I am fond of reading charts with minimal indicators/studies on it. I more of focussed on classical technical analysis. In my journey to TA, in between i tried to focus on elliot waves, but couldnt mastered it. But learned a important thing of correction and its nature. Like a simple abc pullback. A concept of faster retracement, or time wise consolidation....etc
The chart under study is hindalco. And it contains 21 ema and 100 ema. Ine is for intermediate trend and other for long term downtrend. Strictly telling you, i am not using any crossover here for bull/bear significance.
Point is good trend generally observed to be pullback to 20/21 ema. And a stronger trend usually upto 10 ema only. So getting into pullback trades is always my trade. I always insist on pullback trades and lesser of breakout trades.
So what points to consider on pullback trades. surely dicrection of 100 ema tells a lot. If moving up then any pullbacks to 21 ema bought into(21 ema should be rising), if falling then any pullback to 21ema will be sold into (21 ema should be falling).
Important thing is nature of pullback.. i mean whether its a two or three legged pullback. A straight pullback with one or two big bars is almost not reliable if you are trading for a breakout through moving average.
In pullbacks, generally seen prices break it and reverses strongly. so look for accompanying bars like pin bar / engulfing pattern to initiate trades.
Will surely look forward to your observations for nature of pullbacks and your take on it.
