Lending credence to this short-term run, Profit Scanner shows that several bullish events have appeared on CY’s chart in recent weeks including the following:

Traders should be aware that resistance for CY resides at $10.93, so a close above that level should provide an all-clear. Conversely, support for the stock is at $10.22, which CY has held nicely for several sessions.

Still, it’s important to set stop-losses in the event of a reversal, and Profit Scanner has identified a close below $10.27 as a medium stop appropriate for the average trader.

CY is expected to report quarterly earnings in mid-October, so if this pattern is successful it should play out before then.
