Last covered on April 8, 2003.
BOQ recently made a new high but then experienced a pull-back below resistance at 7.86. The pull-back encountered support at 7.70 with a long shadow at [5]. Price has since consolidated between 7.70 and 7.82 with big volume signaling accumulation at [6].

The short pull-back and accumulation at [6] signal that a further
rally is likely. A break above 7.82 will be a bull signal; a
break below 7.70 would be bearish.
