Thermo Fisher … Another Set-Up

April 17, 2026 By in CDNS, CDNS-26-03, TMO, Up-Thrust 2 Comments

Next Leg Down?

Unlike Cadence (CDNS) which has not made a new daily low from its up-thrust position, Thermo Fisher Scientific at left, has made that low.

Today, could be a continuation to the downside or a test of the reversal (not advice, not a recommendation).

Cadence … Lying in Wait

April 16, 2026 By in CDNS, Spring-to-Up-Thrust, Up-Thrust 1 Comment

Repeating Pattern, Near Complete

There have been two short-position trades (not discussed on this site) in Cadence CDNS, so far this year.

Both were small losses.

After the last trade on March 5th, notes were made on the watch-list chart, to the effect:

‘Wait for the up-thrust’

Fast-forward to today.

If CDNS manages to finish the day above the close of March 4th (305.43), it would then be in up-thrust position (not advice, not a recommendation).

The chart shows the situation as of 11:45 a.m., EST

Cadence Design Systems CDNS, Daily Close

Note the ‘Ready’ indication.

That arrow corresponds to this link.

In my opinion, the comments on that post are nearly, if not more important, than the post itself.

Another Wedge … Expedia

November 29, 2025 By in 1907, APP, CARR, CDNS, CVNA, CVNA-25-17, EBAY, EBAY-25-01, Ed Dowd, EXPE, EXPE-25-01, Livermore, NFLX, NVDA, ORCL, SPOT, TEL, Terminating Wedge, UBER, Wyckoff 1 Comment

‘Ending Moves’

Back in the day, Jesse Livermore nearly went bust attempting to short the downside of what became, The Panic of 1907.

Stopped out time and again, he finally (according to Wyckoff) hawked his car to rase capital.

Form nearly broke, to closing out short trades on October 24th 1907, net profit over $1-milllion.

With that, we have a strategic picture, in focus.

During a recent interview, Ed Dowd discussed the +35.95% gap (and close) on Oracle, as a result of ‘projections‘.

The take-away (from him) was these types of moves are ‘ending moves’, not the beginning of a new bull run.

Since then, price action has fully retraced.

ORCL, is currently down a whopping -41.6%, from its all-time highs. Hardly a bull market.

We’ve presented eBay in a similar position.

Carvana, launched itself above resistance at Friday’s close. In so doing, got itself into another wedge.

Now we have Expedia, looking eerily similar (not advice, not a recommendation).

Like eBay, we’ll start with the long term, quarterly chart.

Expedia EXPE, Quarterly

The latest earnings release pushed EXPE up, contacting the upper trendline.

A gap higher and close of +17.55%, in one day.

EXPE has since backed off the all-time high; currently down about -8.5%.

Edge of The Wedge

The following is a partial list of tickers either forming a (monthly) terminating wedge, or have broken out to the downside (not advice, not a recommendation)

APP, CARR, CDNS, CVNA, EBAY, EXPE, NFLX, NVDA, SPOT, TEL, UBER

Markets Blow-Up … A Review

October 11, 2025 By in Bonds, Dow 30, Natural Gas, IBB, UNG, DIA, Wyckoff, TLT, SPBIO, WFC, $SPSIBI, XBI, CDNS

In The Aggregate

Whether or not we’re at the ‘anxiety’ point shown on the chart, is yet to be seen.

Markets are open this coming Monday, except for bonds, adding to the weekend angst.

Reviewing The (past) Week

Posts over last week, even the weeks before, showed from a Wyckoff perspective, something was about to happen.

Cadence Design … Reversal Ready, link here.

When The Bonds Spike, link here.

Wells Fargo Top … 86.66, link here.

Biotech (short) Set-Up, link here.

Top of The Dow, link here.

In retrospect and in aggregate, it’s now obvious something was amiss.

The ‘Art’ of Wyckoff

Wyckoff technique is more art than science, more intuitive than calculated, more ephemeral than certain.

We’ll get into what happens when logic overrides that art, in the next update; Nat-Gas UNG.
