COST WCA - Awaiting a Breakout from SymmetryCompany: Costco Wholesale Corporation Ticker: COST Exchange: NASDAQ Sector: Consumer Defensive Introduction: Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read my analysis. Today, we delve into the weekly chart of Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) which has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern for the past 12.88 months. This pattern is typically a sign of market indecision, and we're anticipating a breakout soon. Symmetrical Triangle Pattern: A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern in technical analysis used by traders to predict future price movements. It is formed when the price of an asset consolidates between converging trendlines that slope towards each other, creating a triangular shape. The pattern is characterized by lower highs and higher lows, indicating a tightening price range as the market reaches a point of equilibrium between buying and selling pressure. In this case, we have 5 clear touch points on the upper trendline and 3 on the lower trendline. Analysis: Costco's price is currently above the 200 EMA, and given the clear uptrend preceding the triangle, we are inclined to see this symmetrical triangle as a bullish continuation pattern. However, the inherent indecision signaled by the symmetrical triangle means we should hold off on calculating a price target until a definite breakout occurs. Moreover, a breakout must occur soon, as the closer we get to the triangle's apex, the weaker the effect of the breakout. This makes COST a high-priority watchlist candidate that should produce a result soon, regardless of the direction it takes. Conclusion: The Costco Wholesale Corporation weekly chart analysis points towards a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating market indecision and a potential breakout soon. Traders should closely monitor this chart for signs of a breakout. Remember, this analysis is not financial advice. Always conduct your own research when investing and consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

Costco Faces a Potential Make-or-Break MomentCostco has been a steady performer for years, but now the warehouse retailer may be showing signs of exhaustion. The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline that began last April and the rising trendline from last May. The convergence of the two has produced a triangle, with prices currently nearing the end of the formation. Does this show buyers steadily losing interest? Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) slipped below the 200-day SMA in October and has remained there since. It’s different from the rest of the market, suggesting that the longer-term trend may have weakened. Third, notice how prices tried to move above the 200-day SMA and failed after COST reported lower same-store sales on April 6. The shares have also struggled at the 50-day SMA. Finally, relative strength versus the S&P 500 has been mostly negative since the broader market started climbing in October. This may indicate COST -- with its relatively high valuation -- is losing favor as investors shift to new stocks.

Buying Costco at a discount. COSTTriangle/Three drives within an upgoing zigzag. We more often now base stop loss off a moving ATR, as testing had shown this to be a more effective strategy than mere price levels alone. Yet, ATR is not always an option. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.
