Hey Shackers! I wanted to provide an update on Nintendo, a stock that many readers of our Game Trader feature are interested in. The stock is down nearly 10% for the month of October. While there could very well be murmurs of a weak quarter in Japan and on Wall Street, I think it is important to look at all facets of investing in individual stocks.

We will find out the fundamental news when Nintendo releases their Six Months Earnings Release on October 31, but let's investigate the chart for any technical reasons why we could be seeing this selloff in NTDOY. Please take a look.

Nintendo's stock traded inside of it's July 2019 range in the month of August 2019. In September 2019. NTDOY traded up to $49.90/share only to close the month back within the August 2019 range. The bad news for Nintendo shareholders occurred in October 2019, as the stock broke down below September's low of $46.20/share. This is an active monthly reversal strategy sell signal that has about six days left to wreak havoc on shares of the Big N.
