What’s Next For Express?

Bullish traders are looking to see the stock continue to break out and push higher. Following, bulls would like to see the stock have a period of consolidation where it is able to hold its gains. The stock could see another leg up after consolidation.

Bearish traders would like to see the stock fall back below the $6.50 level and then start working lower toward the higher low trendline. If the price can break below the higher low trendline, the stock may be in for a change of trend and possibly a change in sentiment.
