Mastercard (MA) - The outlook is now bullish and the stock could move to $180-182 levels in the near term. Stop-loss for existing holdings may be placed at $155. A close below this level would negate the positive outlook. Things to focus on the technical chart is the huge spike in volume today. It probably marked the end of the slide and beginning of bottoming. Although both 50 day and 200 day moving averages are falling, the rising KD shows the stock is probably now in recovery mode.
