This stock recently sold off from its high of $16.72 to its low of $14.37. Now shares are rebounding off that $14.37 low and clearing both of those key moving averages.

Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CIEN as long as it's trending above its 200-day moving average of $14.72 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 3.60 million shares as bullish. If CIEN can maintain that trend, then this stock has a great chance of re-testing its recent high of $16.72. Any move above $16.72 will then put $17.85 to $18.39 into range for shares of CIEN.
