On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $37.36 and $36.94. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Thursday, July 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -4.90%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).
