To review Abercrombie's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart
of ANF (Abercrombie & Fitch Co.) below with my added notations:
About a month ago I wrote an article about ANF forming a head and
shoulders pattern, but since then the stock seems to have moved into a
common pattern known as a rectangle. Rectangle patterns form when a
stock gets stuck bouncing between a horizontal support and resistance. A
minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests
of the resistance will give you the pattern. ANF's rectangle pattern
has formed a $50 resistance (red) and a $45 support (blue).
The Tale of the Tape: ANF has formed a rectangle
pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a
pullback to $45, or on a breakout above $50. The ideal short opportunity
would be on a break below $45.
