Most Recent Note - 3/17/2017 12:24:42 PM Y - Following volume-driven gains it is perched near the new pivot point cited based on its 1/26/17 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may clinch a convincing new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($25) and recent low ($23.80 on 2/08/17) define important near-term support where further deterioration would trigger a technical sell signal.
