AmeriCann Inc (OTCMKTS: ACAN) Is Ready To Make New Highs

Our last review of AmeriCann, Inc. (OTCMKTS: ACAN) was on the very day that its stock price hit a new high of $5.50 a share. ACAN has been on a bull run since late October 2016 when the stock was trading at less than $1.00. The run has included four distinctive price spikes of more than $1 to $2, on very strong volume. Each price spike was immediately followed by a retracement that gave back some of the gains, but not all. The stock is currently trading at $3.94, and is in the midst of recovering from the low of the last retracement of $3.25. From a technical analysis perspective, savvy traders may see this as a good set-up for a buying opportunity when price regains a least 50 percent of the last retracement, and/or when volume begins to uptick. Each of the four aforementioned price spikes exhibited a similar pattern.
