During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.61% from a day low at $2.49 to a day high of $2.53. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.64% for this period. Volume fell on the last day by -11 million shares and in total, 9 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $22.44 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 lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $2.47 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 29.56% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $3.20 and $3.60 at the end of this 3-month period.
