Weekly Chart

Looking at the stock from a structural perspective, a big consolidation above the 2007 highs can still be witnessed.” With an upward sloping 200 week moving average, the benefit of the doubt continues to go to the bulls, especially with momentum in a bullish range,” Parets explains.

However, the expert says he is worried about seeing relative strength breaking multi-year support, adding he doesn’t want to be long anywhere below the downtrend line from 2013 and former resistance/support since the 2007 highs.

“If we break this key support the next target is down towards 41 based on former support and 61.8% Fibonacci extension from the 2013 rally,” he explains.

By mode of conclusion, Parets assures he would still be a seller above $51 (the resistance in the past 2 years).

Daily Chart

Shorter-term, Parets recommends approaching this neutrally, as the 200 day moving average remains flat. However, “longs last month off that key support have worked well,” he explicates.

“With momentum hitting oversold conditions confirming a new bearish ranges, we said that profits should be taken quickly back near 49,” the expert adds. “These flat 200 day moving averages increase the likelihood of whipsaws which is precisely what has occurred the past few months.”

Overall, this looks like a “messy situation,” Parets states, “and as nice of a trade as that was, we've suggested taking profits quickly and still feel that way.”
