Well I called this wrong. I thought AWR was going to see a double bottom but what is happening is that a Descending Triangle pattern is happening.

The volume is dropping off the the Stochastics is looking to turn.

It looks like we are going to see a move back to $74.00.

I am thinking of taking a profit here.
