Monthly Chart

On the monthly chart we can see that after setting its $27.96 all time high (ATH) about a decade ago price fell dramatically and for all intents and purposes is in search of a bottom.
Price potentially may want to visit a very long term trend line in the $8.50 area.
This type of volatile up/down price action can be really tough on the buy and hold investors but at the same time can be a traders haven!
Weekly Chart

On the weekly chart we can see with much more clarity the fall from ATHs, and the continued selling pressure during the last several years.
Trading around $11.30 earlier today price may take a breather in this price area before deciding to either move back to the upside or continue with the selling pressure. While this is not the last chance for the bulls to step in they seemingly are running out of room from a technical standpoint.
We can see a potential zone of interest sitting roughly between $8.50 and $9.50.
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.
