Thank you to everyone who responded to this week's mystery chart.

There were a lot of people on the right track in guessing what it was...but nobody got it exactly, which serves you right for guessing.

In any case, most of you are taking a neutral or bullish approach to the chart and agreed that a potential trend reversal is in the works.

Let's take a look.

In May we wrote a post for premium members titled "Technology Issues Continue", speaking about a failed breakout and general lack of trend in Indian Technology stocks.

Our conclusion then was to be avoiding the sector on the long side and that its weakness was a drag on the broader market given its 10% weighting in the Nifty 500.

Today, not much has changed, in fact, it's arguably getting worse.

Let's take a look.

If you look at a list of the best-performing stock markets in the world this year and over the last few, you'll see New Zealand towards the top of that list in both local currency and US Dollar terms.

With that said, today's Chart of The Week is focused on another New Zealand chart that's NOT equities.

Don't worry, we'll talk equities too for you non-currency traders.

I'm not saying I'm bullish on Disney because my family recently signed up to send them money every month for Disney+, but it certainly has me thinking about the tremendous new source of cashflow to be streaming into their coffers. That's got to be bullish, right?

Of course, at All Star Charts, all we ever follow around here is price so none of the above really matters, it just makes a nice story. But lo and behold, the $DIS chart sure is setting up for a continuation of what already is a pretty significant run:

We just got back from 6 days in India and I think it will add some value to give you some perspective on the kinds of things we learned. Sean McLaughlin is our Chief Options Strategist and had never been to Asia before. This was an eye opening experience for him and one that reiterated a lot of important things I noticed in my prior visits to Mumbai.

We attended a CMT Conference, we filmed a documentary on Indian Options Trading, we ate some of the best food this planet has to offer, we hung out with some of the nicest and coolest people know and got to learn a ton from everything around us. I love going to Mumbai and it’s so nice to see the rest of the gang enjoyed their time there as well.

I always feel so welcomed by everyone. I can’t wait to go back! I hope this podcast helps shed some light on how much we enjoyed the trip and maybe that encourages you to make the...

What I always like to say is that Technical Analysis doesn't give us all the answers, but it certainly goes a long way in helping us ask the right questions. That's what this is all about.

Today I have 2 questions I'm asking:

New Mystery Chart!

For those new to the exercise, we take a chart of interest and remove the x/y-axes and any other labels that would help identify it. The chart can be any security in any asset class on any timeframe on an absolute or relative basis. Maybe it's a custom index or inverted, who knows!

We do all this to put aside the biases we have associated with this specific security/the market and come to a conclusion based solely on price.

You can guess what it is if you must, but the real value comes from sharing what you would do right now. Buy, Sell, or Do Nothing?

The Nifty 50 and Nifty 500 are back at the top of their multi-year range right as we're starting to see signs of exhaustion in various global markets.

Failed breakouts and bearish momentum divergences help us to identify potential reversals in the market and we're seeing a few of them occur in India and elsewhere.

The markets may be down today, but we're as bullish today as we've been all year and we love buying dips on bullish names. Today is no different.

One of the names we've been wanting to get into is offering a tasty pullback today, so we're pulling the trigger.

Over the weekend I was running our "Weekend Momentum Report" for Institutional Clients and the message was very similar to last week, so I thought it was worth sharing.

With a new month come fresh monthly candles.

While we were going to write a comprehensive post on the most important monthly charts from November, we realized there are only two that matter to India's stock market right now.

Let's take a look.
