The three-year chart tells the story of a stock that has been very generous to investors who caught the ride early in 2013 as the shares began an aggressive advance. The shares really started to gain momentum in March of 2013 as they broke above resistance at $0.80 and rode support along the 50-day moving average to a 52-week high at $2.37 in October. However the stock has been pulling back over the last four weeks and has breached the uptrend that started in March. Notice the retest of support in the $1.75 range. The six-month chart provides a close-up of the break below the uptrend line and the breach of support along the 50-day moving average. The RSI and the MACD both signalled a sell as the stock hit the 52-week high and they continue to indicate that a reversal of the downtrend has yet to form. What is clear from this chart is that support in this range has to hold or there will be a retest the thin ledge of support at $1.50. What is also noticeable is the development of a range bound pattern with support at $1.75 and resistance at $2.00. If you have an appetite for risk you might try to trade CMI in this tight range but don't expect a return to a sustained uptrend in the near term.
