No resistance remains while challenging its 52-week and all-time high with today's considerable volume-driven gain. A strong finish above the pivot point with at least +40% above average volume may clinch a technical buy signal. Reported earnings +34% on +10% sales revenues for the Sep '15 quarter, its 3rd consecutive earnings comparison (C criteria) above the +25% minimum guideline.

ATHN - NASDAQ - DIVERSIFIED SERVICES - Business/Management Services Athenahealth Inc	$150.47	+0.73 0.49%	$151.15	$163.79	-8.13%	341,405 92.02%	371,000
Most Recent Note for ATHN - 10/27/2015 12:21:01 PM Pulled back abruptly after a considerable gap up and new 52-week high.

Reported +33% earnings on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended Sep 30, 2015 versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly earnings growth has been erratic, not strong and steady enough to meet the guidelines for the C criteria of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been good, but consensus estimates are calling for -7% lower earnings for FY '15."
