In the last month LAC has a been trading in the 2.73 - 3.32 range, which is quite wide. It is currently trading in the middle of this range, so some resistance may be found above.
Although LAC has an excellent technical rating, it does not present a decent entry opportunity at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
