The 21 Days Simple Moving Average is placed as a shadow of the stock price at $9.33, which is below the stock price, suggesting the bullish momentum for the stock price. The support to keep the trend intact is placed between $9.18 and $8.45 zone, and the resistance is at the lifetime high of $10.29 levels, breaching that, will take off the stock to fresh new highs.
