Slingshots
Another pattern I look for when using MACD is called a Slingshot. To get a mental picture of this indicator pattern, think the opposite of divergence. Divergence occurs when prices move in one direction (up or down) and an indicator based on those prices moves in the opposite direction.
A bullish Slingshot occurs when the current swing low is above a previous swing low (swing lows or highs are simply previous extremes in price), while the corresponding readings in MACD are just the opposite Notice in Figure 10-6 (Sugar) how the May low was above the late March swing low However, in May, the MACD reading tell below the level that occurred in March. This is a bullish Slingshot, which usually identifies a market that is about to make a sizable move to the upside (which Sugar did).
A bearish Slingshot is just the opposite: Prices make a lower swing high than the previous swing high, but the corresponding extreme in MACD is above the previous extreme Figure 10-7 (Soybeans) shows an example era bearish Slingshot. |
