Ross Stores (ROST) is a relatively strong stock in a rising uptrend that is facing a key challenge – and trading opportunity – right now.

Generally Rising Wedges are bearish (short-term reversal) price patterns that advocate caution (and profit taking).

The compressing trendines currently overlap the $58.00 and $59.50 per share levels as highlighted.

Price has been bouncing between these two levels since late 2015 and continue to do so today.

Like a sideways range, a Bearish Rising Wedge is a compression pattern ahead of a likely range expansion or breakout event.

Look for a downside break under $57.50 per share to trigger an aggressive short-sell (liquidation) opportunity down toward lower price levels such as $55.00 and ultimately $52.00 per share.

The alternate thesis – and “pattern interrupt” – would be a continuation higher within these compressing boundaries.

A straight-up price breakout is less-likely given the negative divergences undercutting price.

Focus on the trendline levels and possible ‘sell-swing’ opportunity suggested by the pattern.
