IRE - Weekly and Daily : Height and Width Combination - Trading Tactic Integrated with Measurement Rule

In my first blog entry, I talked about Ire making about 3,000% from its March low. In this post, I want to talk a little more about Ire. Here I have a weekly chart showing Ire declining roughly 99% from its neckline. The head and shoulders illustrated, in this chart, was a reliable pattern in that it helped pinpoint the reversal. Another head and shoulders MIGHT be trying to form on the daily chart listed below. However, that is not to say we can go higher allowing for the pattern to become invalid.

Furthermore, I think that a reversal to the upside could be a possibility in mid-March, if the head and shoulders follows through on the daily. In the earlier post, I discussed the measurement rule and how it can be used to predict target prices. On the weekly chart, Ire went from its low of 0.66 before topping out at 20.18. The duration of this move was 6.5 months. From its highest high, 6.5 months can be measured out, leaving Ire at around $1 a share in late March early April. However, it can find a floor prior to exactly 6.5 months, thereafter forming what could be a big W.

  2. First, you want to make sure you have your rules in place once this stock is bought. Your rules will allow you to cut your losses quickly if the stock goes the wrong way. However, if it moves up, you want to take your profit slowly. This will allow you to hold during consolidation regions while Ire forms bases. The bases are healthy corrections needed in order for the stock to move higher. I will discuss what rules you need in a later post. The rules will be geared towards position trades and can be used for swing trades as well. Lastly, in this chart, Ire appears it may be wanting to go higher as a result of what looks to be a reversal pattern.
