on its weekly chart. The stock's September to November rally failed to produce new
highs and occurred on weak volume. On Monday, RAL closed just below key Gann

day moving average (34.11), 55 day moving average (32.92), and 200 day moving average
(33.53). Weekly stochastics has given a sell signal. Weekly RSI and OBV are in
downtrends. Daily CCI and daily MACD have given sell signals. Daily OBV showed
extreme divergence with price action during the September-November rally. Short on a
break below support at 31, placing a stop near the 200 day moving average.
