On the upside, there is an intermediate-term resistance at 21.77 followed by another zone of resistance from 26.26 – 29.88.

On the downside, there are intermediate-term supports from 18.77 – 16.90.

For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close above 38.67.

askSlim Sum of the Evidence:

CAKE is in a very negative intermediate-term cycle pattern. There is a likelihood that the stock trades down to the intermediate-term supports beginning at 18.77 by the end of July.
