The stock lies in the lower part of a strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $271.08 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 13.83% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $308.56 and $332.16 at the end of this 3-month period.
