Frank Kollar sees a double bottom and reversal now in place for the hard-hit stock.

Shares of Ford Motor (F) have jumped over 10% in the last three weeks, and appear ready to move higher still.

Ford has only just begun to recover from a long-term decline that knocked share prices down from $19 a share to $9 a share. Shares have put in a double bottom on the weekly chart, with lows at $9.05 on Oct 2, 2011, and again at July 29 at $9.09.

Ford will hit its first test of resistance at $10.92. This is the 50% retracement of the entire 2012 decline. If Ford can surpass this level, look for a run-up to $11.42, the 61.8% retracement level.

A close above $11.42 would be a huge breakout for the stock, and point shares back towards their 2011 highs.
