Dear Readers, I was looking for signs of accumulation for the stock of Bank of Amercia (BAC) and decided to apply Richard Wyckoff's method of techinical analysis to the chart pattern of BAC.
BAC could possibly be at the stage where it is preparing to make the jump across the 'creek' a.k.a major resistance
OR a failure to make the jump could see it coming down to the $6 or even $5-plus region for a retest of the support.
I came to know of Wyckoff's method of technical analysis when I came across
"The Three Skills of Top Trading" by Hank Pruden whereby the Wyckoff schematics of accumulation and distribution were covered extensively by the author. Fantastic read! This book is a must read !
