108 ANSWERS AND RATING SCALES<br />

Give yourself a point <strong>for</strong> choosing the correct answer.<br />

While the slope of an EMA identifies the trend, Bull Power and Bear<br />

Power show how far the high and the low of each bar deviate from the<br />

EMA. The time to buy in an uptrend is when a bar straddles the EMA,<br />

but Bear Power begins to slip. The time to sell short in a downtrend is<br />

when a bar straddles the EMA, but Bull Power begins to weaken.<br />

5. E<br />

Give yourself a point <strong>for</strong> each correct answer (half a point if you missed<br />

one of several occurrences). Add two points if you got the bonus question<br />

right, or a point <strong>for</strong> getting it partly right.<br />

When the trend, identified by the slope of the EMA, is up and Bear<br />

Power becomes negative but then ticks upward, it gives a buy signal.<br />

This occurred three times during the uptrend of April–May. The opposite,<br />

a shorting signal, occurs when the EMA signals a downtrend, and<br />

Bull Power rises to or above zero, but then ticks downward. Whenever<br />

Bull Power traces a new record peak <strong>for</strong> the past several months, it identifies<br />

great power of bulls and calls <strong>for</strong> higher prices ahead. Shortly<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e entering area E, Bull Power became negative <strong>for</strong> the first time<br />

since the beginning of the rally; when it rose to a new, lower peak and<br />

then ticked down, it completed a bearish divergence. That strong sell<br />

signal was confirmed by a kangaroo tail; important technical signals<br />

often confirm one another.<br />

At the right edge of the chart—bearish. The trend, identified by the<br />

EMA, is down, and Bear Power is becoming deeper, while bulls are<br />

underwater. Wait <strong>for</strong> a rally to the EMA to add to shorts.
