G - Gapped up today hitting yet another new all-time high with today's 4th consecutive gain, getting very extended from any sound base. Due to report Jun '20 quarterly results today after the market close. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Prior high in the $68 area defines support to watch coinciding with its 50 DMA line ($67.63) where any losses leading to violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
