Pullback in trend · Analysis method

The price of CSX is currently in no zone of this method. The check runs daily after the market close.

Whether a price will soon reach a zone, you see from Watcher. Plans and pricing

How the zone is formed

What is this? In an intact uptrend (price above the 200-day line, 50-day line rising), the price pulls back to the 50-day line after a rise and closes back above it.

Buy zone: around the 50-day line (± 0.5 ATR). Stop: 1.5 ATR below it. Target 1: the last high, Target 2: 2 ATR above it.

The pattern is valid for at most 15 trading days and expires if the price falls below the stop. This is a calculated analysis, not a forecast and not a call to buy. Risk notice and investment advice
