Please take a look at the 1-year chart of Oracle below with added notations:
Oracle’s chart is one of the easiest breakdowns highlighted in the Five Star Stock Watch series recently.
The uptrending channel that Oracle is in makes the trading decisions somewhat easy, as long as one is patient.
Buy on a pullback to the channel support. Short the stock on a break out of that channel. That’s it.
The stock closed yesterday at 41.21.
