QCOM Fake-Out BreakOut
Updated
Earlier this month, I posited the idea that QCOM was trading in a consolidation pattern. The idea was simple, go long on a breakout and short on a break down. The trade triggered to the long side and since then, the stock has retraced. However, I noticed a pattern that I call the "Fake-out-break-out." If there is an actual name for this pattern, please let me know. Simply put, the fake-out-break-out pattern is a double fake out that stop hunts long positions and then traps short positions. The asset breaks to the upside for the long trade, retraces during a stop hunt and fakes the shorts out on the downside only to return higher. I have attached a similar scenario below. If this pattern holds true, the target should be 190+.
Trade closed: target reached
First target of 192 was reached today. Second target would be 197ish.
