INSIGHT

Power From Pivot Matters Despite Losses

  • Guardant Health shows volatility but strength from a prior 47% pivot surge and support near the 50-day.
  • Mike Webster sees the 'power from pivot' week as a meaningful technical signal despite negative earnings history.
ADVICE

Use Weekly Candles To Set Expectations

  • Analyze weekly candles for direction: body color, wicks, and whether highs/lows are higher or lower.
  • Mike Webster recommends using weekly candle context to form expectations (sideways, up, or down) for the next week.
ADVICE

Use Regression Channels For Trend Context

  • Use regression channels to find a 'home base' (line of best fit) and one-standard-deviation guardrails for trend context.
  • Mike Webster advises expecting mean reversion to the middle line when pullbacks stay within normal deviations.
