Bullish structure holds as rally nears overbought readings

RSI at 62.4 is nearing overbought territory, suggesting the recent advance is starting to get stretched. Shares of Qualys remain above the MA-20 at $181.84 as well as the MA-50 and MA-200, maintaining a broadly bullish daily chart structure.

Upside odds dominate as traders watch for a close above resistance

A close above $190.37 would indicate buyers are willing to follow through on the recent move. With RSI nearing the overbought area, the advance shows early signs of being stretched. Even so, for the coming trading week, the probability of upside is more than 80% while downside probability is less than 20%, and the expected trading range is $177.89 to $193.64. A drop below $181.84 would show the move is being faded. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays firmly constructive.

Previously it was reported that the release of Qualys Container Security 1.44 broadened the company's security capabilities and reinforced a constructive technical outlook. The latest product updates further extend Qualys’s offerings, and with technical momentum still in place, traders should monitor $190.37 as the next key level indicating continued strength.
