NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The diversified software company Adobe Systems (ADBE) - Get Report, known for its digital media, marketing and publishing products including Photoshop, has been focusing its Creative Cloud services on these applications. The success of this strategy has resulted in four consecutive better-than-expected quarterly earnings reports. 

A fifth-in-a-row positive earnings report should have the stock zooming above the clouds to another all-time high. Daily and weekly technical charts suggest the company will keep the string going when it reports earnings on Tuesday.

Some analysts say that the San Jose, Calif.-based company needs to show stronger-than-expected growth in user subscriptions to Adobe Creative Cloud products -- more than than 550,000 subscribers and as many as 600,000 to justify continued upward momentum for the stock. The company also has a cloud product for marketers.

Analysts expect Adobe to report earnings of 27 cents a share for the quarter that ended in February.

Here's a look at some performance measures for Adobe and key trading levels gleaned through analysis of daily and weekly charts.

Adobe's stock price, $77.62 at Friday's close, gained 21% in 2014 and has tacked on 6.8% so far in 2015. The share price on Feb. 27 set an all-time intraday high, reaching $80.30, and has slipped just 3.3% since then.

Investors wishing to buy Adobe shares after its earnings report should place a good 'til canceled limit order to purchase the stock if the price drops to $69.88, which is a key level on technical charts until the end of June.

Those who wish to book profits in their shares should place a good 'til canceled limit order to sell the stock if the price rises to $85.34, which is a key level on technical charts until the end of March.
