We’ve caught up with the current market. At the time of this writing, this is where AT&T is at.
This is an example of how the short term trend changed first, then the medium, then the long.
Price action tried to get out of the top of the Cloud and failed but gave us a 3-day Bullish long-term trend.
Then the price tried to break through the bottom of the Cloud and failed. We currently have Bearish short and medium trends as we approach the Kumo Twist. The future Kumo Senkou Span B line is in the same zone as the flat Kijun-sen just behind us. That is the resistance above. We are running out of Cloud below as support.
Based on this alone, would you initiate a buy here? What about a short?
