Is $MUSA ready for another run?Notes:
I last mentioned $MUSA on July 7th, 2022 and since then it has run up more than 12% hitting our target.
Since hitting our target $MUSA has been in an orderly pull back to the broken resistance of $262.58 and testing that as support.
* Ideally, this should now hold above $262.58 in order to stay constructive. A daily close, or two, would signal weakness.
Now that earnings are out better than expected we may be able to expect another run up.
Everything else remains the same as my previous post.
