Yes, I am but what you are describing isn't a channel. A channel is a pair of parallel lines horizontal, ascending or descending. What you are describing is two independant trend lines both ascending but at different slopes. It is sort of like the reverse of a flag (spreading rather than converging) but tilted with both ascending. A channel wouldn't get resistance over $2.00. These are two independant patterns but not a channel tegether. Looking at the price action and the coming news, good or bad, I would put more stock in the flag that is lined right up to this week to break out or break down.
