition of basic economic constructs; it has a role in making abstruse theoretical concepts accessible to readers or merely to interest or entertain. Metaphor functions here not only as a stylistir device, but is fundamental to the perceptions of both academics and professionals in the field.

  • How to Trade the Dead Cat Bounce
    How to Trade the Dead Cat Bounce In this article, we will cover how to trade the dead cat bounce pattern, which is often a trap for traders looking to get long. I will do a deep dive into how to trade the dead cat bounce pattern and the deadly consequences of timing your entry incorrectly. What is a Dead Cat Bounce? The dead cat bounce pattern is a chart phenomenon which occurs during bearish moves. Simply put, the dead cat bounce pattern is a long-awaited correction of a brutal bearish trend. Imagine a stock is in a strong downtrend. Naturally, there are a large number of short sellers in the stock. However, some traders might decide that the stock has reached its lowest possible point. These traders will look to close their short trades and some will even look to get long. This of course leads to more buying pressure and the stock finds its footing. After this short bounce, the stock will once again proceed in the direction of the primary trend, leading to a swift sell off. The below image depicts the dead cat bounce of Netflix. Dead Cat Bounce Above you are looking at the 3-minute chart of Netflix from June 20, 2016. The image displays a strong bearish trend, which started in the $95.80 range. In the blue ellipse, you see that the price increases shortly and then returns back to its bearish trajectory. The increase in the blue area is the dead cat bounce zone. As you see, “the Cat dies” first; then it hits the bottom and bounces higher.

  • Bear Trap –
    Bear Trap – Best Strategies to Profit from Short Squeezes Have you ever felt the devastating market force of a bear trap? The all but certain bullish trend stops abruptly and a trend reversal begins. Then you say, “Hey, let’s catch that drop!” and you short-sell the equity. Suddenly, the price does a rapid jump contrary to your trade! What a shame! Have you ever felt that? I bet you have. This is what traders call “The Bear Trap”. In this article, we will cover the inner workings of a bear trap and how to avoid falling into one. Bear Trap Definition A bear trap occurs when shorts take on a position when a stock is breaking down, only to have the stock reverse and shoot higher. This counter move produces a trap and often leads to sharp rallies. Bear Trap Setup The bear trap chart pattern is a very basic setup. You will want a recent range to be broken to the downside with preferably high volume. The stock will need to get back above support within 5 candlestick bars, then explode out of the top of the range. The last component of the setup is that the stock should have a decent price range. A wide price range is critical, as it increases the odds that the stock will have room to trend in order to book quick profits. Why do Bear Traps produce sharp rallies? The first wave of buying will occur when the most recent swing high is exceeded, due to the number of shorter term traders who have their stops slightly above the most recent swing high.

All Bull Markets end. These are facts. At the time of this writing in January 2018, and depending on your point of view of where this current bull market began, by some measures we are nearly 9 years into a bull market that rates among history’s best in both duration and total return. But this too shall pass… In 1999 in some circles there was a “new religion” among many market participants that this time was in fact different (LOL). Silly antiquated metrics like earnings and revenues were thrown aside in favor of new growth metrics measured in “eyeballs” and “clicks.” The calendar eventu- ally turned to 2000 (Y2K!) and the rest is history. prepare ourselves for the inevitable market regime change Anyone, like us, who traded during that time may be starting to experi- ence bouts of euphoria and/or exhibit signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as they view the shenanigans taking place in crypto- currency markets today. In the near future, same as back then, we’ll see a similar reversal of trends in stocks and cryptocurrencies.

  • Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades
    Top Ten Signs a Stock is Going to Move up or down Disclosure We have seen in my earlier articles about stock prices moving up or down and possible technical reasons for such movements. Let us discuss them in detail. Top 10 Summary 1. Breakout from consolidation patterns 2. Breakout from chart patterns: 3. Candlestick patterns: 4. Positive and Negative divergences: 5. Upward and Downward Gaps: 6. Bull traps / bear traps: 7. Technical rallies due to overbought and oversold conditions: 8. Over manipulations: 9. Uniform price volume action: 10. Dead cat bounce or fall: 1. Breakout from consolidation patterns: “Consolidation” means the stock moves in a narrow price range (also called sideways movement) for a reasonable amount of time, say few months. During this period, the tussle between buyers and sellers is in equilibrium and once this is disturbed, a “breakout” occurs and prices go up or go down considerably, with good volumes (volume is simply the total number of shares traded in a specified period, i.e. a session, week or month.) The following example illustrates an upward breakout. http://groups.google.com/group/theindiastreet/web/KOHINOOR.JPG Close price moved between 18.50 and 20 for almost a year before ‘breaking out’ on the upper side with volume. Within a short span of time stock gained nearly 250%. Similar pattern is valid for downside breakout too. 2. Breakout from chart patterns: By chart patterns we mean formation of a geometrical figure such as a rectangle, triangle, wedge or special shapes such as cup and handle, flag, pennant, head and shoulder etc.

  • Introduction
    4366_00.qxd 2/23/05 11:28 AM Page 1 Introduction Jim is struggling. He is the owner of JCB Superstores and his competitor across town is beating him up; there is blood all over Jim’s ledger. He decides it is time to take off the gloves: JCB goes public. He uses the money from the initial public offering to buy his competitor and add a few more stores around town. With a growing sales base, Jim’s clout allows him to negotiate lower prices for the office supplies he is retailing. He passes on part of the savings to his customers, while watching his margins widen, and plows the profits back into building more stores. Jim calls his friend, Tom, and tells him of his plans to expand the opera- tion statewide. They chat for a while and exchange business tactics on how best to manage the expansion. When Tom gets off the phone, he decides to con- duct his own research on JCB. He visits several stores and sees the same thing: packed parking lots, people bustling around with full shopping carts, and lines at the checkout counters. He questions a few customers to get a sense of the demographics. At a few stores, he even chats with suppliers as they unload their wares. Back at the office, he does a thorough analysis of the financials and looks at the competition. Everything checks out so he orders his trading part- ners to buy the stock at no higher than 10. When news of the expansion plan hits the wires, the Street panics.
