Axon Enterprise Inc (AXON -$4.27 or -1.58% to $266.71) had a "negative reversal" after reaching a new all-time high today following 7 consecutive gains. Prior highs in the $260-262 area define initial suport above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($251.23).
AXON was highlighted in yellow in the 11/08/23 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 10/17/23 high after a cup-with-handle base. It hit a new all-time high and finished near the session high triggering a technical buy signal.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 978 in Mar '23 to 1,419 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. AXON has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B.
