To review potential trading opportunities with Pulte's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of PHM (PulteGroup, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of PHM (PulteGroup, Inc.) After rallying nicely from its June low, PHM has formed what may be a double top price pattern (blue). Double tops are reversal patterns and are as simple as they sound: Rallying up to a point (T), selling off to a support, and then rallying back up again to approximately the same top (T). As with any price pattern, a confirmation of the pattern is needed. PHM would confirm its pattern by breaking the $18 support (red) that has been created by the double top pattern.
The Tale of the Tape: PHM should be moving lower if it confirms its double top pattern. A short trade could be made on a break of support with a stop placed above the level. However, a trader could also go long at $18 as well if they believ PHM is simply consolidating.
