Group 1 - The article indicates that the sentiment three-line has dropped and is consolidating, with signs of a potential bottoming out in the market [1] - The rebound is expected to be limited, likely not exceeding the upper boundary of the current oscillation structure, suggesting a second type of structure is developing [1] - The possibility of a 3T VCP (Volatility Contraction Pattern) is highlighted, indicating a small top formation followed by a pullback before a potential breakout [1] Group 2 - There is a noted potential for further downside tomorrow, as the 15-minute VAD (Volume Accumulation Distribution) divergence is not very clear, although MACD divergence is present but still weak [1] - Stock performance is expected to show significant divergence, with a strategy of low buying to capture rebounds being recommended [1] - It is advised to maintain a lighter position, with larger opportunities likely arising only when the sentiment three-line drops to an extreme low, which may take time [1]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the KDJ indicator as a tool for identifying turning points in the stock market, likening it to a "speed sensor" for stock prices, helping investors understand whether the market is accelerating towards a peak or preparing for a rebound [1]. Group 1: KDJ Indicator Overview - KDJ consists of three lines: K (short-term speed), D (medium-term speed), and J (extreme speed), which together monitor stock price momentum [3]. - The combination of these three lines is essential for identifying market turning points [3]. Group 2: Practical Application of KDJ - **Golden Cross and Death Cross**: A golden cross occurs when the K line crosses above the D line, signaling a potential upward movement, while a death cross occurs when the K line crosses below the D line, indicating a possible downward correction. For example, a tech stock saw its price rise from 15 to 30 after a golden cross, then drop back to 20 following a death cross [4]. - **Overbought and Oversold Conditions**: The J line indicates extreme conditions; a J value above 100 signals overbought conditions, while below 0 indicates oversold conditions. For instance, a liquor stock had a J value of 120 before a 15% correction, and a J value of -10 before an 8% rebound [5]. - **Divergence**: A top divergence occurs when the stock price reaches a new high but the KDJ does not, suggesting potential selling pressure. Conversely, a bottom divergence indicates a possible reversal when the stock price hits a new low but the KDJ does not [8]. Group 3: Trading Strategies and Tips - KDJ is best used for short-term fluctuations, particularly in a sideways market, where its signals are more reliable [8]. - In a strong trend, KDJ may remain in overbought or oversold territory, and traders should consider volume and market conditions before making decisions [8]. - A mnemonic for using KDJ effectively is: "Golden cross looks at volume, death cross looks at support, avoid hard resistance in overbought/oversold conditions, and turn quickly when divergence appears" [8].
