In my last review of Tyler Technologies TYL from June 2023 I wrote that TYL had been "marking time" with its sideways price action at the time, and that the rally should resume soon. I also felt that traders could probe the long side of the software and services company on strength above $404; the $431 area was my first price target and $472 was the fundamental price target.

TYL reached the $472 target in May, so let's check for other targets for the software and services company.

In this daily bar chart of TYL, below, I can see that prices are in an uptrend and trade firmly above the rising 50-day moving average line and above the rising 200-day moving average line. 

The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line has a positive trend, but has leveled off in recent days. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is above the zero-line, but correcting.

In this weekly Japanese candlestick chart of TYL, below, I can see that prices doubled in the past two years or so. Prices trade above the rising 40-week moving average line. The weekly trading volume has been increasing the past seven months or so and tells me that investor interest has increased. The OBV line has a positive trend and it tells me that buyers of TYL have been more aggressive than sellers. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence oscillator is in a positive alignment above the zero-line.

In this daily Point and Figure chart of TYL, below, I can see an ambitious upside price target in the $853 area.

In this weekly Point and Figure chart of TYL, below, I see that the software is projecting a price target in the $853 area -  just like the daily chart above.

Bottom line strategy: The $645-$650 area is my next upside price target. The round number of $700 is my secondary price target. A stop at $545 is recommended.
