Men’s Wearhouse (MW) had a nice run from $27.00 to $40.00 in a six month period.

GAP REVIEW

On September 12, 2013, MW gapped from a nice uptrend off the daily.  The gap down broke the trend line of the daily chart putting long-term investors in a headlock.  The gap down had institutional selling with ten times above average daily volume.  Meaning the bigger players left the stock.
