After a stunning 3,600% rally since November 2008, shares of Wyndham Worldwide are primed for a major correction.

Security: WYN
Position: N/A

Every once in a while, a near-ideal set of stock market dynamics coalesce around a specific stock, with the result being an epic, multiyear rally of stupendous proportions. That appears to be the case with shares of Wyndham Worldwide Corp. (WYN) as it soared from a bargain-basement valuation of $2.55 per share to $94.35 in the span of 6 1/2 years. That's a 3,600% increase, not something witnessed in the large-cap survivors of the incredible crash of late 2007 to early 2008. All major rallies end at some point, and the stage now appears to be set for WYN to move down to at least the lower $70.00 range before it meets up with a major demand zone (a price zone associated with previously heavy buy/sell volumes); here's a closer look.

Figure 1. Monthly Chart Of Wyndham Worldwide Corp. (WYN). WYN experienced a noticeable loss of upside momentum as the fourth swing on the chart failed to reach the uppermost Keltner band.

A simple yet effective way to use Keltner bands on a long term (weekly or monthly) trending stock is to take note of the location of each successive swing high (or swing low in downtrends) in relation to an extreme Keltner band. Doing so can be used to help ascertain:

1. Loss of upside/downside momentum
2. A way to confirm an anticipated major cycle high or low

On WYN's monthly chart in Figure 1 note the four successive major swing/cycles highs; the first three peaked and reversed at or near the uppermost band, but the fourth and final one saw WYN peak and reverse well below the top band — and right within the forecasted time window for the stock to make a major high, no less. And so far, this does appear to be the start of a potentially major correction:

A. WYN now has a 70% chance of making its next 24-week cycle low by August 7, 2015 — and a 30% probability of bottoming even later.
B. Even the mid-cycle forecast does not anticipate WYN bottoming until the final week of June 2015.
C. Strong buying demand is not anticipated until WYN drops within the range of 70.00-73.00; there is also a major demand zone in the lower $60.00 range.
D. WYN's weekly chart (not shown) reveals extreme distribution patterns (market insiders and big institutions selling their shares to latecomer retail investors). This is a potent predictive market dynamic that almost always precedes a big selloff in a given stock.
E. WYN's daily chart in Figure 2 shows us an Elliott wave ABC corrective pattern already underway; the nominal wave (A) price target is near $78.00 at a minimum.

Taken as a whole, this technical mix is suggesting that there is plenty more downside left in WYNs developing correction. Until either of the previously mentioned demand zones are reached, WYN is not a viable candidate for new long entries; existing longs should consider selling and going to cash, as well, unless they are absolutely convinced of much higher prices to come in the second half of 2015.

Speculative bears might consider the purchase of slightly in-the-money put options with four to six months of time value until expiration; this can allow for significant staying power should there be a modest bounce here before the next wave of selling begins. Keep your account risk on the trade at 2% or less and trade wisely until we meet here again.
