General's stock is forming a head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. Please take a look at the 1-year chart of BGC (General Cable Corporation) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of BGC (General Cable Corporation) Over the last (4) months BGC has created a very important level at $32 (red), which is also the “neckline” support for BGC's H&S pattern. Above the neckline you will notice the H&S pattern itself (blue). Confirmation of the H&S would occur if the stock broke below its $32 support. If BGC breaks that level, the stock should move lower from there.
The Tale of the Tape: BGC seems to have formed a head & shoulders pattern. Although a trader could go long at $32 expecting a bounce, the stock's pattern implies an eventual breakdown. If that happens, a short trade should be entered on a break of the $32 level.
