Potential Double Bottom
Since reaching their early-September low, Dollar Tree shares have formed two distinct troughs around the same level on the chart, raising the possibility of a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:double bottom, a classic patt𒅌ern that signals a potential upside ဣtrend reversal.
More recently, the stock has staged a bounce from lows but ran into selling pressure just beneath the respected 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:50-day moving average, indicating caution amid ongoing uncertainties.
However, as the stock looks set to test higher prices on Tuesday, let’s identify several key 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:resistance levels on Dollar Tree’s chart and point out a major area of support to monitor if buying momentum subsides.
Key Resistance Levels to Monitor
Firstly, it’s worth eyeing the $77 level, a location on the chart where investors who purchased the stock near recent lows may look to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:lock in profits near the September 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:swing high.
A volume-backed breakout above this level would confirm a double bottom on the chart and potentially act as a catalyst for a move up to $92, an area where the shares may encounter resistance near the mid-August trough.
Follow-through buying could see the shares test the $104 🦋level. This region may attract selling pressure near a trendline connecting a range of comparable tradin🌺g levels on the chart between September last year and August this year.
Major Support Area to Watch
If news-related buying subsides, it’s worth monitoring how the shares respond to the $63 area, a location where investors may look for buying opportunities near the two potential double bottom troughs that formed between early September and late October. However, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:breakdown below this level could see the stock continue its longer-term ✱downtreᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnd.
