This month's featured chart, Salesforce.com (CRM) has exploded... rocketing skyward for an +83% gain since July!
The weekly chart of CRM forecasts nothing but profits as the stock prepares to complete an intermediate Elliott fifth wave impulse.
The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) confirms the bullish trend is in place... having been in positive territory for the previous two months.
The MA Oscillator has made two bullish crossovers. The trend line break in August and the standard deviation line break this month confirm the upward trend.
Look for a minor Elliott fourth wave pull-back to the moving average channel (gray lines) before CRM begins it move to the $45-$49 price target.
