The next rally it made during the end of 2022 was limited till it hit the ceiling of about $121 at the end of January this year. The continuous lower highs made by the stock since last year — depicted using orange circles on the chart — indicate it could be a while before the stock breaks out of this zone and moves into a sustained rally.

Support: The stock has near-term support close to the $85 mark. If it breaches that level on the downside, it could fall all the way toward the $63 mark.
