A lesson on momentum and reversal pivots

Chris Schumacher ...

The right side of the head-and-shoulders pattern is still forming on the daily chart. This typically leads to a coil within a base so that when support fails, it fails hard. This is what I was hoping to avoid in the first quarter. There have been enough entry points available to bulls who wanted to go long from 1635 and 1650 that I was hoping the bulls could create momentum at highs rather than from lows. When momentum comes from lows, it exhausts itself just to get back to resistance.
