Other than a dip lower to start the morning yesterday, the stock has held up just fine in lieu of the negative news it has recieved this week. However, over the last three months the stock seems to be forming an ending diagonal (or wedge) pattern.

Patterns of this nature are bearish in the implications. Confirmation of the pattern is needed though, and that confirmation would come in the form of a break of the pattern's uptrending support line.
