MBLY Technical Analysis
MBLY stock is up 19.7% year to date, but sits well below the July all-time-high of $64.48. For the past two month the stock has consolidated sideways in range between $42.00 and $49.80. On Wednesday, MBLY pushed above this range to $50.35 and saw some volume trading before pulling back. The stock had modest gains over the past two days and finished trading Wednesday at $48.54 a 6.6% increase over Monday’s pre-earnings close.
On the long side, resistance sits at $48.90 and $49.30 and $49.80. A volume move through, and hold above $50.35 could indicate a longer-term bullish break out. On the bearish side, support sits at $48.20, $48 and $47.40. If MBLY does not break to the upside over the next couple of days, I would anticipate continued choppy action within the consolidation range. I will watch price action for breaks or reversals at each of the support and resistance levels.
