San Leon Energy gave an early buy signal on Tuesday 7th when the RSI broke out  of its downtrend at the close. The SP closed at the day's high and then made a 123-low breakout above the previous high at 6.99p having formed a higher low.It fell back from the 7.76p resistance but still managed to close above the price downtrend which is bullish. Today has seen a backtest of that downtrend. This pattern could also be seen as an inverse head and shoulders.Resistances ahead are at 7.76p, 8.7p and 9.44p. Stops should be below the higher low of 5.8p for safety but a close above 7.76p should allow them to be moved to just below the 6.99p support.This was a great example of a number of technical plays coming together at the same time.  Original link...

I've decided to close my longs from 6.5p and 6.95p today at 8.2p, a little short of my target at 8.7p.My reason is that it appears to be firmly into a 5th wave up from the lows and I also have to take account of the spread and how quickly these penny shares can move. Basically, I see upside as very limited from here in the short term and would prefer to bank my profit and wait for a retrace.I still think it'll get to 8.7p on the ask side, but the spread may be quite wide at that level as often happens at a key resistance on AIM stocks.

This was a good example of how a 5th wave can be a bit unpredictable and fail to reach the target. Today's drop confirms the end of the initial move up though there should be a bounce off 7p as this was the intial breakout and will also be the backtest of the trendline break.What we're looking for here is a nice 3 wave move down. The question is: how far will it go? Normally after an initial move up after a long downtrend we'd expect something like a 61.8% retrace but the diagonal triangle nature of this rise, coupled with the failed 5th subwave in it allows for the possibility of a full 100% retrace so we need to expect somewhere between 6p and 4.6p as the target for this retrace. And there was a gap up on 19th April from the 5p close which didn't get properly filled...

This closed with a hammer at the symmetrical triangle support yesterday.The RSI uptrend, which formed from a long term bullish divergence, also provided support yesterday and these two factors suggest a move up. The triangle appears to have 5 complete waves inside it which fits nicely with Elliott Wave Theory so it will be interesting to see what happens at the downtrend resistance which sits just under 26p today (falling daily).I've gone long on this with a stop below the hammer low of 21p.

Interesting one this as it broke down through its uptrend support and has broken back up again within a few days.It's got a nice corrective wave structure down from the 127p high which ends at the 78.6% Fib and an RSI breakout. Today's close is also, just, a 123-low breakout suggesting further strength to come tomorrow. Original link...
