FNM $1.26

This week it has tested both the upper and lower trendlines, and bounced back toward the center, lending credence to the structure.

The triangle, if it plays out, implies a 26¢ rise from the apex. The two trendlines will cross at about $1.27 on around May 6, the date of the next earnings announcement.
