Technically, the price is in an incomplete rising wedge pattern. A rising wedge comprises of higher highs and higher lows, where the highs and lows are respectively in-line and can be connected by trend lines. The expectation is for the price to progress to notation 5 to complete the rising wedge pattern.

The stock price recently crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, which classifies the long-term trend as bullish. Based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator, the share will be overbought at $400, which classifies our profit target of $380 as realistic. We suggest a low at-risk allocation for this trade.
