If price goes beyond $182.51, you should not chase the price and wait for another opportunity. If you decide to enter this trade, the suggested stop loss is at $156.44
| Buy setup | Buy point | Stop loss | Risk |
| Uptrend buy setup | $173.82 | $156.44 | 10% |
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 all-time highs is that shares price doesn't have upper resistances, and usually it scales quickly. 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 always important. Price is now at 2.95% 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 $180.71. Arm your stop-loss at $162.64
| Buy setup | Buy point | Stop loss | Risk |
| ATH buy setup | $180.71 | $162.64 | 10% |

Moving averages are simple tools for investors to gauge momentum. A moving average is the average price of a stock over a set period of time. Moving averages are usually calculated on different periods depending on the trading timeframe 21, 50, 100 and 200 days are the most usual moving averages
Traders use support and resistance levels to spot price points on a chart that tend to behave as glass ceiling, preventing the price of shares to move in certain direction. A support level is a level where the price tends to find support as it falls. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce off" this level rather than break through it. However, if the price breaks down this level, it is likely to continue declining until meeting another support level. On the other side, resistances are where the price may find resistance as it moves up. In the same manner, this means that the price is more likely to "rebound" at this level, and if it finally crosses this level, the price will rally easily until it hits the next resistance
The current resistance levels are:
The current supports are:
So-called Bollinger bands are a well-established technique developed by John Bollinger. Fundamentally, the Bollinger Bands are bands that flow around a moving averagediffering in distance from the bottom to the top depending on market volatility.

Since the price surpassed the upper band on October 12, the price dropped by 0.81%. The price is moving near to the upper Bollinger band, signaling some level of overbought in recent sessions. This is not a sell point, as price can move in these levels for many days and weeks
