This month the start of a new upswing has become clearer with the shares establishing a higher low, then completing a bullish Double Top breakout. A close above $80.00 would complete a pending spread double top pattern and confirm the start of a new upswing.

Based on a combination of a previous column high and a horizontal count, initial upside resistance may appear near $93.90, followed by the late 2020 peak near $97.70. Initial support appears near $72.60 based on a 3-box reversal.
