If you look at the DJIA prior to the recent break, there was a descending
triangle that started with a low or base forming in June followed by the high
in early August.  When the DJIA broke through the base line around 7600 it
counted to 6900-7000, which is about where it reversed.  In a discussion prior
to the break I stated this was a possibility...a low of 6900-7000...then a
subsequent rally to possibly new highs in early 1998.  Do not get me
wrong....I am not bragging.  I am only saying that chart patterns are a
reasonable guide to market and/or stock action.  What one must keep in mind is
to interpret the pattern only after it forms and then to interpret what you
see and not what you want.
