What’s Next For Snap?
Bullish traders would like to see the stock break above the pattern resistance and push higher in the pattern. Bulls also want to see the RSI push a little higher to see a nice upward push.
Bears would like to see the stock fall out of the flag pattern and fall back into the channel it once traded in. For this to happen the price would have to cross below the $65 level, and begin to hold it as resistance once again.
