Technicals: With a good bounce off the
6 month support level at 21.50, the stock is now preparing to move
into a pre split run which could push the stock back into the 26-28
dollar level. Helping it along the way are the MACD's and Stochastics,
which are both ready for a positive breakout to the upside. Stochastics
although Semi flat are slowly trending upward. The 30dma at 26.01
is the first real level of resistance for CRFT. Volume remains consistent
with an average of 7 million shares traded per day indicating that
the stock now just above support should stay in its trading range.
