3. LG Electronics Resistance Rejection
Lg Electronics (066570 KS) is seeing a rejection from 74.5k resistance that acts as an important intermediate if not macro inflection level. Weakness below 74k implies a test on lower pattern support.
Daily MACD rising wedge accompanied by a flat or triangle corrective range, typically is a bear set-up for a break lower. Making the 74k level pivotal and a short level with a stop above 75k. Very often indicators gyrating higher to relieve oversold conditions with a failure for price to make headway labels the sideways range as corrective in a stair case sequence.
Shorts need to focus on the 75k pivot as the stop and risk level. Longer term investors will need to remeasure lower entry points barring a break above pivot resistance which would initiate upside bull targets.
