Great charts, as always.
My daily point of view:
View attachment 2081
The current daily range can be viewed as a possible bear flag in formation. The direction of the
break and volume will be the best indication of implications of this consolidation, though
upside will be walking straight into resistance.
I'm still tracking the Nasdaq as a major indicator unless we diverge or get BRN specific news.
Everyone seemed to get very excited about the strong bounce at the end of last week, but
I see this as nothing more than a Textbook retest of the H&S neckline and weekly 5-SMA.
These levels need to be cleared before I will be inclined to confidence.
If BRN does see another meaningful leg down, I think I will be forced to average up (calculatedly).

Don't usually look at this stuff but came across this Excellent video today from some Sotckcharts.com analysts for those interested in Whykoff's methodology:
Overall idea seems very similar to my perspective with some more bull side possibility analysis as well towards the end that
is very well presented and balanced IMHO.

The Flag has broken to the downside today (in line with its intrinsic indication). It is worth noting the relative weakness in BRN in this last consolidation which remained within a horizontal holding pattern when the XIJ took part in the market-wide bounce. These types of price behaviors are helpful in adding odds (for that is all they ever are) to breakout directions.
It looks like the market is becoming impatient with the lack of further updates, but if it were not for market impatience some of the best opportunities I have ever had would not have come to fruition.
The Nasdaq charts in my last few posts are behaving most typically of indecision at textbook levels and still need resolution. Swing Traders of BRN need to be very careful here IMHO.
From my technically managed investment perspective, I have the price clear in my head at which I am willing to look to average up. It may not get there, but having a plan is more important to me than if it eventuates at all or if it succeeds.
If you are a real long-term fundamental purist investor, then you need to ask yourself why you are reading this.
I truly hope this is helpful to some aspiring traders, but a large part of why I post is to solidify my thoughts and have a record of them, so
that I may be taken to task on them, by myself and others who may point out something I did not (or did not want) to see.
