Volume fell on the last day by -17 thousand shares and in total, 96 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $15.30 million. 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 has broken the wide and weak rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at $152.21, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $167.32 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $154.03 and $145.35. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals.
