Example Stock Charts
“MoonshotScore rates a US-listed stock 0 to 100 — higher means stronger numbers. Most carry an older nine-factor score; the rest use five sector-relative pillars, re-ranked daily — common stocks and ADRs only. Funds, ETFs, warrants, units, SPACs, preferreds, and notes carry none. It is built for education and deeper due diligence, not financial advice.”
Questions worth resolving before acting on the screen
What is technical analysis?
Technical analysis is a method of evaluating investments by analyzing past market data, such as price and volume. It aims to forecast future price movements based on historical patterns and trends.
How do I identify trends on a stock chart?
Trends can be identified by drawing trendlines connecting a series of highs (in a downtrend) or lows (in an uptrend). Moving averages can also help smooth out price data and highlight the underlying trend.
What are support and resistance levels?
Support levels are price levels where a stock tends to find buying interest, preventing further decline. Resistance levels are price levels where a stock tends to encounter selling pressure, limiting further upward movement.
