During the last week of October, the stock moved up, crossing all four moving average indicators, when the last one was at $5.7 level (the 50 days moving average). This is clearly a positive sign with a nice potential up. How much potential this upside trend has? Let's zoom out to check:
During the first half of 2023, the stock had a strong support level around $7.5-$8, where buyers accumulated a large amount of shares. During August the stock broke this level down, all the way to the $4.96 level.
A known technical rule is that a strong medium-term support level, will become a significant resistant level. Therefor, most chances the current positive trend will continue, and may stop only around the $7.5-$8 range, meaning a 25% move up from it's current level.
