Increasing Volatility Within Base
Note: The historical stock examples given below are for EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY. They ARE NOT to be used to make buy/sell decisions in today's market. For more information, please read the HSR Terms of Use.
Description
After an advance, price begins to base/consolidate, but it does so in a wild manner.
What you need to know
Unless the market is volatile and erratic, it's not normal for a stock to show wild swings within its basing structure.
In a healthy base within a non-volatile market, volatility may contract as trading quiets down.
You'll often see wild swings within a base after a stock has already made a large move higher, which is a warning sign to respect.
