A few months ago, in an effort to learn and perhaps validate what many of you take for granted, I noted that AMZN movements fit in triangles. My 1st one (yellow) broke downwards, but held within my 2nd one (red). To my surprise, price held within that triangle until pressure broke upwards, pretty much to hit the top of the "master" triangle (turquoise) before dropping back to the low limit of that triangle.
Today, I was expecting (hoping really) to see a strong rise to hit back the upper line which, to my surprise (no, I was expecting it...) it did!
Of course, Amazon is about to release its Q4 earnings which are rumored to be at an all time high which, I'm hoping, will break their all time high stock price.
Several days remain until the announcement and the price could well drop back to the low line until it breaks out again.
I know I'm not using trader jargon to explain my thought process but hope you get what I discovered to be a useful tool. But am I doing this properly?
