askSlim Technical Briefing

The weekly cycle analysis suggests that Micron is in a very positive intermediate-term pattern. Weekly momentum is positive. 

On the upside, there is an intermediate-term Fibonacci projection/target zone from 65.28 – 68.71. On the downside, there is a rising intermediate-term Fibonacci support at 56.46 followed by another zone of support from 53.65 – 49.10. For the bears to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would likely need to see a weekly close below cycle low support at 44.55


askSlim Sum of the Evidence

Micron is in a very bullish weekly cycle pattern with positive weekly momentum. Given these conditions, we would expect sell-offs to be contained to the rising intermediate-term Fibonacci supports beginning at 56.46 until the next intermediate-term low forms.

The next projected intermediate-term low is due between the end of April and the end of May. Once the next intermediate-term low forms, there is a likelihood the stock tests 65 by July.
