COST WCA - Awaiting a Breakout from SymmetryCompany: Costco Wholesale Corporation
Ticker: COST
Exchange: NASDAQ
Sector: Consumer Defensive
Introduction:
Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read my analysis. Today, we delve into the weekly chart of Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) which has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern for the past 12.88 months. This pattern is typically a sign of market indecision, and we're anticipating a breakout soon.
Symmetrical Triangle Pattern:
A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern in technical analysis used by traders to predict future price movements. It is formed when the price of an asset consolidates between converging trendlines that slope towards each other, creating a triangular shape. The pattern is characterized by lower highs and higher lows, indicating a tightening price range as the market reaches a point of equilibrium between buying and selling pressure. In this case, we have 5 clear touch points on the upper trendline and 3 on the lower trendline.
Analysis:
Costco's price is currently above the 200 EMA, and given the clear uptrend preceding the triangle, we are inclined to see this symmetrical triangle as a bullish continuation pattern. However, the inherent indecision signaled by the symmetrical triangle means we should hold off on calculating a price target until a definite breakout occurs.
Moreover, a breakout must occur soon, as the closer we get to the triangle's apex, the weaker the effect of the breakout. This makes COST a high-priority watchlist candidate that should produce a result soon, regardless of the direction it takes.
Conclusion:
The Costco Wholesale Corporation weekly chart analysis points towards a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating market indecision and a potential breakout soon. Traders should closely monitor this chart for signs of a breakout.

$COST 1 Year Wedging PatternNASDAQ:COST Just had an earnings miss... not a bad reaction so far. This has been wedging for about a year now. Also known as a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP). I would guess it has to break either way soon. Ideas, not investing / trading advice.

Symmetrical TriangleThis could also be called a large Descending Triangle.
Top line is a descending or a diagonal resistance line indicating lower highs with each swing up. This line must be broken to reach higher targets. T1 is in larger green type than T2.
Both patterns are neutral until broken.
Price is trying to bust through the .236 today of the trend up.

Costco Faces a Potential Make-or-Break MomentCostco has been a steady performer for years, but now the warehouse retailer may be showing signs of exhaustion.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the falling trendline that began last April and the rising trendline from last May. The convergence of the two has produced a triangle, with prices currently nearing the end of the formation. Does this show buyers steadily losing interest?
Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) slipped below the 200-day SMA in October and has remained there since. It’s different from the rest of the market, suggesting that the longer-term trend may have weakened.
Third, notice how prices tried to move above the 200-day SMA and failed after COST reported lower same-store sales on April 6. The shares have also struggled at the 50-day SMA.
Finally, relative strength versus the S&P 500 has been mostly negative since the broader market started climbing in October. This may indicate COST -- with its relatively high valuation -- is losing favor as investors shift to new stocks.

Buying Costco at a discount. COSTTriangle/Three drives within an upgoing zigzag. We more often now base stop loss off a moving ATR, as testing had shown this to be a more effective strategy than mere price levels alone. Yet, ATR is not always an option.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Bullish pattern ?COST shows a bullish pattern
A double bottom structure is also seen on the 1-hour chart, and the 250 SMA position is a test for the index (around 495), where day traders can take profit and wait for opportunities.
Swing traders can stop the profit taking part and add to their positions depending on the strength of the pullback. The target position could be around the previous high of 528. Stop loss will be around the previous low of 466.
COST: Doubling Down on PutsFound more opportunity to buy puts on COST today as the price started edging closer to the 20 SMA. Still expecting a flush in equities in the coming weeks, so looking at 450 as my price target and an eventual breakthrough to the downside of the descending triangle.
