What’s Next For Jumia Technologies?

Bullish traders are hoping that after this gap up the stock will start to form higher lows and head toward the resistance level. Bulls would then like to see a period of consolidation above the $20 level. This would show that the stock can hold its gains and is likely ready for a further bullish push.

Bearish traders are looking to see the stock continue to fall as it has for the past few months and eventually go on to break below support. If the stock can hold below the $7 level it may see a further bearish push in time.
