On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $198.39. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $182.09. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.
