This section contains examples of stocks that peaked on a Wide Range Price Stall (WRPS) distribution signal.

There are four (4) common Wide Range Price Stall topping scenarios:

1.  Stalling tops just out of a base

Stocks topping on a stalling price bar shortly after breaking out.

Historical Stock Chart Example:  China Petro & Chemical (SNP) 2007

Please keep in mind that some tops can be placed into more than one category.

For example, a stock may top on a stalling bar shortly after breaking out AND also fail a retest of the stalling bar on an attempted rally.

At times, the WRPS may just be a warning sign (not a top) that needs to be watched in the future.
