We have been short CRM for a while now inside 12631, and today’s weakness is notable even with the broad market lower too. The weekly chart above shows that the stock was on the cusp of breaking down from a sloppy period of consolidation that I termed the “War Box” in this post a few weeks back. Since then, there was a sharp rally up to the mid-$120’s, making life not so easy for shorts. I had been stalking it for a while, but waited until that rally up to $126 where I initiated the short. When you factor in the loose and sloppy chart pattern and the heavy selling volume over the past few months, Salesforce.com remains one of those leaders since 2009 that is still vulnerable and, at the very least, is far from offering up a quality long setup.
