Consolidation

Consolidation describes a chart pattern where a stock price moves a lot less than expected.

Our software uses an algorithm based on the Black-Scholes model, and recent volatility for a stock to determine the amount that you would expect each stock to move over time.  We then examine various time frames and report an alert if the stock moved significantly less than expected.
