Technical picture after the CATX earnings beat

The post‑earnings session has already carved out a bullish “breakout‑and‑rise” pattern. The stock opened near the prior‑day close, quickly surged past the high of the previous two trading days (≈ $4.12) and is now holding above the $4.05 – $4.10 resistance zone on well‑above‑average volume (≈ 2.5× the 20‑day average). The price action resembles a flag‑pole: a steep upward thrust followed by a short, shallow consolidation (the “flag”) that is now completing. If the flag holds and the next candle closes above the $4.10‑$4.12 range, the move could accelerate into a mid‑term uptrend.

Momentum oscillators are already turning bullish. The 14‑period RSI has crossed the 50‑level and is hovering around 62, still well below the over‑bought 70 threshold, indicating room for further upside. The MACD (12,26) histogram has turned positive, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and the histogram expanding, confirming upward momentum. The ADX has risen above 25, confirming that the emerging trend has sufficient strength.

Trading implication – A long entry on a breakout above $4.12 with a stop just below the flag’s lower trendline (≈ $3.95) would keep risk modest. If the price retests the breakout level and holds, consider scaling in on the pull‑back to the $4.05‑$4.08 support zone. Conversely, a failure to hold the $4.05 level would invalidate the bullish flag and could trigger a short‑cover rally, so watch that floor closely.
