A candlestick shadow, or wick, which may be seen on a candlestick chart, is a vertical line that appear above and/or below the body of the candlestick. These shadows essentially represent the highest (upper shadow) and lowest (lower shadow) prices at which a securities has traded over a certain period of time. The candlestick's shadow can be compared to its wide part, which is referred to as the body of the candle. The longer is the shadow, the stronger is the reversal following that price action, once price breaks out of the consolidation period, either to the upside or downside depending on market conditions for that specific security.
The market has been range bound for the last few weeks with volatility on the decline, and earnings all over the place. So where to go to look for a trade? Nike has already had Earnings and is near a low of the year, so seems like a good option. As a contrarian that can mean only one thing to me: I have to make a trade with the assumption it will go up from here over the next 45ish days. We will do that by making a Long Call Vertical trade to bet that it starts to head up over the next couple months. For more on my trading and how to join me in real time, see below.
