Plug Power stock price has suffered a harsh reversal in the past few weeks, moving from a high of $4.58 in October to $2.50 today. This performance mirrored the pullback in the US stock market, where top indices like the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 dropped. So, will the stock rise or fall after its earnings report?

Plus Power stock price technical analysis 

The daily timeframe chart shows that the PLUG stock price has crashed in the past few weeks, falling from a high of $4.58 in the first week of October to $2.50 today.

It moved below the important support level at $3.30, its highest level in January this year, confirming the bearish outlook.  

The stock is hovering at the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and is slightly above the 100-day MA. 

On the positive side, the decline is part of the cup-and-handle pattern, which is a common continuation sign. It has also formed a bullish engulfing candle, where a big bullish candle fully covers a small bearish one.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that the stock will bounce back and possibly hit the important resistance level at $3.30. A move above that level will point to more gains, potentially to the year-to-date high of $4.58.

On the flip side, a drop below the 100-day moving average at $1.42 will invalidate the bullish Plug Power stock price outlook.
