hmmm... that's very interesting. found the time the last hour to look at my level 2, and then to browse the 'hub', and what do i find? a day i should have slept in, but...
PUMA you say. wonder what he's doing here? hasn't traded this all year. could he be part of a short cover? i noticed INTL is sitting at the same bid, and neither is showing more than the minimum 5k. not that INTL is a big player here. coming into November he's only traded 200-250k for the year. anyways, ASKH has traded sideways for nigh unto 9 years, and looks now to be getting ready to rumble. ergo, i wouldn't be surprised if someone(s) needs to unwind a short position.

this is a link to the 10 year monthly chart. i used one of my standard templates, and left all the indicators in. they're not that important to the point i'm making. which is that now that we've begun playing around that .14/.15 resistance, there's a possibility we could 'inkblot' the wall on the left side and that would lead this to .24/.58/.84, and even extend to the high in March at .96. just spec'ing.

given the bearish engulfing candle, i suspect a couple days of sideways trading. indicators point to sellers up here, and given the run started under .05, thats to be expected. moreover, that close was effectively a test of the ma5, and though i don't think this is ready to drop below the ma10, retracements are a good thing.

welp! its not easy to be early and find yourself late to the party, but in this world where back is forward and forward is a step over the cliff, anything goes. or so its been said. anyways, thanks for the invite. hadn't expected to disappear again, but life keeps getting in the way. and though i'd love to be more active in this game, especially here, survival has become the ultimate.
a true story: i was in a bar in the Village after seeing the New Riders of the Purple Sage at a free concert in the Park. went to the 'mens' room to wash my hands. had them under the water when i looked up and saw 'her' come in. had a body to die for. stacked at the top, with long black hair and legs that went from here to there. i was staring so hard, the water was lapping over and unto the floor. i was still agog when she stopped at the urinal and took it out. it was a lot bigger than mine. she was 'hung', high and low.
the water was still running as i stumbled my way out and back to my stool.

this was another good reading of the chart for BDPT. as noted, the pole run was in accordance with the previous runs. .0004-.0033, 0012-0042 and now the run from .0021-.00525, which brought this to the expected 100ma resistance on the weekly. though we pushed up today to .0057, but we closed below the 100ma dampening line. iow, we have not yet broken that resistance. but i think its just a matter of time.
https://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?chart=bdpt,uu[e,a]dhclyiay[dg][pb5!b10!b50!b100!b200!d20,2!h.02,.20!f][vb5!b20][iut!lv8!lk9!LE12,26,9!ll14!la8,17,9!lah12,26,9!uc14!ub14!ub6!lo!lp7,3!lh9,3!LI14,3!lxa!ld8!lq!lg14!lf14][j20444984,y]&r=3555b
the chart linked above shows the action. this is riding the 5ma support line. today that line rose to .0043-.0044. the candle, however, is a 'spinning top' and this is generally a sign of a pause in a run. other than those tracking momentum, all of the indicators have turned down. they were at the top, nearing over heated. i expect them to simply reset in time for the next upward push. in any case, as is generally the rule to a 'pennant' - its a continuation pattern off of the pole run -- there's usually a consolidating retracement on low volume. i, therefore, suspect this is going to test the rising 10ma, currently at .0034, and for whatever my opinion is worth, that looks like a reasonable target 'area' for an entry or add-on.
and why's that? i mean after all, its already at a year high and has run several multiples since the bottom was put in. but...ah, the inevitable but....
once that dampening line is put in the rear view mirror, the weekly is wide open to well over .03. it won't happen over night, but the chart sez' its coming. of course, many things can happen in between. nothing is etched in stone. a chart is just a map of the past, a historical artifact used to see what the future may bring. but... when a chart comes together to tell a story, it can be a beautiful thing.
so now the question is: is this Rembrandt's "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee"? or da Vinci's unfinished "Mona Lisa"?
always with the questions, eh Moriarity. : why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Its going to be A Beautiful Day.
MNGG... this one caught my eye. but, then, my vision isn't what it used to be. so what did i see?
depite the size of the OS, 7+Billion, it only trades around 20-25M a day. that's not enough to move it one way or another. the chart shows its a range lock trader. this .0002-.0003 area appears to be the relative bottom. yeah, i know. can't go much lower. but the volume is up recently, though its predominately on the bid. but that's where my interest lies.
according to the Transfer agent, the OS is unchanged. and though there has been no newly issued shares in over a year, someones hitting the bid on a regular basis. its not company dilution. so.... if i were to hazard a guess, i'd say these are shares coming available into the float, which was recorded last year at 5.9B. there are 7B shares currently held at the DTC, and when i look at the chart i see the accum/dist rising, and the OBV staying relatively stable. iow, there's an equilibrium here between the buyers and sellers. someone is quietly accumulating.

low volume walk up. year low is .0005. high is .0018. tight range. this is a relative bottom. over 1.5B shares outstanding with float of 1.25B, but barely trades. needs to do more. otoh, no dilution in more than 2 years and the chart, despite the low volume, is positive. bollies are widening out, and the 8ma is crossing over the 34ma. that's a positive sign for a solid run.
interestingly enough, there's a pole run and pennant that took this (with volume) from .0008 at the start of Jan 2021 to .0147 in April of that year. from there on we have the handle down to .005, where it traded sideways and then formed the long cup to where we are now. Friday this closed outside the upper bollies. a break on the bid side of the recent high of .0012 should take this quickly towards the 100ma @ .0015 and the 200ma @ .0019 on the weekly. from there it looks like it goes to .003, and then fills the cup at the intermediate target of .005. of course, this is volume dependent.

Hey Max, welcome to my ever so infrequent board. i might be coming here a bit more, but... for the moment, as i think i noted in a sig on the BDPT board i've been watching from afar (and haven't had access to a keyboard, so there's that, too.)
though i like to write (or as my nephew used to say 'right'), i'm not a prolific poster. and on a busy board, its all too easy to get lost in the conversation. so i wait my moments. in any case, don't know when you read the post you replied to but it was a good read. i make it a point to not be definitive in this 'crooked' game we play, because things have a way of happening, and i'm not immune to being wrong, so.... i couch my language. but... that was a good call on my part if you read between the lines, reversal and all. so here's the follow-up charting:
this is a 3 month daily chart w/ s ton of indicators, all of whom have turned positive. on my charts from barchart i tend to look for the 8 and 34 ma crossings. what's important here is to see the pattern. it starts with the pole run from .0004 to .0033, and then comes the ensuing flag, with its cup and handle continuation pattern. it had a run off the retrace to .0028 but didn't fill the cup until it ran from .0012 to .0042. it then broke off with a two week handle and has now begun to run up another pole. if you extrapolate the data from the two previous runs, they both moved up by ~.003. if this repeats the pattern, it goes from .0022 to at least 0052. on the weekly chart, its the one from stockcharts -- its my own command line script -- it will show the 100ma at just under .0054. that is the dampening line, and thus it is the target for the next pit stop.
https://www.barchart.com/stocks/quotes/BDPT/technical-chart?plot=CANDLE&volume=total&data=DO&density=ML&pricesOn=1&asPctChange=0&logscale=1&indicators=BBANDS(20,2);SMA(13);PTP(50);SRSI(14,14);ADX(14);ACCUM;MACD(12,26,9);SMA(50);WILLR(14,40);SMA(20);SMA(8);CHKMF(20);MFI(14,100);OBV;CHKOSC;SMA(34);RSI(14,100);RSI(14,100);RSI(6,100);STOFA(14,3);STOSL(14,3);TRIX(15)&sym=BDPT&grid=1&height=500&studyheight=100
on the weekly, where all the indicators are up, we see the long pole and then the cup. once past the resistance at the 100ma, this should run to the historic .006-.007 area. at .007 the rsi14 enters overheated territory. that, then, become the near term target on the bid break of .0055ish.
one last note. there's a wick gap here from .003 to .0034. unlike the gaps of .00005-.0001, this might want to fill. that doesn't mean it will, it just means there exists the potential for a buy in that area.

fwiw, its worth. i like this chart. it bounced back and closed just over the 20ma, mid-point of the bollies. with a white candle. a: thats a support line. and b: that could be a reversal candle. i see the stock is being pulled down by the 5ma, but that's a fast line. the 10 hasn't turned anywhere as much, and the other lines are still in an uptrend. more to the point, i can see through the CMF there's bee some pressure on the ask. the slower stochastics are in or near oversold territory. the inference in this is that the sellers, as seen in the Williams, are being bought up. none of the accum/dist, chi osc and obv indicators show the kind of dumping that could be seen leading up to August. and what's happening now is happening with low volume.
seems to me - - but, then, what do i know? - - this is a classic cup and handle setup and this could be near or at the bottom.
in any case, i bought this to go long. patience, however, is like everything else, a two edged word. it is both a virtue and a weakness. a disease so to say, and. either can kill you.

wouldn't you know it. i'm back and the stock doesn't trade today. well, volume had been up, 5day average was 46k, and given how thin this is, that's a good sign.
so what do i see on the chart. first off i see a stock trending up. we've had a pullback, but that's prolly in response to the limited volume, and the macd, the momentum indicator, shows the slackening, but it hasn't diverged down yet and is thus still positive.
and as seen through the obv, chiosc, and accum/dist, retailers have been buying this, pushing it up via pressure on the ask (cmf). nice thing about this stock is the lack of dilution. of course, that's a two edged sword because it shows up in a lack of liquidity, which in turn causes the wide spreads that slows down news would be a welcome event. any price movement upward. that said, the indicators show that money is flowing in not out.
otoh, stochastics have diverged south, and williams has gone that way too. we can see this through the lens of the rsi (wonder why i duplicated rsi 14?) which is trending sideways down.
so...
all things considered, i should go back to sleep. its still a slog from here. but a better one than its been in awhile.
and that's my synopsis for today. not sure why i bothered, but its what my fingers do.

isn't patience a virtue? or is it virtual, and reality is just a figment of ones imagination? i don't know. but after four years of relative absence -- hard times, family and health related issues --i've noticed that other than the price having moved up, this seems like this it has had a forever sideways trend to it. but, then, i've never been one for the straight and narrow.
in any case, i still have a small portion of my original holding -- 125k -- and those dreams of 'sum' money coming my way have never disappeared. of course, i'll need that dough anyway just to pay bills. my recent past culminated with a massive seizure. i had brain surgery early this year. naturally, when they opened me up there was nothing there but that damn mass they had to take out. yup! in one fell swoop, i went from being a 'dead-head' to an 'empty-head'. so let that be a lesson to me not to listen to myself.

regardless of what traders think, dilution also means liquidity. for those who pay attention to the trade patterns of a stock, there is also the opportunity for accumulation at low prices. from where i sit, this looks to be:
A. an accumulators play, especially for those with deep pockets
and..
B. a bargain for bottom feeders.
more to the point, its a healthy trader. there is plenty of action for all, be they buyers or sellers.

casper.... having some ghostly traits of my own, its clear to me that you are neither angry or insane. and there is no such thing as posting non 'cents' when you're playing (as Groucho would say) in 'Dollah's, Taxes'. i suspect you may owe a pretty penny when that day comes.
keep at it!!

they may have already bought... or.... greed and dreams often come together....this mornings action has seen both a parabolic sell signal and the touching of the 20ma (mid-point of the bollies) at .0021. next point on the daily is the 50ma is at .0016/17, which is where the chart shows the next support.

Good Morning Board!
whatever the outcome, as we travel the road, always remember that today is neither the beginning or end. everything in life is a movable feast, so let us enjoy in the repast of yet another meal. blessed is he (she) who knows themselves for who they are.

we are all legends, even if only in our own minds. personally, i think you are an asset to any board. and though i tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, there are not many posters i would say that about.
keep up the great work! on this board, i read you assiduously.
hmmm....i may yet have to get a bluetooth keyboard. gotta an appt uptown tomorrow early afternoon with a social worker to talk turkey, so once again i'll be catching up from behind. but to a long, its not about yearning.

i wrote this command line charting more than a dozen years ago, and no longer have my notes. these charts, btw, are configurable.
as memory serves:
you can change the name of the stock, and if stockcharts.com charts it, you'll get these charts with all my indicators.
if you'd like, you can change the time frames(as i did) by changing the first d -- its the daily- -- to w for the weekly. e will bring up the hourly, f the 30min, g the 15 min, etc., etc.
the bracketed [db] sets the length for the chart. change the second letter to a for 1 month, b for 3 months, c is for 6 months, d is for a year, e is for 2 years, f is for 3 years, and you can experiment with the next letters to see what they cover
in the next bracket, where you see pb5, that's the 5 day MA. change the numbers after the b to get longer or shorter moving averages. i have the 5, 10, 50, 100 and 200. but some people use 8, 13, 34, etc. you can also strip out what you don't want.
further in you'll find ub14! and ub6! that is for the rsi. you can change that if you like. or you can add another rsi with ub(number)!
fwiw, these charts update. so rather than posting an image, i will be posting links to my charts whenever i mention them.
as far as my rendering of the charts goes, neither of these charts show a broken trend line. the doji of the other day was a pause signal, and whether you see this as a cup and handle off the flag, a continuation pattern of and in itself, or just a long flag, which represents another continuation pattern, the retracement and consolidation are part of the pattern. i suspect that this stock will have another run (or maybe many more) in it. when? impatience is the sign before throwing in the towel. all things happen in their own time.
lastly, on the run up the first pole, it was from .0004 to .0033. on the recent pole as seen on the weekly, the run was from .0012 to .0042. speaking purely hypothetically, next run could see another .003 spike from the bottom. current target is the 100ma on the weekly at .0056. that is the next dampening line.
as always, don't trust me to be right. just trust yourself. and remember, any profit, no matter how small, is a win.

though short, this post has a lot to say. as the 'power' trader sez', green days bring out the easy cheering, but on days like this few are willing to post. and why is that? have we all become front-runners?
the true strength of a board in this game is how it handles what it sees as adversity. because a red day sounds and looks like money being lost, it is often seen through the lens of hardship. but might i be so impertinent as to ask, what exactly is it that comes easy? and why are posters afraid of down days when a retracement and consolidation phase are on hand. really, people... where are the signs of experience? or the strength of character and the conviction that comes in being confident you made the right choice, regardless of what it is?
fwiw, i don't post often. i either have to have something to say, or its just one of those 'daze' where i have 'thyme' to kill and don't mind making a souffle online. but this past week my brothers -- that's plural -- have all seen the inside of a hospital this week, and keeping tabs on a stock board doesn't have quite the same urgency. though two of the three have been released -- the third, the only one not in the area, he's across the country in Cali, has bigger problems -- and there were follow-up appointments. given the trends in my life, i think i can state with some certainty that i'm not going to be able to post on many days, especially during market hours. but, then, the way i see it, we who come here to bemoan, enjoy, or simply contemplate, are among the most fortunate of people. sure, we're playing with real money. but none of it compares to the issue of health itself.
in any case, i'm a bottom seeking long. i no longer can play with a low six figure account, and low 5 figure holdings are also a thing of the past. but i can sit on a little money and wait patiently on a stock, and, if my entry is as good as i think it is, i will eventually make money. maybe even enough to rent my name from myself. mind you, i'm not naive enough to not realize there's a lot of risk involved in this, but after more than 30years in this game -- i remember pricing being in fractions, and i also remember when .001 was the bottom -- i know who i am. do you know who you are?
just to be clear: are you a long, setting targets and patiently awaiting arrival? or a trader, dumping, repositioning or flipping? knowing who you are and staying true to yourself is a near essential here, because as i would tell anyone, "if you live it, you must accept it."

oh my gawd, the end of the world. a flat day with a doji on the chart. obviously this has been dumped big. i mean, such a precipitous drop. oh wait, opened and closed at .0036. well... there's always a tomorrow, isn't there?

my friend, after four very hard years -- actually its more like a decade, but who's counting? -- been trying to 'power' up my resources to do 'battle' with those pervasive evil MMs and data-less nay sayers.
ya' know, i was thinking in the hospital i should get a bluetooth keyboard for either (if not both) my android and ipad. but given how my fingers are running away with me -- they do the writing, i'm just a reader -- i might have needed to be hospitalized. but today is today, tomorrow will be tomorrow and yesterday is no more. so i'm just trying to do the best i can, and seriously speaking, or in this case scrawling, i hope everyone else is too.
as always best of trading to you and everyone else (or at least those who are 'honestly' playing or holding this stock.

uh, yeah... worried for all the money we might owe in Capital Gains. i suppose i should be grateful that someone is looking out for me, but don't they know that Jerry Garcia is dead?
damn.. no one pays attention to anything anymore. i'm telling you, someones gotta turn that spigot off. i loathe being showered in babble.
is somebody posting a lot of gibberish here? it might be me. but i don't think so. where are those low .003s? did they get lost? oh well. i think i need a shower. all that time in the hospital for my brothers, and it turns out the loons are here, not there.

as you may have noticed, i'm grandfathered here. been around since 2001, and before that i was very active at Raging Bull, so i'm quite familiar with these other kind of 'idjits'. i usually make it a point not to respond directly to them. i simply haven't got that kind of time to waste.
come to think of it. i have no thyme, just parsley, sage and rosemary. but that's all right. i'm in no hurry. fact is, i look forward to the long ride.

thanx! i'm a big fan of quite a few posters here. so i appreciate when one of them thinks well of a post of mine.
and fwiw, i don't have a problem with nay-sayers. i've seen enough in the past to know very little goes straight up without pause, without retracement, etc, etc. so i welcome their input, but not without their posting the relevant chart or data to back up their speculation. and that's all they're posting. speculative gobblygook. or 'doomsday spec' as i call it. no facts (or fax) needed.
yeah, i can really respect those kind of posts. NOT!

you would think that everyone would realize there's an ebb and flow to any stock run. as a stock moves up, it will often test support lines. last i looked, the 5ma was at .0031 and the 10ma was at .0024. i don't think i'm going out on a limb to state that any major pullback will be met with some heavy buying. most of the longs have already staked out their positions, but they'll be happy to add on. hell, i bought at .0016 on Aug 3, and i didn't get enough to make me happy. so i will welcome a pullback. as for buyers backing off, or waiting, this is just smart trading for those who've been accumulating this stock. there was ample opportunity to build a big position below .002. and fer' what its worth, the daily is still positive. the momentum indicators -- ppo and macd -- are still trending up, as is the ADX +DI, and the money flow is also rising. is the RSI overheated? i don't think so. it hasn't hit my regular sell signal RSI (14), which is 80. so am i worried? not really. but as i said earlier, i'm an 'idjit'. and that's why i'm up more than a double in less than 2 weeks. and that's in a stock that 'was' under dilution.
anyways, are 'sum' traders taking profit? of course they are. but are they dumping the stock? come on, get real! we didn't die when it pulled back to .0012. and i don't think pulling back to test the 5 or 10 ma's will be anything more than a buying opportunity.
so, yeah... BRING IT ON.
