Glen; RE:" EVI..." Not a Hammer today, Glen - just a bullish candle that went up until he hit that resistance there at 52-54. You can see the stuff he's gotta pull up through on both sides of his chart. Since you've been so patient with EVI, Glen - turn your attention to the Weekly Chart . Really nice story evolving there. You can see the move upwards this week has been making a Hammer there, too: and one would feel that a Weekly Hammer would be more forceful than one on a daily chart. Right now, his weekly candle is almost a perfect Doji , which is cool - Dojis are powerful hammers. But it would be great to see him break through that clutter there and close Friday above 52-1/2, making a white hammer-head rather than a red-one regardless what happens in the overall market . Remember that Hammers are supposed to be confirmed by the following candlestick, Glen. On the Daily Chart, today's bullish candle confirms the Daily Chart Hammer . Next week, what you want to see is a bullish-looking candlestick on EVI's Weekly Chart, to confirm the more powerful Hammer there. What you don't want to see after a Hammer , aside from a bearish candlestick that fails to confirm it, of course: is a Shooting Star (or a candle that is a "mirror-image" of the Hammer); or a Doji . Although not fatal, I have noticed that these two candlesticks more often than not will kill a good-looking Hammer . I recommend that you follow other stocks in EVI's sector (if you do not already do so), as well as an index chart of that entire sector, to see if EVI is acting alone, or in concert with its group. Yes, the stochastics are indeed crossing over, too. Isn't that an amazing coincidence ? (^_^) -Steve
