This week I chose to highlight the chart of Ener1, Inc. (OTCBB: ENEI). ENEI is starting a powerful new long-term up-trend. The stock is making higher highs and higher lows and is now above a rising 200-day moving average (the red line on the chart above). Relative Strength Differential (RSD), our proprietary indicator for selecting stock in super-strong up-trends, is well above the 25% threshold line, confirming the up-trend in ENEI is moving much faster than the S&P 500 and is therefore likely to remain strong and to continue trending higher.
ENEI started its long-term up-trend in mid-September of last year, going from a low of 0.27 to a high of 1.08 last Friday. More recently, the stock hit a higher low of 0.58 on January 22nd, so it almost doubled in the last three weeks. That means that if the stock now closes below 0.58, it will invalidate the up-trend and reverse the intermediate-term trend down.
So, the up-trend in ENEI indicates it is very strong, but every stock looks strong when it's going up. If the stock just about doubled in the last three weeks, and it will take a decline of just about 50% from here before you find out you're wrong, it means this is not the right time to enter this stock.
However, due to the strength that it has shown lately, it is likely to continue trending higher in the longer-term. Therefore, it would be much more prudent to wait for a pullback in the stock before entering. That would also allow the trader to evaluate the pullback when it finally occurs, and see whether it makes a higher low or not, and whether it pulls back mildly and slowly or hard and fast. Its strength and the ability to continue making higher highs and higher lows in the face of a down-trend elsewhere make this a compelling stock to at least watch.
