Enphase Energy Forecast: one growth stock ignoring the macro

ENPH stock could care less about the macro environment of high inflation and rising interest rates. It is one of the few beaten down growth stock of the past two years that seems to be recoving with Wednesday's bounce. The 9-day moving average usurped the 21-day moving average on Wednesday, so it does appear this rally might have legs to it.

Though the stock was up 24% in the premarket, it needs to close above $191 to sustain a further rally. $191 acted as resistance on October 19, 2021, and during the last week of that year. Support sits at $144.
