Rising Wedges Break Down

By -

In my posts on 20th October, 24th October, and 28th October I was looking at the rising wedges on SPX, QQQ, DIA and IWM from the April lows and weighing the odds of these breaking down into a substantial retracement in the near future.

I was saying that these are all good quality mature patterns that I would normally expect to break down, but was concerned that we might instead see the start of a larger break up into December.

My concerns to the upside were firstly that November and December lean significantly bullish, and that remains the case of course.

What’s a premium post? That’s something I offer to my Gold and Platinum folks – -the kinds of folks who will enjoy dinner with you and, on alternate occasions, pick up the check. You know the sort. {Hey, where’s gonnabesick? In the bathroom again! I guess I’ll pay as usual. We’ve got a sitter at home.}

Anyway.

Suffice it to say that my post Resistance Respect essentially said, “Steady, lads” in the face of bullish adversity, and the timing of my post was absolutely perfect. Name one time Cramer has done such a thing. Someone erect a statue.
