PLAY Weekly Chart (click to enlarge) I had noted thatif PLAY can anchor above $58-$60, it would be a more encouraging bullish sign. However price ended up holding under $60 before eventually capitulating. Disclosure: I had entered a partial position around $50. Initially, I wanted to add to the position around 44, but the earnings report spooked me. I exited most of that position at $40. Now, I won't consider buying PLAY until price is around $30.
