Shares of the ETF Oil Service HOLDRs Trust (NYSE: OIH) are approaching a key resistance level.
Since the early October 2011 lows that briefly took OIH below $100 a share, prices rallied in a single wave closing at $134.76 on October 28, 2011. After a well-defined three wave correction ending on December 19 at $108, OIH has been in a steady advance.
Ahead is the October 28 closing high at $134.76 which is resistance. If OIH can make a solid close above this level, we could be in a new wave three of a bullish five wave pattern, with the October 28 high being wave one and the December 19 low being wave two.
This would forecast a run to the prior highs over $160 a share. The $134.76 level is looking to be extremely important.
