I featured Limited (LTD) two weeks ago with a small pennant, but the stock never broke pennant support for confirmation. Even though LTD edged higher, it looks like a bearish flag is now taking shape. The stock gapped down in late October and this gap zone acts as resistance. A bearish engulfing pattern formed three days ago to affirm resistance around 19. With a feeble bounce the last two days, LTD established flag support around 17.6. A break below this level would signal a continuation lower.
