Through shrewd acquisitions, embracing new technology, and capable management, DISH Network grew from strength to strength.

Its total revenue has been pretty stable since 2015, hovering between $13+b and $14+b.

Being in the business of providing cellular and satellite networks, DISH Network operates on a subscription model.

It’s time to move to the next section of our analysis where we take a look at the chart of DISH Network to determine if you should buy or sell its shares now.
Technical Analysis on DISH Network (NASDAQ: DISH)
Looking at the chart of DISH Network, you can tell that it’s in a downtrend.
Since money is easiest made by following the main trend, you should be looking for shorting opportunities.
The next logical question to ask is – is it time to sell the shares of DISH short?
To answer this question, we need to look at 2 indicators – the arrow and the bar of the Trend Impulse Factor.
Let’s start with the arrow.
There’s a red arrow above DISH Network’s latest candle. This suggests that a new wave of bearishness could be here.
The presence of the red arrow is welcomed as a shorting opportunity could be here. To confirm if you should short the shares of DISH Network now, let’s have a look at the bar of the Trend Impulse Factor too.
Can you tell if the bar of the Trend Impulse Factor is dark green in color?
It isn’t yet.
A dark green bar indicates momentum that’s likely to continue, and in this case, bearish momentum.
Because the bar of the Trend Impulse Factor isn’t dark green in color yet, it’s not likely that this bearish move will continue in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, the time to sell shares of DISH Network short for a position trade isn’t ripe yet.

What should you do in Q4 2022 to grow your portfolio?
Stocks have been really choppy the past few weeks.
But as usual, it’s not the 1st time we have seen such volatility and it pays to constantly remind ourselves to focus on the charts and react accordingly.
The WORST thing you can ever do in a volatile market is to trade aggressively.
Before you know it, reversals will come and go at the most unexpected times to wipe you out.
This is why during such volatile times, you MUST know how to use the right strategies.
In fact, I can tell you as a trader of over 20+ years, profiting in a volatile market is not difficult.
The key here is to NOT fight the volatility head-on.
Lots of people like to challenge the volatility head-on, trying to make predictions or day trade and think they can exit with profits before a reversal happens.
That to me is fighting a losing battle.
Rather, 1 important concept you should understand is this – A volatile market does not mean ALL stocks are volatile.
As you are reading this right now, there are many stocks out there with strong persistent trends that we can capitalize on.
The only part that can be challenging is finding these ‘hidden gems’.
But once you know how to find them, you will literally possess a weapon that can help you find winning stocks with high win-rate while carrying very little risk.
As we see the market continuing to be volatile in the coming weeks…
It’s extremely important to know where and how to find real opportunities and what proven strategies to use that are meant for such situations.
I will be sharing certain strategies that work exceptionally well in such volatile situations to identify and sieve out winning ‘hidden gems’ stocks to capitalize in my upcoming LIVE training (100% free).
