Technical Analysis
Longer Term Trading Plans for CENTA
- Buy CENTA near 38.05 target n/a stop loss @ 37.94. Details
- NONE . Details
The technical summary data tells us to buy CENTA near 38.05, but there is no current upside target from the summary table. In this case we should wait until either an update to the summary table has been made (which usually happens at the beginning of every trading day), or until the position has been stopped. The data does tell us to set a stop loss 37.94 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 38.05 is the first level of support below 38.77, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 38.05 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.
NONE .
