There's a saying "don't catch a falling knife". I would heed this warning, but also look at the fact that this falling knife is about to take a stab into a multi-year support area between 54 and 55. BBBY Weekly Chart 9/21 (click to enlarge)If price gets into the 54.00-56 area, and shows some kind of bullish divergence with the weekly chart, we should consider a buy and hold strategy in the medium-term. (Hold for a year or so). Now, I am going to get ahead of myself just a bit here. Since the prevailing trend entering 2012, before the sideways action, was bullish, There might actually be upside beyond the highs around 80.00. Taking a step back, we should also consider the possibility that the upside is no longer viable, not even to 80. If the market is going to form a multi-year price top, we need to limit any bullish outlook to the 70-72 area, or even lower, near the central pivot around 68. Another thing to consider is that the market CAN clear 54.00 before resuming the long-term uptrend. The monthly chart shows a bullish market, at least since 2009. I would at first anchor in small positions with wide stops. Then, if the market starts piling up evidence of a bullish reversal around 55, then we can add more positions, and start to treat this area as support. For now, don't over depend on 54-55 for support. BBBY Monthly Chart 9/21(click to enlarge)
