DESCENDING TRIANGLES
Nortel Networks Still In Trouble

Going along with the communication sector, Nortel's chart shows bearish tendencies.
Position: N/A
 Figure 1: Nortel Network's weekly chart. Nortel Networks (NT) has an 8-month descending triangle with perfectly diminished volume on the creation of the pattern. As is the case with Juniper, this pattern has a bearish tendency and the sectors have a tendency to move together. Although this is not an absolute, you must consider it when several equities within the same sector are showing the same patterns. There was an impressive move off of the bottom in the 43 cent area in October 2002, that moved as high as $8.50 in February of 2004. This was not unusual since most equities rallied with the general market trend throughout this period of time. Now it has consolidated and decided to push downwards, which the lack of interest on the volume side of the equation supports. |

| The current price level of $4.00 is the prime location to short this equity. Naturally, this is trading within the pattern once again and I must emphasize that each trader should use a tight stop-loss just above the $4.00 area at $4.20. This is a 5% risk for the potential of much higher reward. Balancing the risk versus reward is a necessary part of the evaluation process. If my prognostication is correct, then this equity will drop down towards the bottom line in the $3.18 area and break this line fairly quick. |
