META's Reverse Island - Two More Mag Seven Islands to Monitor
By: Erin Swenlin | April 26, 2024

Whenever we see price gapping up or down, as happened with META in February, we prepare for the possibility of an island reversal. After the gap up, price forms a cluster, the island, and we ponder the possibility of a gap down to complete the reversal. During the formation of META's island, news coverage was very positive, but yesterday's earnings report made investors unhappy, and META really took a dive, jumping down across the gap.

While some might have been surprised by the final resolution, the chart gave ample clues, as there were negative divergences on both the PMO (price) and OBV (volume).



There was also a PMO negative divergence on the weekly chart.



Island reversals can happen to the downside as well as the upside.

However, we have two more island formations to monitor in the intermediate term. Neither appears that dangerous, as the clues we had on META are not visible on Amazon (AMZN) and NVIDIA (NVDA)...
