Monthly Chart
On the monthly chart we can see that after reaching its all-time high of $158.37 earlier this month price quickly faded back down.
With little to no prior price history at all-time highs, the price often enters what we call a "discovery phase" to establish new market structure.
In this scenario, price seemingly sped through the discovery phase (for now) and quickly faded back down towards previous and familiar price structure bypassing previous support/resistant levels.
Recently, price tested previous ATHs support/resistance level around the $142 area and is now seemingly deciding on its next move.
Volatility is a common price action behavior, though it tends to be unpopular among investors.
Weekly Chart
On the weekly chart we can see where price set its ATH before quickly dropping back down the past few weeks.
Since then, price bounced around $142 back towards the upside but may soon face a catalyst in the form of earnings.
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 fifteen years price has been making a series of higher highs and higher lows /aka/ an uptrend.
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.
