🕒 What is a Weekly Chart?

  • A Weekly chart means 1 candle = 1 week of price movement.

  • It shows long-term trends (good for swing trading or investing).

  • Each candle contains the Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC) for one week.


Why Use the Weekly Chart?

  • Best for identifying major trend directions (bullish or bearish).

  • Helps avoid market noise seen in daily/intraday charts.

  • Useful for position trading (holding trades from a few weeks to months).


📊 How to Read the Weekly Chart for Profits

1. Identify the Trend

Use any of these methods:

  • Moving Average (e.g., 50 or 200 EMA):
    ➤ If price is above, trend is bullish.
    ➤ If price is below, trend is bearish.

  • Trendlines or Channels:
    ➤ Draw lines connecting highs and lows.
    ➤ Breakouts of these lines often give trade signals.


2. Use Confirmation Indicators

To confirm your trade, use:

  • RSI (Relative Strength Index)
    ➤ Above 50 = bullish strength
    ➤ Below 50 = bearish weakness

  • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
    ➤ Line crossover above 0 = buy signal
    ➤ Crossover below 0 = sell signal

  • Supertrend
    ➤ Green = Buy
    ➤ Red = Sell

  • Volume
    ➤ High volume = strong move confirmation.


3. Entry Points on Weekly Chart

  • Bullish entry:
    ➤ Price breaks above resistance with strong candle + confirmation (RSI, MACD, Supertrend).

  • Bearish entry:
    ➤ Price breaks below support + confirmation.


4. Profit Booking (Exit Strategy)

  • Set Target at:

    • Next major resistance (for buy)

    • Next major support (for sell)

  • Use Trailing Stop Loss:
    ➤ Keep moving SL below each week's low (if buying) to lock in profits.


5. Stop Loss (Risk Management)

  • Place SL:

    • Below previous weekly candle low (if buying)

    • Above previous weekly high (if short selling)


📈 Example Strategy (Weekly Supertrend + RSI)

  1. Look for Supertrend Buy Signal on Weekly Chart.

  2. Check if RSI is above 50.

  3. Enter trade when weekly candle closes green.

  4. Place SL below last week’s low.

  5. Book profit at next resistance or trail SL.
