TBT gapped up

    Posted by matt on 30th of Jun 2009 at 10:03 am

    Here's the 15 min TBT chart from yesterday that was in the falling wedge pattern, I guess you had to buy yesterday inside the gap.  Sometimes these wedges do that, just gap up and out of them in a breakaway gap.  Now look for a potential pullback

     

    TBT a buy?

    TBT has pulled back nicely to the downward trendline.  I'm going to take a nibble.  Anyone else?

    Yes, I had a buy order in at the trendline and it got executed.  Where would you put in a stop and what is your target?

    TBT stop

    This is a swing trade for me.  Willing to set stop at 50 (yesterday's low).  On the daily charts, looks like we have had three waves down completed, so this move up could be a good one.  There is a gap on the daily chart about 54.  Could be some natural resistance there.  If the market sells off well, it could continue above the 6/11 highs, which is what I am hoping for.  Anyone else?

    TBT: stop below 50 looks reasonable, otherwise that horizontal line coud be support. I am in at 50.55 from 2 days ago at the 200ma then.

    vida, thanks for the chart.  Looks to me that this could be a powerful long term move up (wave 5?).  What do you see as targets, and will you take half off the table at some point?  

    Well, let's see it get

    Well, let's see it get moving first then I will evaluate. Here is a chartof some Fib retracements that coincide nicely with a gap, 20 MA and horizontal resistance. What I do is set alerts and look at the charts when/if we get to these areas. I try not to look too much at what swing trades are doing.

      yes it has pulled back

    yes it has pulled back to the broken wedge, could be a low risk entry here, however It could still pullback further and ride the wedge trendline lower, but nice pullback
