Quick question.
Would you trade this VCP pattern in the making? Yes/No? And, why?
To all those who are saying No because the current market ain't right for upside breakout trades, please look at the timeline of the picture. It is from 2016/17 when almost every stock exploded.
The majority answered Yes but for me, it's a NO. I'd pass this 2T VCP/CnH because even though the 2nd U shape is smaller in size by 70% but this U formed at a huge distance away from the 50 DMA line a.k.a EXTENDED.
1/n
The odds of profiting from the get-go are much better when breakouts happen 'closer' to 50dma.
As you can see in the picture, the price stayed sideways until the line caught-up with the price. Had you traded this breakout, you would have sat on a dead trade for 5-6 weeks

After covering the distance, when that same bloody formation was spotted, look at the result yourself. This is an eye-opener for everyone who said YES and for everyone who said no for a different reason.
