Ciena (CIEN) shares fell nearly 6% today with a normal volume. This drop occurs one day before the earnings report, which make me think that the drop is nothing more than a pessimistic forecast about the report. But if some good news comes to the market tomorrow, we might see a brutal short squeeze. I’m beating for a good earnings report, after some signs of stabilization in the network sector, but we must be prepared for everything. The stock has been trading in a range of $9.32-$12.5 in the past 7 weeks, only a break of this range can give some clues to future movements. However, if there is a rally above 12.50, then it is likely to be significant.
