Williams Sonoma Inc. (WSM) began forming a bearish ascending wedge pattern at the end of July 2010. The pattern was triggered by a gap-down below the lower boundary line on November 18th, with added confirmation via a surge in volume. Adding to the bearish tone was a recent break of the long term uptrend line, on January 13th, also accompanied by heavy volume. The price objective is back to the lows of the pattern, which is $24.50.
