Stock Trends Editorial

  • Understanding Our Assumptions — A Decade Later
    Understanding Our Assumptions — A Decade Later For decades, the Stock Trends framework has rested on a foundational analytical question: Can we infer future return tendencies from recurring patterns of trend, momentum, and trading activity? In 2014, we formalized this question through the Stock Trends Inference Model (ST-IM), built on two basic premises: Market conditions are non-specific to a particular security. Market responses to these conditions are specific. Those ideas remain central to Stock Trends today. But the investing world has changed. Academic research into momentum, trend-following, and behavioural finance has deepened; markets have experienced extreme macro cycles; and our own analytical tools have evolved dramatically. A decade later, it is time to revisit the original assumptions, test them against modern evidence, and expand their meaning for today’s Stock Trends users.

  • Trading Nvidia with the Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis Model
    Trading Nvidia with the Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis Model Nvidia’s extraordinary rise in recent years has made it a centrepiece of both long-term institutional portfolios and short-term trading desks. Yet few tools provide a disciplined, data-driven lens for navigating NVDA’s volatile weekly momentum. The Stock Trends RSI +/– Pattern Analysis model model is one of them—an evidence-based framework that converts historical price–benchmark relationships into probabilistic expectations of next-week performance. When applied to NVDA-Q, it becomes a powerful guide for traders seeking tactical entries, binary-style short-term trades, or precision timing for longer-term positions.

  • Silver’s Ascent and the Discipline of Stock Trends: How Trend Indicators and ST-IM Guidance Shape Today’s Opportunities
    Silver’s Ascent and the Discipline of Stock Trends: How Trend Indicators and ST-IM Guidance Shape Today’s Opportunities Silver’s remarkable advance into the final weeks of 2025 has not merely lifted the metal itself—it has broadened across miners, royalty companies, bullion funds, and leveraged silver proxies in a way rarely seen in the past decade. Investors watching this sector cannot help but ask whether the trend still offers opportunity or whether this is a moment that calls for caution. The Stock Trends framework provides the clarity required to navigate this environment with discipline rather than emotion.

  • Navigating Market Turmoil in December 2025 – How Stock Trends Guides Investors
    Navigating Market Turmoil in December 2025 – How Stock Trends Guides Investors December 2025 arrives under a cloud of uncertainty: a K‑shaped slowdown following a prolonged U.S. government shutdown, diverging consumer fortunes, and fading AI euphoria have set the stage for markets riddled with volatility. Central banks are on pause, oil faces looming oversupply, and investors are questioning whether the tech boom can sustain its lofty valuations. Against this backdrop, Stock Trends’ data‑driven framework offers a beacon, spotlighting where defensive strength and innovation can outshine the turmoil—and where caution is warranted in the weeks ahead.
