LPL Financial (O:LPLA) is the largest organization of financial advisors in the United States. They make a living out of helping people invest their money. Now you can make some money off of their success. By trading their stock.
The chart below shows how the stock has floundered since November if you are long term holder. But if you are looking for a trading opportunity, the stock has some interesting things going on right now. It has made a series of lower lows, normally a downtrend, since the start of the year. But it has also made higher highs. Kind or an expanding wedge or megaphone.
Currently it is sitting at the mid line of the wedge. It broke above Tuesday and is now retesting the break out. This is what gives the trading opportunity. A failure and push back lower can be traded from the short side, with a stop at the high from Tuesday looking for a retrace to the bottom of the wedge. A hold at the mid line and move higher can be traded with a stop at the mid line for a move to the top of the wedge, around 50. Momentum suggests the upside is where to focus your look.
