The bear market growls on

Not!

See charts below...

Oh sure, the stock in the chart above got slammed by the bear market's ferocious end (September/October 2008), but it has since risen back to its prices prior to the decline, and then some. Wow!


I identify many items in the chart above, up-to-date through today's close of business. Yes, it is a symmetrical triangle; better (more bullish) than that, though, is the internal ascending triangle now building. Note trend line 1, and especially points a and b, which show the breakout and successful test of that breakout. And today, the stock breaks above trend line 3, at point c -- with 180% of average daily volume.

Look at the chart below, which is the same stock and carries over the trend lines from the chart above, but is basis weekly rather than daily: the set up and pattern look bullish to my eyes...



So where is the bear market...? The charts above -- and many, many more -- betray an increasingly bullish picture.
