How to read weekly stock charts
These long term stock charts are more useful for analysis of stock market situation then intraday real time stock charts
Weekly stock charts are part of my setup for stock chart technical analysis. I have set my stock market charting software to show several charts in different time frames on the same screen. I can review daily and monthly charts together with weekly time frame.This setup of live stock charts is useful for my type of trading. I mainly do swing trades or position trades with ETF or stocks. I prepare entry and exit points for my trade on daily charts. But weekly stock charts are important to see bigger picture. My analysis of stock market situation of any stock market ticker is not complete without check of long term stock charts. I often see that situation on daily chart is not very clear. It is more easy to read stock charts support and resistance levels on some form of long term stock charts.
How to analyze long term stock charts in stock market charting software
I am always looking for important levels of
support and resistance.
I like to find answer to questions like: Is current price near such level? Is there possibility to move to another important level up or down? Check below how it is easy to read stock charts when they are in bigger time frame.


You will find important levels of support and resistance much easily on weekly stock charts as you can see on examples above and below.


If you want to trade specific stock or ETF then it is important to see and know these levels. Why ? It is not worth of entering new long trade if the stock is close to strong level of resistance. Also if the stock is pulling back from strong support level it can be good to enter long trade. Or if any stock is breaking important level of support of resistance that it can offer very good trading opportunity. I regularly look for such technical stock charts as they often produce
best stock & ETF picks
for my stock and ETF trading strategies.
Identification of support and resistance levels can also help with definition of
possible target
and
stop loss level
for such trade. Defining targets and stop loss level is important for
money management
of my trades. Also you know where to exit the trade.
