Abbot Labs

I am watching Abbot Labs for a possible trade.

Abbot Labs, refer to the monthly chart, figure 4 in file “ABT” at my group http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Hawaiian_Trade_Wins/settings?mode=1 . Here we see a possible head and shoulders pattern. Notice the MACD has moved lower in bear waves as price action was forming the three tops. More importantly, during the most recent rally, the fast line (green line) has remained below the signal line (white line).

In figure 5 we can again see the bear waves on the MACD. However, the fast line is still moving higher, this tells us that momentum for this stock remains up. Before entering this trade, I will need to see two things take place: first the general market will have to reverse and second, I will need to see some evidence that the upward momentum for Abbot Labs stock has reversed.
