5 Day Technical Analysis:

There are a lot of traders at $9.05, so if this stock can beat $9.05 tomorrow, I like it. If not, and I’m thinking it won’t, stay away. Caveat, the news is really good, so I hold out hope, but I don’t like the huge 70% gap up. Happy trading and always play it safe with trailing stops!
