Gevo Daily Chart Analysis

• Shares look to have broken out of what technical traders would call a pennant pattern and have been pusing higher.
• The price was condensed between narrowing highs and lows before it broke above resistance. After the stock broke above resistance, it saw a period of consolidation and further bullish push.
• The stock is trading above both the 50-day moving average (green), and the 200-day moving average (blue), indicating the sentiment in the stock has been bullish.
• Each of these moving averages may hold as a possible area of support in the future.
• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been climbing higher and now sits at the 70, right at the border of the overbought range. This shows a large chunk of buyers pushed into the stock following the news.

What’s Next For Gevo?

Bulls are looking to see the stock continue to break out and move higher. They would then like to see a period of consolidation and for the stock to continue to break out on another leg higher.
Bears would like to see the stock stop moving higher and begin to cool off. When the stock cools off bears want to see it push back down to where it traded within the pennant pattern and fall below where pattern support held. This could cause a further bearish push in time.
