Hi sd
Yes, it could have and perhaps should have and I posted as such a few days ago. Having got back through there, I'm thinking 500p is the next resistance level. I'm looking at this as a H&S pattern, although skewed, sort of lsiting to port and therefore I'm quite happy for the right shoulder to form at 500p. Note the lower volumes accompanying the rise over the last two days and negative divergance on the MACD over a longer period. The SP is also going to bump into the 25 & 50 MAs right on cue, providing additional resistance to the chart and the 'emotional' resistance of 500p.
As I have said, if the results are ok, all bets are off and I'm sure it will continue to motor, but if not.............down we go.
250p a joke? No, not at all, there is nothing to stop this freefalling all the way down, because there is no support whatsoever until it hits that level.
I rarely look to short a stock. One I thought of was MOB at 400p, but didn't; SBT I did, but had to close before the big fall due to leaving the country and incidentally all the 'long' brigade were happy to add and add at 250p before the collapse. This is the third I have noticed that may well prove to be a very profitable trade.
Complex chart patterns rarely follow the book exactly and if it does come off, I am sure it won't fall in one fell swoop, but once in profit it is easy to further build the position and lock in profits.
We will all know by Monday, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, c'est la vie.
Hlyeo, no doubt you are long from higher up, otherwise I am sure you would at least consider the prospect that SOLA could soon be added to your 'Drastic Charts' thread ;)
