$ZS Beats on Earnings / Trying to Breakout

ZS I have most relevant info on chart. I have an alert set on the upper resistance line on the chart. It did exceed that but pulled back in this tough market. I will be looking for both the market to improve (who knows?) and ZS to break above that area.

The bad is both the market and ZS did put in a lower low most recently. In any event this is high on my watchlist even for a pullback and rally play.

Ideas, not investing / trading advice. Comments always welcome. Thanks for looking.

"The bad is both the market and ZS did put in a lower low most recently." Should read: The bad is the market is not good now and ZS put in a recent lower low.
