Monthly Chart
On the monthly chart we can see that price recently reached un-chartered territory after creating new $260.10 all time highs (ATH) just last month.
With little to no previous price history at ATHs price can go through what we like to call a "discovery phase" to create new structure.
In this scenario, price sped through the discovery phase (for now) and quickly faded back down towards previous and familiar price structure. All very normal.
As traders we're limited to estimating potential upside targets using only price action tools Trend and Fibonacci as shared for free in our Trading All Time Highs webinar replay.
Weekly Chart
On the weekly chart we can see where price set its ATH before quickly dropping back down the past several weeks.
Why then when a company makes ATHs can price quickly drop back down?
For a variety of reasons including maybe this was a case of traders and investors taking some profits off the table.
Regardless, it's clear to see that for more than a decade price has been making a series of higher highs and higher lows /aka/ an uptrend.
And surely you know the old saying: the trend is your friend!
Until it isn't.
It goes without saying though, the only guarantee in the markets is that price cycles. It cycles up and it cycles down across all time frames and all charts and rarely, if ever, moves in a straight line.
Only time will tell for sure what price will do next...
