Our system posted BUY-IF . The previous SELL recommendation that was confirmed was made on 06.08.2010 (26) days ago, when the stock price was 215.0000 . Since then AVE has fallen -6.05% .

The BUY-IF alert is still valid. A confirmation was denied, but the pattern is not rejected yet since the past week was not a long black candlestick one. The market is currently testing your patience. Continue to do your homework by digesting all available information around.

The final judgment about the evolving pattern waits for the second week. Either the alert will be confirmed by one of the valid confirmation criteria or the bullish alert will be void and null.

We are posting daily the current confirmation status, but It is still your duty to check the confirmation criteria. Reminding briefly; a white candlestick with an upward gap, a white candlestick closing above previous week's close or a long white candlestick with a big downward gap is sufficient to confirm the BUY-IF alert though with a one week delay. Go long in any of these cases by respecting the benchmarks. In any other case, simply ignore the BUY-IF alert. This second week is the last chance we allow for confirmation. A confirmation failure renders the assumed bullish pattern totally invalid and starts the process of searching for a new pattern.

We do not yet suggest any new short positions given the bullish alert. The short sellers should consider covering their positions if the market confirms the BUY-IF signal. Otherwise, existing short positions should be carried.
