I recently got into OLN (Olin Corporation) because I noticed a lower trend line was going to be touched and both stochastics and MACD were oversold. I found the stock on November 16th and saw that it was going to setup soon. I waited until the touch of the lower trend line and cross of stochastic. Following these steps can give you a great entry and least possible losses.

OLN began to rally with the market on December 1st opening $0.47 higher from the previous close. December 2nd also had a small follow through day closing only $0.02 above the previous day. As of December 3rd we closed down $0.06 with a Doji Star candle stick. I'm looking for the stock to possibly pull back a few more cents to hit the 20 day moving average where it'll reverse and continue on up to the upper trend line at $21.50.
The S&P report has a 4 out of 5 star buy rating, with a 12-month price target of $24.00. The Reuters report has an Underperform rating for the stock.
Professional reports may have mixed opinions on OLN but I will stick to what I see in the stocks history. Each time it came down to an oversold level while also hitting a lower trend line, it popped up at least 3 points giving you a nice return in only 2 months. I will hold the stock until the $21 level if I continue to see strength in the stock. If the stock starts showing mixed signals once the stock goes up a point, I might just sell it.
