This LONG swing trade idea is not trade advice and is strictly based on my ideas and technical analysis. No due diligence or fundamental analysis was performed while evaluating this trade idea. Do not take this trade based on my idea, do not follow anyone blindly, do your own analysis and due diligence. I am not a professional trader.
Comment:
Because we broke 955k shares traded on June 30th, I consider the need for 955k already met (yes, I missed that when I posted this idea), but if price breaks 219.23 with average or better volume, I would consider starting a position.
Comment:
Extremely unlikely I would take a trade before earnings - so I really it trades sideways for a while longer.
Comment:
I don't know what was said during earnings, but in price manages to get back up over 219.23 with, I may enter.
Comment:
I meant to say back above 219.23 with volume greater than 955k in my previous post. Today we got price, but not volume, so I'm sill watching.
Comment:
Got price and volume, I wouldn't blame anyone for taking this trade. For me, I'll probably let it go until I see the market improve.

Trading sideways on decreasing volume is positive action.

Take some off if you entered around 219.
Comment:
Trim your position, don't let a winner turn to a loser.
