Once again the share price break out its side way range and overcame its S-Trader Trend Tracker resistance on 15 Feb 2017, it rallied to a new High of USD96.92 on 1 March 2017.

Notice that the breakout action, the amount of volume activity as compare to the rally the day after US election 2016 recorded quite a low participation. This indicates potential weakness behinds the rally.

It doesn't take long to wait to see the true picture.

The share price starts to slide following the next day (2 March 2017) and broke the S-Trader Trend Tracker Support level on 17 March 2017 with closing price of USD88.23.
