Indicators argue for a technical correction after the last bullish movement recorded in last sessions.
From a fundamental viewpoint, analysts have recently downgraded their EPS expectations for 2014 and 2015. This situation could lead to some profit taking from investors.
After a substantial upturn, the stock now approaches the resistance at USD 52.6, fact that could inverse the tendency. In addition, a high RSI indicator should entice a marked fall close to the short term USD 47.9 support. Moreover, prices are currently taking a double top pattern which could accentuate the coming drop.
The graphical configuration argues for opening a short position at the current price. The end of the technical rebound, the consolidation phase and an overbought situation: Cedar Fair has all the characteristics for short selling. The first objective will be fixed near the USD 47.9 short term support. This strategy should be protected by a stop loss above USD 52.6.
