1. Start of new trend - October 8th 2001
2. Head and Shoulder Pattern (Larger Version - See Other ideas)
3. H&S Left Shoulder ($41.75) - Long Term Resistance as Well / This was also formed due to the "Sell on the News" Phase I. So validity is questionable as to the $37.75 armpit depth.
4. Armpit $37.75 on Quick Phase I Selloff.
5. Then we pull back to $39 Consolidation Area.
6. We identified a Bullish Continuation Ascending Triangle hear and published with a $46 price target which we met.
7. Then between $45.25 and $45.50 we get the Bearish Wedge (Red Line), and we see DIVERGENCE ON THE STOCHASTIC. This indicates reversal.
8. Then we get a mini head and shoulders up to the supply area of $47+, where the sellers from the 2000 $47.50 closing high are waiting to take positions like MAD.
9. Of course they are shorting, it is December 26th, AND VOLUME IS LIGHT, AND JANUARY 2ND TAX SELLING AND REBALANCING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
0. All patterns clearly show both exhaustion, and fear of the January unknown.
1. AMD HAS RUN OUT OF TIME NOW ON THIS RUN.
2. We have had 6 waves, or maybe 7 on this run. Too much, too fast.
3. Then we had a small supply zone at $46.60 and this was identified on others ideas.
4. This broke easily, and we headed to the second H&S neckline at $46.
5. More traders took up short positions at $46.60 and $46.
6. That SPRING FORMATION is a bearish reversal pattern on the downtrend, and when I saw that bounce this morning as our flight was leaving I figured $46 or maybe $45.75 and it would reverse. NO BUYERS.
7. That is a CLASSIC TRAP
8. The VXX spiked on Friday, and we took nice volatility positions before this (Bobby Spa can attest).
9. We were looking for GLD and VXX and the rest DOWN today for continuation.
0. NOBODY BUT DAY TRADERS WILL BUY THIS BEFORE JANUARY 2ND.
1. The VXX went for $15 to $16 in one day. We killed it today.
2. VXX and UVXY and great negative correlations to HEDGE an AMD portfolio.
