Specifically:

  • Congestion/ Consolidation zone between $85-$108 formed over last 2 months.

  • Thursday’s breakout (up 7.7%) carrying above the threshold. Volume backed the move.

  • Momentum and Trend indicators are supporting the breakout.

  • What Are The Risks? A slip back into the congestion zone remains a possibility given how nascent the breakout is. Protect long positions with a $99 stop.
