The chart below has a bullish wedge.

Price action’s at the wedge top.

This is how it looks just before an up-side breakout.  Of course we’re dealing with probabilities and the pattern could morph into something else.

However, at this juncture it looks about to move … higher.

The problem is and you may have already noticed, the chart does not look quite right.  Why is price action at the bottom and volume at the top?

It’s inverted … turned up-side down.

We’re looking at Amgen (AMGN), inverted.

Inverting the chart is an old trading technique that’s used to remove analysis bias in one direction or other. 

If a chart looks like a buy (or sell) no matter which way you turn it, there’s a problem … a significant trader’s bias that blinds one to the potential.

Amgen is the largest component in the biotech (IBB) sector. The coming week, may support or negate the breakout potential.
