Besides having an excellent technical rating, FOUR also presents a decent setup pattern. Prices have been consolidating lately. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 73.35. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 71.01, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone. We notice that large players showed an interest for FOUR in the last couple of days, which is a good sign.
One strategy to consider is waiting for the actual breakout to occur, where the stock breaks out above the current consolidation zone. Traders can then enter a buy position, anticipating further upward momentum. As a risk management measure, it is advisable to set a stop loss order below the consolidation zone.
