Prior to the announcement, it had put in a place a series of seven lows within a fairly narrow range from $10.06-$10.26. On Wednesday, it was creeping higher throughout the session and caught added boost when the deal was announced.

The ensuing rally took the issue to $10.80 before backing off to settle at $10.51. After a modestly higher open (Wednesday's close of $10.51 vs. Thursday's open of $10.59), the rally continued through $10.80, reaching $10.95 so far in today's session.

If the rally continues, there may be some resistance at its January 22 high ($11.11). It has not closed over $11.00 since January 14, when it ended the session at $12.60.

That was the same day rumors surfaced of a possible buyout by Samsung. Once those report were refuted, it fell $2.50 the following session and labored at the $10.00 level over the next month.
