The stock lies in the upper part of a narrow 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 $24.94 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 2.75% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $24.89 and $25.62 at the end of this 3-month period.
