Trading Strategy: Breakout from Bullish Wide Range Bar (+WRB) off Major Support (MS) and Minor Support (mS). Last month, GE rallied to a new 52-week high, and pulled in to mS (the prior high in January), before closing with a +WRB. Subsequently, it consolidated for six trading days in a tight range, within the range of the prior +WRB, creating a large base of demand. Previous day, it closed with a +WRB off MS (the prior low), penetrating through the supply of the consolidation area. Although the prior high will act as resistance, the bullish consolidation over time has absorbed some of the prior supply, suggesting new highs.
