Broadening Wedge Bottom Fishing

NASDAQ:BOOM   DMC Global Inc.
The ascending broadening wedge pattern hit the target to the downside so correction may be complete. There is also a harmonic pattern that hit the 1.272 and that would be D if, in fact, I placed X at the correct level. I see confluence at this level because it hit bottom at the target I set for the broadening wedge pattern. But placing X for a harmonic pattern can be very subjective, so you may see X elsewhere which changes the fib levels.

I bought BOOM earlier this year and traded the cup and handle pattern. I have kept an eye on it since I sold it. Very glad I sold it when I did as that would be a long fall down.

I noticed most folks are very bearish on BOOM. Sometimes I like to buy when lots are bearish, but not always. You know how you can follow a security but you have no idea why? LOL
Boom tends to move with oil and gas.

Broadening patterns belongs to the family of wedge patterns and can break up or down like a triangle can. It is not necessarily bearish like a rising wedge often is, in this case it broke to the downside in the end but did briefly break to the upside. The direction of the breakout is random. Very often these patterns have partial rises and partial declines that are followed by a breakout. When price rises from the lower trendline and fails to make the upper trendline it is likely to breakout lower. When price falls from the upper trendline and fails to make the lower trendline then the breakout is likely to be upwards.

The breakout occurs when price closes on the outside of the pattern, above the upper trendline or below the lower trendline. Trade in the direction of the breakout.
The target is the highest high in the pattern minus the lowest low in the pattern.
