CANDLESTICK CHARTING
A Harami For MDY
11/29/07 11:44:01 AMby Arthur Hill
The S&P 400 Midcap ETF formed a harami at long-term support, and traders should watch for confirmation of this bullish candlestick reversal pattern.
Position: N/A
| The weekly chart shows the Standard & Poor's 400 Midcap ETF (MDY) with long-term support around 150 (Figure 1). The exchange traded fund (ETF) broke resistance around 150 earlier this year and broken resistance then turned into support. After bouncing off this support level in the summer, MDY returned in November, and an important test is at hand. |

| On the daily chart, the ETF formed a harami over the last two days (Figure 2). The smaller candlestick is within the range of the larger candlestick from the previous day. Tuesday's price action is completely within Monday's range and this also amounts to an inside day. The harami is potentially bullish, but requires confirmation with further strength. A break above Monday's high would be short-term bullish and call for a bounce. |

| The upside target is to around 158–159. MDY broke support in this area and this support zone turns into a resistance zone (red box). In addition, the falling 200-day moving average marks resistance around 158 and the falling 50-day moving average is around 157.5. |
