After a strong move higher, popular retailer Dillards (DDS) has no resistance overhead, writes Greg Harmon, listing five potential option set-ups to capitalize on additional upside movement.
Dillards (DDS) has been consolidating after a strong move higher from $49 in February in a bull flag topping at $64 and with a lower limit of $62. It has a bullish Relative Strength Index (RSI) and a Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator that is negative, but improving. Both would support a move higher.
There is no overhead resistance on a breakout, but it would create a target on a measured move to $78. Short interest is very high in this name at over 15% and could facilitate a short squeeze. Support is found lower at $60 and $55.50, followed by $52.70.
