Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR) charts have clearly strengthened since August
In the daily chart of TWTR, below, we can see a number of price gaps — some of them in the uptrend from January to June and also a big downside gap in July. Gaps can be unnerving if one is wrongly positioned so let’s just look at the price action from early August.
Many market observers would call this price action from August an inverse head-and-shoulders bottom pattern. I have a number of issues with that idea/observation — the size, the location and the volume — the pattern is too small, the location is not after a long decline and the volume does not build through the pattern. However, you may find it easy to “see” the pattern. Let’s just forget about name tags and call it an accumulation or bullish pattern. Prices have closed above the 50-day moving average line and the slope of the line has turned positive. This week TWTR closed above the flat 200-day moving average line.
Now look at the On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line, which shows a rise from early August to now telling us that buyers of TWTR have been more aggressive. The trend-following Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator has just turned up from the zero line for a new outright go long signal.
This all sounds bullish. Right?
