The rise came on news of planned job cuts. The money flow index is trading in the mid-range, neither overbought nor oversold.
F has been trading sideways since it hit a peak of $12.14 on Jan. 11 and has generally stayed in a $12 to $11 range, with a overshoots in both directions.
Looking more broadly, F has been in an uptrend since November, when it hit a low of $1.01. The sideways movement of the last month can be seen as a correction of the most recent leg in that rise.
I'm interested in F if it can break past the $12.14 level, setting a new high that would confirm resumption of the uptrend. Otherwise, there's far too much congestion for me to be sanguine about entering now.
If I were seeing a bull signal and the stock were trading at the bottom of its recent range, then I would happily go in with an iron condor or some other sideways strategy.
But since the signal is coming at the high end of the range, I don't see a sideways play as having a high probability of success.
