GPS jumped on mediocre earningsGAp, Inc had a little pop after mediocre earnings to break its downtrend. IT put in an engulfing bull candle to strike three smaller red candles. This could be considered a bullish sign. However, the trend down has been much of the year with two head and shoulders along the way. There has been no significant net accumulation of stock. I suppose there was a volume spike of buyers thinking they were seeing the bottom. I do not think that the bottom is in until there is seller exhaustion. Price is below the POC line of the volume profile. I will not be convinced of a bottom until some net accumulation begins. I see the earnings pop as giving a better entry for a short and call it a pullback correction of the trend down and a great point to take a short trade.
