To review potential trading opportunities with Zimmer's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of ZMH (Zimmer Holdings, Inc.) below with my added notations:
After trending higher since last summer, ZMH has formed what appears to be a Triple Top price pattern (navy). Triple Tops are reversal patterns that are as simple as they sound: Rallying up to approximately the same point on (3) different occasions (T) while finding the same support twice in between the tops. As with any price pattern, a confirmation of the pattern is needed. ZMH would confirm this pattern by breaking the $72 support (red) that was created by the Triple Top pattern.
Keep in mind that simple is usually better. Had I never pointed out the Triple Top pattern, one would still think this stock was moving lower simply if it broke below the $72 support level. So, whether you noticed the pattern or not, the trade would still be the same.
The Tale of the Tape: ZMH may have formed a Triple Top price pattern with a $72 support level. A short trade should be placed if the stock were to break $72 with a stop set above $72.
