STX - broke out of CUP consolidation

STX rise that began in late Dec last year was disrupted as it went into a multi-month cup consolidation from February. Last week, it finally broke above the neckline of this CUP @ 71.50 on strong volume.

A number of technical signals are now going right for STX and it appears a trend continuation is underway:
1. its 200 day moving average is now subtly curving upwards
2. MACD on its MONTHLY chart has now begun to cross up into positive territory. This is significant and likely signals a longer term bullish outlook (whip saws not withstanding).

Any dip back towards the neckline @ 71.50 will be a lower risk opportunity to long with initial stop loss below 67.50. Trail profits up should trade goes our way.
