Prices have firmed above the 50-day moving average line and recently rallied to the underside of the still declining 200-day moving average line.

In this weekly Japanese candlestick chart of PLUG, below, I can see that PLUG has been in a longer-term downtrend but that may be coming to an end. Prices are poised to test and maybe break the declining 40-week moving average line.

The weekly OBV line has moved sideways for the past twelve months. The MACD oscillator shows improvement since December but still remains below the zero line.
