Triple Top - GDX Question

    Posted by myleshar on 25th of Aug 2011 at 10:36 pm

    anybody have any info or knowledge on what percentage of the time that stocks which make a triple top fail and have large retreats vs. what percentage pierce through the top with only a mild correction?


    Just wondering, triple tops seem scary to me... a la the daily GDX chart

    well, I didn't say the triple top was today..... if you look at the chart I posted the three following points are the triple tops I am talking about;

    Dec 2010 - 64.19

    Apr 2011 - 64.14

    few days ago - 64.05

     

    Its pretty obvious if you look at the chart.

     

    What does everybody else think?

    Don't know about that, (I need to look up "three mountains" in Nison's book) but two things have my attention on the daily:

    1.  We had a higher high on Monday compared to the 7/25 high but the MACD did not confirm: negative divergence is present.

    2. The "K" signal line on the 60, 3 stochastics crossed below 80% today.

    OTOH, today's volume was about 108% of average, which means it could be more than a snap-back bounce. It can certainly go higher, but I chickened out and sold my GDX today.  So hard to stick to the mechanical system!
