You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

The stock lies in the upper part of a wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $216.76 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 3.09% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $200.79 and $223.47 at the end of this 3-month period.
