For the remainder of last week, the action in ACGL was fairly tame with shares trading in a tight range above initial support, and not triggering a SELL signal.
All of the stock’s ranks remain fairy-high and were not affected by this week’s broader market action concerning growth leaders.
Shares closed last week just above $40 with only some very slight overhead supply to work through to get clear to new all-time highs above $41.57.
