Technical Analysis:
The price is currently touching the top of my "crash" historical simple moving average bands (green lines). This area is often reserved for share accumulation and can signal a bottom. The price, however, may extend to the bottom of "crash" bands which is currently near $265.00. These bands don't always signal a bottom - there is a still a "major crash" zone - but the company's niche clientele and earnings/revenue growth into 2029 may signal a buy opportunity.
