Royal Bank of Canada Looks Toppy and Dangerous
Canadian banks are known to be much more conservative than their U.S. peers. For instance, due to better lending practices, the country barely felt the 2007-2009 housing crisis.

Visa ‘s Diagonal Pattern Can Mean a Top is Forming
Visa has been a wonder to behold almost since it went public at $17.25 in March 2008.

Rapid7 Doubles As Elliott Wave Setup Bears Fruit
We first wrote about Rapid7 in late-August 2019. The stock was hovering above $55.50, but the structure of the post-2016 uptrend suggested a notable decline was in progress.
