Hi, tigers! Here is Part 2 of MA: another 4 trading principles. Let’s start this week’s lessons!1. Minor Breakdown: Fleeting Pullback OpportunityThe Pattern: This occurs when the price momentarily dips below a rising Moving Average but quickly recovers and closes back above it. Crucially, the Moving Average line itself maintains its upward slope throughout the event.Market Implication: This signals a classic "shakeout" or "bear trap" rather than a genuine reversal. It suggests that the dip was an emotional overreaction that cleared out weak hands, leaving the primary uptrend intact and poised to resume.Mechanism: The brief drop triggers stop-loss orders situated just below the MA, creating a pool of liquidity. Institutional traders use this opportunity to accumulate positions at a "discoun

From my perspective, these MA principles are about reading market structure, not predicting direction. Minor breakdowns and breakouts test conviction rather than signal immediate trend changes. What matters most is the slope of the moving average, as it reflects average holding cost and who controls price. For $NVDA, the move below the 5-day to 60-day MAs doesn’t yet suggest an oversold rebound. While price has broken under multiple averages, the distance from the falling MAs isn’t large enough to count as excessive negative divergence. This looks more like a minor breakdown within a weakening trend than a stretched mean-reversion setup. So I see this as neither a panic “breakdown sell” nor a buy-the-dip opportunity. NVDA needs either a deeper extension to trigger oversold dynamics or a d

🌟🌟🌟If a company reports stellar earnings (fundamentals) but the stock creates a massive "Bearish Engulfing " candle (Technicals) what  do you do? A classic recent example is $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  in November this year.  This case highlights how short term technical signals can drive price action even when long term fundamentals remain exceptionally strong. Stellar Fundamentals  AI Dominance : $NVIDIA(NVDA)$  continues its reign as the undisputed leader in AI hardware with massive demand for its GPUs. Strong Growth: NVIDIA consistently reported blockbuster earnings , with revenue growth exceeding analyst expectations. Bullish

1. Breakout or failed rally? A breakout is confirmed only if price holds above prior resistance with follow-through. Multiple closes, stable structure, and volume support matter more than a single high. If price quickly slips back into the old range, it is a failed rally driven by momentum chasing rather than conviction. 2. Adding at a key moving average I prefer to wait for confirmation. A moving average is a zone, not a signal. Higher-probability adds come when price shows acceptance, such as a higher low or a strong close back above the average. Buying the first touch works in strong trends, but confirmation reduces false entries and drawdowns. 3. Technicals vs fundamentals or news It depends on timeframe. Short to medium term, I trust price and technicals because they reflect real po

🌟🌟🌟When price hits a key moving average, is it better to add with the trend or wait for confirmation? The 1st approach is more aggressive approach & involves buying or selling immediately the moment the price touches the moving average & assuming the long term trend will continue. The advantage is you get the best possible entry price if the trend is strong & immediate.  However you risk catching a falling knife.  This may lead to significant losses if the trend reverses. The 2nd approach of waiting for confirmation is a more prudent approach.  This strategy involves waiting for a signal.  This could be a specific candlestick pattern or bounce in momentum indicators, before entering the trade. This approach reduces the risk & filters out the fakeouts or

🌟🌟🌟Confirmed Breakout or Failed Rally?   Based on recent price action and technical analysis on $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ the current situation suggests a failed rally that qualifies as a Bull trap, rather than a confirmed breakout. This is due to : Failed Momentum: Even though price action recently pushed above resistance levels, this upside move was not confirmed by supporting momentum indicators like RSI or MACD which signals a lack of conviction behind the move. Low Volume on Breakout :  Failed breakouts often occur on weak volume and a significant spike in volume on the reversal suggests a fakeout which can trap traders. In summary the recent price action of SPY lacks the necessary confirmation such as volume and momen

price action do tell to a certain extend

Usually check price action and volume and wait a while before each trade. Tends to trust fundamentals more than news if technical signals conflict.

MA is moving average. Using movement average can know the signal buy and sell.

For me, it starts with structure and confirmation. A valid breakout requires the MA to flatten and turn, supported by strong candles and firm closes above the line. If price shows rejection near the MA with weak closes or long upper wicks, I treat it as a failed rally rather than forcing a bullish view. When price pulls back to a key MA in a clear trend, I usually add with the trend, but only after a confirming candlestick signal like a bullish engulfing or strong rejection. If price cuts through the MA with momentum, I wait — patience works better than averaging blindly. When technicals clash with fundamentals or news, I tend to trust price action in the short to medium term. Fundamentals guide conviction, but entries and exits are driven by real capital flow. Ultimately, price action ha

simplest tools you need is horizontal support, and moving averages. I plot 20, 50, 100 150 and 200ma in all my charts as guides.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Looking at inside selling or buying momentum direction 

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I used to think Moving Averages were buy/sell signals. After a lot of losing trades, I realised they’re not. Now I use MA for direction and discipline, not prediction. If price is above the 20MA and 50MA, and both are sloping up, I only look for long setups. I don’t fight the trend. If price is below them and MA is sloping down, I stay cautious or avoid longs completely. The biggest mistake I see is trading when MA is flat and tangled together. That’s usually a choppy market — and most of my losses came from there. Another thing I find useful is treating MA like dynamic support and resistance. In a strong trend, price often pulls back to the 20MA, pauses, then continues. When price starts closing below MA and can’t reclaim it

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I look at insider selling & buying of stock of shares I own or intend to buy 

Used MA bullish & bearish alignment to help decide buy or sell is easy. Did not wait for the rest like cross and entanglement takes a while to form.

🌟🌟🌟A good example of a Death Cross occurred for $iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ on November 16 25.  On this date the 50 day moving average of Bitcoin's price crossed below its 200 day moving average. This strong bearish signal came after Bitcoin had already dropped about 25% from its early October peak of USD 126,000. The Death Cross signal further accelerated the selling pressure, leading to iBit ETF experiencing over USD 1.26 billion in net outflows in mid November alone.  This is the longest stretch of outflows since its launch in January 2024. This example is interesting because while the traditional interpretation of a Death Cross is a strong sell signal for an impending bear market, previous Death Crosses in Bitcoin's history actua
