Technically, the stock is on its USD 43.5 mid-level support, just below its 20-days moving average. The decline observed since mid-April is in line with the withdrawal markets on NYSE index. The current level could be an interesting entry point for an objective fixed on the USD 45.75 short-term resistance and, by extension, on its 52-weeks highest at USD 49.9.
Investors could take a buying position as soon as price will cross 20-days moving average with an objective at USD 45.75 and by extension at USD 49.2. Investments should be protected with a stop-loss at USD 40.8.
