If you're bullish on this stock, I would look to buy once it clears its 200-day moving average of $19.76 on heavy volume. Look for volume to register close to or above its three-month average action of 537,955 shares. I would then add to any long position once it clears some more overhead resistance at $20.23 a share. In the near-term, I expect this stock to consolidate some of the recent gains since the relative strength index is flashing a 71 which indicates an overbought condition.
