All-time Highs is always an excellent buy point for those who like to buy high and sell higher. The good point of buying at ATHs is that shares price doesn't struggle with upper resistances, and usually it scales rapidly. However, you must always be aware of a possible bulls trap that may trigger your buy order and then falls sharply. That's why a stop loss is so important. Price is now at 0.4% of all-time highs and it can breakout at any time, so if you want to trade this setup it's recommended to setup your order at $119.14. Set your stop-loss at $107.23
| Buy setup | Buy point | Stop loss | Risk |
| ATH buy setup | $119.14 | $107.23 | 10% |

Moving averages are tools for traders to measure market direction. A moving average is the average price of a stock over a set period of time. Usual time periods used for moving averages are 21 days, 50 days, 100 days and 200 days
Traders use support and resistance levels as a way to spot price points in the stock price action that tend to act as glass ceiling, preventing the price of an asset to move up or down. Supports are levels where the price may stop as it falls. Price is more likely to "bounce off" this level rather than break through it. Nevertheless, if the price breaks down this level, it will probably continue falling until meeting another support level. In contrast, a resistance level is where the price tends to find opposition as it moves up. In the same manner, the price is more liable to "rebound" at this level, and if it finally crosses this level, it will rise more easily until it approaches the next resistance
The current resistances are:
