MON 8/24: HTGC – BUYING (1/3) @ $17.43

3:39 PM – Picking up a 1/3 position in this Finance-Investment Management company as shares trade higher from near the 10 DMA and break above previous highs near $17.35, while volume runs 21% above average. The combination of support at the 10 DMA, a move through previous resistance, and expanding volume represents the type of bullish technical action I look for in a BUY SIGNAL.

James’ Trader’s Tip: Look for Confirmation From Multiple Signals

  • Advancing from the 10 DMA shows that short-term support is holding.

  • Breaking above previous highs confirms that resistance is being cleared.

  • Above-average volume adds conviction to the move and strengthens the bullish technical evidence.
