On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $749.50. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $538.01. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development.
