NEO's technical picture
Despite a strong recovery from the recent low at $27.03 registered on June 29, the long-term trend is still bearish. The price needs to move above $40.22 (50-DMA) to get a chance for an extended recovery. On the downside, the support is produced by 4-hour SMA at $34.20, followed by $31.40, which is the lower band of a recent range.
