Technical Multiple Bottom: (LM), (QUAD), (RES), (S), (VHS)

These stocks, Legg Mason Inc, Quad/Graphics, Inc, RPC Inc, Sprint Nextel Corp, and Vanguard Health Systems Inc, have been showing multiple bottom patterns on April 7. Multiple tops are a reverse chart pattern where a stock is in a downard trend and hits a resistance level several times. After hitting resistance levels, the stock reverses and continues on a upward trend. As the stock is in a downtrend and hits the resistance level, the stock heads back up forming a reverse swing top. As the upward trend loses steam, the stock heads back down again to the resistance level. This forms a bottom and when this happens more than 2 or 3 times its called a multiple bottom. Investors should pay attention to the resistance levels and should maybe consider buying at these levels.
