Step four of Oliver Kell's Cycle of Price Action: the Base n' Break.

Reward the trade that works.
Step two of Oliver Kell's Cycle of Price Action: the Wedge Pop.
After the Reversal Extension, price tightens up while the 10 and 20 EMA flatten and pinch together. The stock is often holding up better than the index. When price recaptures the tight EMAs, that's the entry, with a stop below the recent consolidation.
