Linear regression over 270 days

Doing a linear regression over the past 270 days produces this nice trend channel.

Looking at the pattern in this channel in October 2014, I feel we may see similar behavior. We have a break from the middle regression line and then we form a wedgie/triangle shape which breaks down and bounces on top of the regression line. The current wedge shape is pinching and the MACD signal line seems to be flattening out ready to cross downward. From the crossover forwards I foresee downward movement until we hit resistance at 165, however there are some "psychological supports" to grind on before getting there (like $200).

*edit 26th of Feb* If I were stronger willed I would've held my position (sold ~232) but I bought back in at ~250. I'm curious to see if there's enough will to break out of the channel, it might be time to sell again if it does. Probably just under 270, if I hit that sell I'll at least be playing a zero sum game again :| -- again as I keep looking, if we get past 264 we might be starting a new longer term trend upwards. So many possibilities.
