The following analysis will examine the stock of the company from a chart-related, technical point of view.

Review (daily chart)

After an impressive rally throughout the entire year 2017, more recently, a little more downward pressure entered the value. After being unable to reach any new highs in the trading weeks prior, this was followed by stronger sell-offs and presumably also profit-takings by the big market participants in the stock. Currently, a mid-term downward trend has formed, which after its last downward movement is now in a correction. As soon as this correction has come to an end, an entry in the short direction would be conceivable, especially since the targets in this value are attractive and there is plenty of downwards potential.

Outlook (hourly chart)

In the hourly chart, we can see the correction that is currently underway and which has yet to develop in our preferred trading direction.

For a short entry, we should wait for the formation of a signal, e.g. in the form of a P2, and place the stop loss above the last P3 (depicted in green).

Alternatively, and with the advantage of a more favorable stop, one can also practice trading from out of the correction or the formation of a reversal bar at a significant point.

The first target is located in the area around $108.00 (see green zone in the daily chart). A continuation of the trend to form further lows is definitely possible.

If the price considerably exceeds the last significant high at $117.20, the short scenario should be abandoned for the time being (see red zone in the daily chart).
