From a technical standpoint, Cree stock briefly recouped some of its losses from earlier this week. The relative strength index (RSI) appears neutral with a reading of 55.23, but the MACD appears on the verge of a bearish crossover. These indicators suggest that the stock is still at risk of resuming its downtrend.<\/p>\n
Traders should watch for an ongoing move higher to retest highs of $129.90 over the coming sessions. If the stock breaks out from those levels, traders could see a move toward trendline resistance at around $132.00. If the rebound fails to materialize, traders could see a move toward trendline support at $112.00 or the 50-day moving average at $108.72.<\/p>\n
