To review Baker's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of BHI (Baker Hughes Incorporated) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of BHI (Baker Hughes Incorporated) Notice the rising wedge I have outlined on the chart of BHI. A rising wedge price pattern is essentially a type of triangle formation in which the stock (BHI) has formed an up trending resistance line (red) and an up-trending support level (green). These two trend lines converging on one another combine to form a rising wedge, which is usually a terminal pattern. Confirmation of this pattern would occur if the stock broke the up-trending support.

The Tale of the Tape: BHI 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 currently sits near $47.50. If a trader believes the stock has higher prices in it's future, a long play could be made at that support with a stop placed below that level.
