Security prices move in trends. This principle underlies technical analysis. Trends, however, do not last forever. As prices change direction, they tend to form recognizable patterns on the chart.

We’re right in the middle of it, folks! Capitulation, panic selling—call it what you will. The market’s been taken hostage by the financials, brokerages, mortgage companies and homebuilders.
