ZNGA Technical Analysis
After the announcement that Take-Two TTWO was acquiring Zynga Inc. ZNGA the stock gapped up with heavy trading volume by over 40%! Meanwhile TTWO suffers in PPS with a massive sell off.
ZNGA is shockingly consolidating after the massive run with a slight pullback. This is a good sign. Therefore, I would like to see it break $8.70 then $8.76 before I would take a position because normally there will be a massive sell off after a huge gap up like this.
