Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Breaks to Record Highs, What’s Next?
Palo Alto Networks has seen a remarkable rise in its stock price over the last few years and several articles on The Motley Fool suggest there will be further upside. Here are the latest two – Palo Alto Networks’ Bull Run Probably Won’t Be Ending Anytime Soon and Forget Cryptocurrencies: You’re Better Off Buying These 3 Stocks.
On a daily chart, PANW appears to be consolidating in a range since around the middle of May. However, a closer look reveals a notable technical break. Range support near $200 wasn’t just important because of the psychological implications, the level also triggered a sharp turn in 2015 that led to a two-year correction. Although there have been marginal breaches below the level since the stock price initially climbed above it a few months ago, bears have been unable to drive the stock price below it on a sustained basis. To the upside, resistance near $216 had capped rallies in June but the recent bullish break of the level suggests the uptrend has resumed.
