The stock has broken the horizontal trend up. Breaks like this are often followed by swift and strong movements, and any correction down to the breakline at approximately. $81.90 is considered to be a "second chance" to hit a potential runner.

Based on the rectangle-formation theory the stock is predicted to reach $87.64 sometime during the next 3 months.
