CYBR Technical Analysis
CYBR gapped up in price Thursday to $40.90, up from the prior day’s close of $38.91, which is a 5% increase on the favorable news. Taking a look at the daily chart, we can see the last time CYBR traded at this price level was on December 4th, when it traded at $41.00. Taking a further look back on the daily chart, we can see that CYBR has been on an overall decline dating back to June 18th when it was trading at its 52 week high price of $76.35. More recently, CYBR has been on a steep decline from November 4th when it traded at $51.60. The resistance level for this spike up in price would be $45.00, which was the high of the last move up. If CYBR can break that $45 price level it would reverse the current trend of putting in lower highs. CYBR does have a low float of 21.79 million shares and was trading almost 2 times the normal daily trading volume. CYBR did open at the pre market highs. For trading purposes my entry point would have been $41 looking for a run to $42. My stop loss would have been $40.80, fearing anything below that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
