Jan, what do you say?

I wouldn't say it is (definitely a bull flag) either, since I don't have enough experience identifying and following these patterns, but it certainly is following the script of a bull flag pattern as described.

If we get the 2-3% breakout(above 5.45)the question will be, will the pullback test(of that breakout)hold and confirm the pattern, at which point we'd be looking for about a .70 advance (to about 6.15) based on the technical pattern.

That would be generally in the ballpark of Jan's original (channel breakout)predictions.

As usual, I'm betting that it will confirm. But then imminent positive news is likely to overwhelm this pattern, at which point much higher targets will be appropriate.

Jan, others, what do you say?

Best,

bw

I just checked the historical price chart on Yahoo. The volume did pick up considerably in the run from $3.80's - $5's. It has slowed some in the last 2 weeks. Someone more tech savvy than me should look this over and see what they come up with.
