Cisco Systems (CSCO) has been unable to maintain a consistent trend for 2012. This sloppy action has confused a lot of traders and investors. This gap review will give us some key areas to focus on for further price direction.

LOOKING BACK
On May 10, 2012, CSCO had a bearish gap down under key support at $17.25. Price action drifted lower from the gap finding some buyers around $15.00. On August 16, 2012 CSCO gapped up into the “open window” from the previous gap down. CSCO has held this gap up in the $18.00 area well in the face of the market pullback.
