Most Recent Note - 4/23/2018 1:17:19 PM Y - Recent gains lacked great volume conviction as it wedged up above the new pivot point cited based on its 2/28/18 high plus 10 cents. Gains above a stock's pivot point must have more than +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $569 level. The 50 DMA line defines near-term support to watch above the recent lows ($480). >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 4/20/2018. Click here.
