The second quarter’s earnings missed expectations by some margin while revenue came out higher than expected, with the third quarter due midway through the week a miss in revenue and earnings may drive prices even lower.
Technically the chart is shaping up well for price to decline further lower with the only saving grace likely to be an earning and revenue increase from the second quarter. Following a retracement to test the 50 day moving average, the break on the daily of the 20 day moving average to retest the rising trend line does line up well for a further break lower to a possible target of $85.
