With a short-entry signal that’s straight out of David Weis’ training video (recorded in 2007), Alcoa breaks down in dramatic fashion (not advice, not a recommendation).

As of this post, 11:34 a.m., EST, Alcoa has gap-opened lower, currently down, -5.10%.

Alcoa AA, Daily

Prior short, AA-26-03, was exited last Friday with profit.

That action proved to be correct. The next session (yesterday), was a rally into a test.

Today, was a gap-lower open.

There’s a potential for a sustained move. Short, AA-26-04, opened with a stop located at yesterday’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Once Again, The Pattern Repeats

It’s been one (potentially) false breakout after another.

So far, we have Alcoa, Simon Property Group, and now, Five Below.

Before continuing, trade AA-26-03, Alcoa short. closed: Profit 2.51% (not advice, not a recommendation).

The expectation was for decisive downside; it wasn’t happening

Now, back to FIVE.

The longer-term chart shows what’s taking place in this market and the markets overall, is on a massive scale.

Five Below FIVE, Weekly

The zoom area has five weeks of tight congestion.

That was followed by an attempted upside breakout last week, which (so far) has failed.

The stop on short-trade FIVE-26-01, is set at just above Friday’s high, 239.52 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Alcoa … Top, Drop, Test

Trading Channel

Today’s new daily low, indicates test of the up-thrust reversal (below), is complete.

During yesterday’s open, as the initial minutes pushed action higher, a short was opened (not advice, not a recommendation).

As Linda Rashke just got done telling us:

‘You need to have the market available (for your position) to take or provide your ‘inventory’

That means, selling out the longs or going short as the market is liquid or rising (not advice, not a recommendation).

Alcoa Corporation AA, Daily

Managing this trade, is watching the channel, maintaining position as long as price action dictates (not advice, not a recommendation).
