Alcoa (AA) - Testing mid-term support. 2012.05.18


The price of Alcoa shares reached the main long term support of $8.48 which was tested twice in the past 9 months.

The Elliott Wave analysis of the previous bear market (since April 2011) indicated a corrective wave that probably started in late December 2011. As it looks in present, the corrective wave could develop into an expanding flat pattern. This means that the current swing down should reverse somewhere below the active support ($8.48) and should rally towards the February local high, in the $10.80 area.

The increase in volumes in the past few days could symbolize the beginning of an accumulation.
