KRE $27.25

The signal matches the trend, and the adx is at 42, meaning whipsaws are unlikely in an uptrend.

You are here:

• Reversal
• $34.20, 25.5%
• $29.34, 7.7%
• $27.32, 0.3%
• Now $27.25
• Reversal
• $26.01, -4.6%
• $24.33, -10.7%
• $22.38, -17.9%

The present level is within an area of thick congestion that ran through Novembr and December 2008. That argues against easy progess to the upside.

On the other hand, the reversal levels are spaced out, so there may be some money to be paid on a directional bull play.
