After a big post-earnings move on Thursday, BlackBerry Ltd BBRY stock was up another 5.5 percent Friday. The stock&rsquo;s 21 percent three-day surge has gotten technical traders&rsquo; attention, and BlackBerry&rsquo;s upward momentum may have some very important technical levels in play in coming days. 
	 
	BlackBerry stock reacted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/17/09/10114528/blackberry-sharply-higher-after-q2-beat">very positively</a> to a surprise quarterly profit, and the company said it&#39;s working on an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/17/09/10086474/blackberry-teams-up-with-delphi-for-qnx-operating-syste">autonomous vehicle</a> software deal that could potentially close by the end of 2017. In addition, the company provided positive guidance, projecting double-digit billings growth in mobile device management for the remainder of the fiscal year. 
	 
	Technical traders see the tremendous volume behind BlackBerry&rsquo;s two-day move as evidence there is some major backing behind this rally. 
	 
	BlackBerry battled with the $11 level on Friday, but traders may instead be watching for resistance at the stock&rsquo;s 52-week high of $11.74. A breakout above $11.74 would be yet another indication that BlackBerry&rsquo;s 2017 rally is for real. 
	 
	Above $11.74, the next resistance level may be $12.63, where it peaked in early 2015, or $18.32, its 2013 high. 
	 
	BlackBerry shares have been drifting mostly sideways since the stock bottomed at $6.56 in 2012. The bottom marked the end of one of the most dramatic sell-offs in recent Wall Street history, a more than 90 percent decline over a roughly five-year stretch as BlackBerry&rsquo;s legacy smartphone business fell victim to the Apple, Inc. AAPL iPhone.

	BlackBerry bulls are hoping the stock&rsquo;s 59 percent year-to-date gain is a sign the next BlackBery bull market has begun. If the stock fails to break above $11.74, traders may soon be looking at $8.47 or even $6 as potential support as BlackBerry continues to tread water in the long term.
