The above chart reflected important resistance was at hand.  Despite the 6% plus rally over the past few days, the Dow remains over 1,000 points lower than when the chart was produced.  I doubt that the chart above woke up many bears, yet I did hope the “Power of the Pattern”  would wake up some of the bulls and give them a quality reason to harvest gains and lower some risk exposure.
