When a stock that you are tracking reaches a buy-point, but then falls 7% or higher below its original entry price after clearing the point, it is considered to be a failed basis. Wait for the stock's breakout and new entry price to form. Understand that the latest consolidation is an older base and these bases are more likely to fail.
