Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared in a blog post by Tom Bruni of All Star Charts (@BruniCharting) It is a daily candlestick chart of the Uranium ETF, $URA, going back to 2016. In the blog post, Tom points out that price broke down from a key level in July. This level acted as support seven times in the past. Classic technical analysis says that former support becomes new resistance. Tom thinks this chart setup is worth a trade for a number of reasons: “We’re trading in the direction of the primary trend, momentum is in a bearish range, relative strength is making new lows, our risk is well-defined.”

For those inquiring about the Breadth Thrust I noted in various indexes, it was discovered by the legendary technician @WalterDeemer. He calls it Breakaway Momentum. In my experience one of THE most important and powerful signals to watch.
