F ATH Break Weekly Options Play

NYSE:F   FORD MTR CO DEL
Description
F has chopped around in this congestion pattern, a Rectangle, for 31 days following it's ATH run-up after the break on 28OCT.

The Rectangle carries the same price implications as the Symmetrical Triangle, representing an equal balance between buyers and sellers, until one side eventually wins out and pushes the price beyond the upper or lower boundary indicating a shift in supply & demand.
This particular rectangle is confined in a very tight range, slightly broadening and displays descending volume throughout (good indication of proper congestion pattern).
Although the broadening is characteristic of the current market environment, this weakens the general technical strength of the pattern.

Using Long Calls to maintain a positive vega.
