On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $174.07 and $172.44. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, January 27, 2022, and so far it has risen 10.71%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
