To review Cree's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of CREE (Cree, Inc.) below with my added notations:
Notice the rising wedge I have outlined on the chart of CREE. A rising wedge price pattern is essentially a type of triangle formation in which the stock (CREE) has formed an up trending resistance line (red) and an up-trending support level (blue). These two trend lines converging on one another combine to form a rising wedge, which is a terminal pattern.
Confirmation of this pattern would occur if the stock broke the uptrending support. Any break out of the bottom of this wedge would also coincide with a break of the short-term support at $60.
The Tale of the Tape: CREE has created a rising wedge pattern, which should lead to a break lower. A short trade could be entered on a break out of the bottom of the wedge, which should be on a move below the $60 level. If a trader believes the stock has higher prices in it's future, a long play could be made near $60 with a stop placed below that level.
