Re: when I look at the daily stochastic indicator,
I see three peaks in a decline since September

isnt this called a bearish stochastic divergence?

new highs established amidst a weakening stochastic six-week trend?


Can you post the chart you are looking at for me? I'm getting a different read than you.

When I see Stochastics in the upper range doing this intermittent convergence divergence I call that Porpoising. It is a true sign of strength that is seen only in a hand full of bull stocks like AOL and QCOM.

That said I see two QCOM buy signals that happened Friday. MACD and Stochastics crossovers.

askresearch.com.

The Stochastic is a momentum oscillator developed by Dr. George Lane. The premise behind the Stochastic indicator is that when a stock is rising it tends to close near the high and a falling stock closes near it's low and this is plotted as two lines, the fast stochastic (%K) and slow stochastic (%D). A bullish signal occurs when the %K rises through the %D when it is below 20. A bearish signal occurs when the %K goes under the % D above 80. Dr. Lane believes the most important signal occurs when the %D and stock price diverge. This is often seen when a stock makes a new high and the %D clearly fails to reach or better it's old high. Conversely, a stock is oversold and ready to reverse when it makes a new low but the %D fails to confirm that low.

What has happened, according to the above law of Stochastics, is a bullish fast line crossing over the slower line thus a buy signal has been generated.
