    Liking this bottom here on SLCA.

    DEMAND > SUPPLY over the last 4 weeks in the volume histogram. There are two major stop volume candles preceding it on high volume showing absorption of supply. A close above the candle for the week of August 7th ($27.67) should provide the necessary short covering for a reversion back towards the LVN and POC.

    The first chart is for 2017. The second chart is a 3 year chart (which shows support at the 3 year POC).

    This stock is kind of a pain in the ass when it comes to holding gains after gap ups in the morning. :mad:

    The aggravation continues.

    Hit a high of $30.27 and got crapped all over. That level was essentially the open of July 24th - which saw a sell climax of over 11 million shares. Pretty much gonna be the line in the sand for now as it needs to be breached to trigger a proper short cover.

    I always have the hardest time holding onto a stock grinding it's way up like this.

    Hit a high of $32.61 today, so basically +476 tick move (17.1%) to this point.

    Last year's most active price-by-volume (POC) is still at approx $36.00. Now that it broke above the stop volume candle, that area should theoretically act as support.

    The idea here is that anytime the price action breaks above a stop candle - the shorts who previously entered there will be forced to cover their positions. Considering that stop volume candles always happen on sell climax volume - that should be a significant amount of covering.
