US30 has spent six weeks compressing between the descending resistance off the 5 August high and the rising support that's been in place since late July. Price is now deep into that contraction, and the way the last leg down resolved is what makes this interesting. Instead of breaking the rising trendline, the market carved out a small inverse head and shoulders right on top of it: left shoulder around 52,150, the head at 51,950 where support was tested and rejected on 10 September, and a higher right shoulder near 52,300.
