Right Side Curl with Reaccumulation

Description
After rallying up the right side of its base, price begins to correct (curl), but finds support when it reaches a former price range that featured heavy accumulation.
Behavior Notes:
- During the curl phase, price may find support at a thrusting price bar that's located near the right-hand side of the base. This price action is identical to the Retracement to Prior Demand Week (PDW) behavior discussed earlier except that it occurs on the right-hand side of the base.
- As price corrects or curls, it must undercut the prior week's low before confirming reaccumulation. This shows that price is getting support as it's falling deeper into a Prior Demand Week (PDW).
- Support during the curl phase may also coincide with an important moving average such as the 40 Week Moving Average (MA).
- A move out of the base may occur when price trades above the high of the reaccumulation week AND makes a higher low before price makes a new low.
