Acacia Technicals
With the stock trading higher in the pre-market session, the stock is gearing up for a follow-through day. RS Line is rising (note the blue dot). Volume is increasing after a 4-month base. The base projects a measured move of 10 (+/-) points.
Acacia Weekly
The weekly chart shows recent quarters with negative growth, in addition to a broken downtrend. The right side of a larger pattern is developing, signaling accumulation and “markup” of its shares. Also note sales and earnings growth in the left panel, adjusted higher as growth returns to this key metric.
Investors Business Daily ranks Acacia number 3, lead by number one ranked Ciena Corporation (CIEN). If volume continues to surge, it would suggest institutional interest is returning. And, considering Ciena’s bullish trend, it would suggest that these makers of optical communications devices should see their shares continue higher in the coming months.
