Nice false breakout of the inside bar pattern in line with the daily, weekly and monthly bearish trend. Entered at the close of the 4/4 candle. SL is just above the high of the false break, and and looking to take a 4:1 profit on this trade.
Confluences:
1/ with the recent formed downtrend
2/ Broke TL + retest
3/ Tested the 130.000 weekly resistance
4/ Bounced of the 50% fib.
5/ high test, followed by inside bar set up, followed by another high test
6/ 50 & 60 EMA's bounce
As I point out in the chart, MRK is in a very tight consolidation here. With the RSI holding inside of bullish territory after it's recent bounce off the 150EMA it has run into previous resistance. This resistance coincides with a sort of ascending triangle based on the higher-lows it has been making since March '14. This pattern comes to us after a long run up...
