General Electric is fast approaching a major support level defined by my model and supported by historical levels. This will be a great long term buying opportunity.

GE coming into smaller time frame support zone. Model still suggests 8.62-6.13 as major support. Updates to come as this progresses.

Reaction off of Smaller Time Frame Support. Still no signal for reversal. Watching closely.

Original forecast still in force.

Major Support has been hit. My model has defined this zone as a High Probability Reversal Area. Buys should start coming in defined zone.
GWaves - Just want to make certain that I understand your position. Are you suggesting that support is at 8.62 or at 6.13. That is a 40% difference there -- and presumes a near-term down side of at least 32%. As bad as things have been, I don't believe that fundamentals (forward p/e, book value, etc) will allow it to fall so low. Don't think even perma-bear, Tusa, could see it hitting that price. And with major market movers begin to gobble up shares last quarter, my bet is on this thing flattening out here.

@bigdmail, Great question. Its not to say that 8.62 or 6.13 specifically will hold as support. Rather, it is the range highlighted on the chart that I think will hold as support. These levels are high probability levels defined by my own proprietary model based solely off of technicals. If I were to invest in this particular stock I would begin buying as price inches closer to the support zone. As of now, I don't see any reasoning for GE to move up from current levels.
If I see a signal to buy on a smaller time frame I will be sure to update this post. But as of now, the analysis stands.

@GWaves, Please don't interpret any of my response as being hyper-critical. Certainly, from a technical side, I agree with your view. Even with the worst fundamentals, there appears to be a technical backstop to support a buy. On that, you and I are totally on the same page. I would only challenge you to balance this perspective against fundamentals. Even the most pessimistic analysts have suggested a break-up value greater than 11/share. Therefore; there is likely a higher and equally strong floor. I value the technical perspective. But; without a change in those fundamentals, this just isn't going to get that low -- regardless of what any chart pattern might indicate.

@bigdmail, Not at all, I invite criticism on all of my posts. The proprietary model I'm using is still in its infancy so any challenges thrown its way is interesting for me.
I personally don't think fundamental analysis has much strength in terms of predicting price action. Particularly since I have studied so many different forms of technical analysis. I find that fundamentals act as a catalyst to what the technicals have already drawn out. For instance, in this chart, the technicals tell me that there is a high probability for price to drop into the Major Support zone. What the catalyst will be for that move remains unclear.
With that said I can make an argument that on a smaller time frame the range of 11.56-10.17 can also act as support. However, I would not give it the same strength of support as the zone highlighted in the original chart.
