On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $327.69 and $330.56. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, August 18, 2023, and so far it has risen 5.39%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.
