Relative Strength rating has slumped to 82, but remains above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Needs a rebound above the 50 DMA line for its outlook to improve, and it also faces resistance due to overhead supply up through the $82 level. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. >>> The latest Featured Stock Update with an annotated graph appeared on 1/12/2015.
