Tonto Trade – CIT



CIT gapped up and formed a C&H at the base of the ORH. It showed a nice volume contraction on 7/15 and 8/15, and 9/15 was a very bullish bar that closed above the ORL. I entered on the break of 9/15. It immediately moved my way but it pulled back to test R1 from above. After successfully testing R1, it continued its slow move up until it exploded at 1:15pm hitting the 100% Fib extension drawn from the low to the base of the cup, where I took a partial. Volume increased at that point and it seemed like CIT had the strength to fade the daily gap to $15.00 (formed on 03/17), but I did not want to take any chances and exited when price hit R2 at $14.35. Really cool!

Nice. "hitting the 100% Fib extension drawn from the low to the base of the cup,." Would you give me those 2 prices. I don't understand. Thanks,
BL

Hi bl~

Since I trade the C&H pattern, I draw the fib extension from the low (bottom of the cup) to the base. So in that section of my description I was simply pointing to how I have drawn the fib extension.

Cheers,
