I was too naive to think that after reviewing 10 to 20 charts and seeing a pattern where price bounce off from support and retrace from resistance, I formed a bias view to buy at support and sell at resistance.
Of course, over the long haul, my results proved that I was wrong. On certain occasions, I would like to think I probably enjoyed a stroke of luck to get them right by following this train of thoughts.
I have often said the Market is way too smart to be predicted and it is a futile exercise (at least for me). From this XLK chart, we can see that it has just break out of the resistance level at 102.74 and the last bullish candle signals it would continue to trend higher.
I use Amazon chart as an example to illustrate. If one thinks that upon resistance, the price MUST falls, then they would have missed another 27% returns.
