EDIT: Hmmmm. PPS has been grinding flatly for the last 4 days
"Chart breakout is very close as well. "
Yep, but the wrong direction, maybe. Three of the last six days, through today, tops bump that $1.27/8 level and fell back.
Three days bottomed at $1.25 and then today made a low of $1.24 in the morning and then AH.
I'm thinking it's starting to "roll over" a bit here. I've a very short-term descending trend line that was tentative at first but looks to be in play as our highs have gone $1.28, $1.27 and now $1.26.
Until today it was on falling volume, suggesting the bottom might be in. But today volume was up around [EDIT] 43% on a lower low and lower high.
Price range riiding high in the Bollinger band, suggesting a move to the nid-point of ~$1.21, short-term. RSI, MFI, Momentum, full stochastic and ADX all weakening.
Reversion to the mean of this recent up leg would put us to $1.19.
If it completed a sweep of my descending trading channel today on a down leg we'd see $1.13-$1.14.
As to the shorters, I think they don't feel a need to rush, so they won't be applying much upward pressure. That last surprise financing round, pre-report and subsequent Q report knocked all support out from under the stock. I think the shorters attitude is demonstrated by the percentage changes as they've covered. Low single digit percentage changes.
