Mike added FB as a short-term trade set-up on Monday this week at 79.40, noting that since its Feb 9 low at 73.45, the stock had ended a correction off its Dec 23, 2014 all-time high at 82.17 and started a new up-leg within its larger bull phase.
He noted, "My intermediate-term work indicates that FB is on the verge of upside acceleration that should take out its Feb rally peak at 81.37 on the way to 85.00/30 thereafter."
Mike took a short-term profit on the trade on Thursday at 80.87, just before the Friday sell-off, though says the larger uptrend remains intact as long as 78.80/50 support contains weakness.

"Is this [report] the catalyst that sends BLNK surging to and through multi-YEAR resistance at 14.50-15.00?
