I was quite bearish in the last couple of weeks but have to say that I am very impressed by this reaction of the bulls, which is indicative of strength. I'm not going to say that we're out of the woods yet, but I'm very optimistic.
Yup, we need a few things to happen first before I'd consider the bottom "confirmed."
1) Daily close: right now it's a bullish engulfing candle. We need to close the day above $8,049 to confirm the last dump as a failure.
2) Weekly close in 2 days: right now it's a dragonfly doji or hammer, both very bullish. We need to close the week that way.
3) VPVR notch, historical pivots, and 50-week MA at the $9,000 area: I think we will consolidate/pull back against this level. We need bulls to form a solid higher low.
Higher lows, higher highs, and then we've got a stew going......
It's yet another case of how the bearish sentiment of the mass works perfectly as counter indicator.
Totally. People have been uber bearish lately.
