Notice the following on the daily chart:

-- Prices have clearly been in an uptrend since the beginning of July

-- Prices have continually moved through upside resistance

-- Prices have used the 10, 20 and 50 day SMA as technical suppot

-- All the SMAs are moving higher

-- The shorter SMAs are above the longer SMAs
