Micron is one of those dinosaur tech names that has been killed by its competitors and naysayers over and over again. But they are survivors, and while their DRAM product is a commodity business, the company continues to evolve with the times. Recently, the stock hit bottom on the charts but it may now be coming back in a big way.
The decline in early January was devastating; strong volume and massive selling brought the stock to its knees. This was a capitulation from enormous pressure it faced in the fall, and we can see that long downtrend line is still in play. However, once the bottom hit in mid-January, Micron was on the road to recovery. The channel is well-defined, which we see as higher lows and higher highs emerge. Volume has picked up, but what’s really notable is the strong move over the 50 ma (arrow).
Relative strength shows a nice uptrending slope too, but resistance is dead ahead. The crossroad appears to be around the 12.75 level, about 10% higher than Monday’s close. At that point it’ll be decision time, but the bias seems to be towards a move higher.
