Pre-market still in the plus! When looking at the chart, several price gaps can be seen, most recently from Thursday to Friday last week. It is bullish to note that the prices have continued to rise after each one. The candle from Friday is quite long and after the publication of the figures for the fourth quarter of 2023, the stock is trading significantly in the green before the market opens (currently at 737.00 USD at 1:18 p.m.), so you can assume that insiders already knew more than what was officially known. In general, the stock should still be assessed as bullish. However, you should consider taking profits and buying in again after a pullback. This way, you can set a trailing stop below the previous day’s low in the coming days, or adjust your profit-taking intraday.
