Breakout coming soon.$7.23 is where a lot of %5 stops are going to be placed for short sellers today to call. Once that is breached, it should have no problem getting up to the .764 fib line ($7.77)ish.
Another interesting pattern taking shape here is resistance at $6.86, and a support line wedging up to meet it. To me this looks like sellers are losing Control.
Huge volume support and divergence...Huge volume support and divergence...
Looks like short squeeze and
technical bounce is about to happen...
this is in exact similarity to Twitter right now.
As of today, March 25, 2:55pm,
It looks like short seller started closing their positions...
from the last 14 trading days there is still 1.05B shares to be traded pointing upward price trend....
OBV is just only about 33M shares to confirm the price trend reversal pointing upward....
while daily volume already confirmed the momentum....
this is interesting...
Is it time to Plug in?Positives
1. Gap fill's after run up from positive news
2. Oversold Stoch and MACD at major gap turning to the upside.
4. Volume increased
5. Positive Press
6. Up 600% over 12 months.
7. HUGE Customer's signed up
8. Analysts are expecting sales growth of 68% through 2018
9. Big push for clean Energy... the cool stocks besides Bio and Marijuana
10. Positioned to dominate multiple fuel cell transportation markets, which have combined potential revenues of nearly $50 billion in the U.S. alone.
Negatives
1. Oct threat of de-listing from the Nasdaq
2. Underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Electrical Equipment industry. (could be a long term positive)
3. Nearly gone bankrupt
4. Still not profitable — yet. Deficit of more than $820 million and has losses of about $20 million for 2013 (estimated). 5. The high costs relative to traditional batteries could ward off smaller would-be customers. That said, the overall cost savings are impressive and there is a long term ROI.
6. Costs are preventing exponential growth.
7. REduction in shareholder value with warrant offerings
Conclusion
I think we are at the feet of a sleeping giant... but as always when playing with giants there are risk. Bookings are up. Demand is up. Just had a pull back from a major run up. I think we will climb up till March 13th earnings...
I think now is the time to add to my starter position. Long since .56 with 2,700 shares.
