Griffon (Friday’s close US$27.88) declined from US$27.15 in January, 2017 (not shown) to US$17.65 in August of the same year (A) and then built a large bullish base in the form of a “W” pattern (dashed lines).

The stock encountered resistance at the neckline of this pattern near US$25 for three years (dotted line). The rise above the neckline signaled a breakout from this formation and the start of a new major up-trend toward higher targets (B).

The stock has since pulled back and found support near US$22 (C) and now appears to be resuming the up-trend. There is good support near US$24-US$25; only a sustained decline below this level would be negative.

Point & Figure measurements provide an initial target of US$33. The large “W” pattern (dashed lines) supports higher targets.
