Buy

11-Jun-07. A few days ago I sold a lot of CYCL for a nice profit. Since then it dropped back much closer to the 50-day moving average and seemed to find support around $9.50. Let's see if I can make some more money off Centennial!

  • Price momentum (PPO) — fell during price drop
  • Relative strength (RSI) — ticking up after fall to neutral
  • Trend (ADX) — still very strong, although pointed down as a result of price drop
  • Volume — increasing since the beginning of April

Based on technical analysis, MarketEdge calls CYCL a "strong buy" in a "strong upward trend."

24-Jul-07. This is the third time that CYCL has made a peak at or above $10.50 and then fallen back. Today was a sizeable gap down I fear this is the dreaded "triple top" reversal forming. Volume is strongly up, but the last jump came at the same time (maybe just before) an analyst upgrade, and earnings are due out in a week. Relative strength (RSI), momentum (PPO), and buying pressure (+DI) have all sharply fallen. It seems very prudent to wait this one out after taking a nice, though not spectacular, profit.
