Those who characterize technical analysis as &quot;voodoo&quot; actually take the rules a little too literally. We suggest using stop loss levels as a measure, and when those stops are triggered, either pay attention to find a bounce to sell into, or that stock will confirm support from a previous level. Why is this relevant? We violated the 20-DMA this week. That does not necessarily mean we're going into a bigger correction; the violation WAS a warning sign that markets COULD work their way lower. This is where PATIENCE is important in using technical analysis. IF markets stay below the 20-DMA thru Friday, that's a confirmation of the break. If markets close above this level on Friday, then the break below was just a violation; if they close BELOW that level, it's a confirmation of the break, and a key to watch for markets to go lower towards the 50-DMA. Be cautious about knee jerk reactions because of a technical break; you could get whipsawed.&amp;nbsp; Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO&amp;nbsp; Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the Video version of this report on our YouTube channel: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qNJPwrh0f4E&amp;amp;list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&amp;amp;index=1&amp;nbsp;  ------- Get more info &amp;amp; commentary:&amp;nbsp; https:\/\/realinvestmentadvice.com\/insights\/real-investment-daily\/  ------- Register for our next Candid Coffee, &quot;Savvy Social Security Planning,&quot; August 23, 2025: https:\/\/streamyard.com\/watch\/pbx9RwqV8cjF ------- Visit our Site: https:\/\/www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https:\/\/www.simplevisor.com\/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealInvAdvice https:\/\/twitter.com\/LanceRoberts https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RealInvestmentAdvice\/ https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/realinvestmentadvice\/ #TechnicalAnalysis #StopLoss #MarketRisk #MarketCorrection #MarketRally #Palantir #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA #200DMA #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing ","author_name":"The Real Investment Show Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/the-lance-roberts-show","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/37702800\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/87A93A\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/37702800"}
