Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) rallied strongly from 2005 until 2007, gaining over 100% in the short time frame. In 2007, it created a reversal pattern (bearish wick) at (1), which ended up being an important high. After that reversal pattern, Google and the S&P 500 were both cut in half.
Google's strong move higher last week -- following its earnings report -- pushed it to a long-term resistance line and a Fibonacci 161% extension level at (2). As it was hitting the dual resistance, it created a reversal pattern (bearish wick) similar to what it did back in 2007.
