During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.95% from a day low at $72.84 to a day high of $73.54. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 2.88% over the past 2 weeks.

In total, 841 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $61.59 million.
The stock lies the upper part of a wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $74.38 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -7.02% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $62.02 and $69.16 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
