Description

Price breaks hard off a high AND "takes away" multiple weeks' worth of gains in only one week or retraces multiple weeks' worth of gains before finding support.

Behavior Notes

1.  Bearish Takeaway Weeks usually occur above the 10 Week MA and must not exceed the high of the prior week.

2.  Price will sometimes close below the 10 Week MA, which adds to the bearishness of the signal.
