Sunday, August 26, 2007Base & Break - Biogen Idec Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:BIIB)
 The first chart is the daily timeframe. We see that BIIB has been basing at the $60.00 level for a long time. Thursday's NRB (green) was the perfect setup leading into Friday's break. As mentioned in my pre-market post this was one to watch. If you watched too long though, it ran away, so decisive action was required in the early going.
I used the 1 minute chart for my entry. After the OR, BIIB carved out a series of higher lows and I quickly picked a WR green bar as my base because the open was a bit choppy. I used a buy stop order and set my stop just below the lower blue line.
 The next chart is the expanded view of the 1 minute timeframe, which shows how quickly price took flight once the initial choppiness was out of the way.
 The last chart is the 15 minute timeframe. After a vertical move and three WRBs, I took a partial and tightened my stop a few pennies below the third WRB.
B&B patterns at pivot point resistance often result in vertical moves. In general, the longer the basing period, the better the BO. If you're not comfortable trading the open, you can try paper trading these at first or just entering with very small size until you develop a good feel for the pattern and the BO.

Saturday, August 25, 2007NASDAQ Technical Picture - Trendline Breach - Bullish Bias Intact
The fear factor as measured by the VXN is clearly well off of last Thursday's multi-year high and the bulls are temporarily back in control with a trendline breach. We are back in the overbought zone and month-end is just a heart beat away. A pullback in the early part of next week would help alleviate the extended short term technicals and allow a bit of room ahead of the end/start of the month positive bias. Don't want to get ahead of myself but the Fed move last Friday certainly has had a big impact in dissipating the fear factor. We've had very little in the way of pullbacks all week and the weekly chart looks like a bear trap.
