Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co., an American information technology giant, are trading within a correctional trend at 27.63.

On the daily chart, the price is trying to consolidate below the support line of the sideways corridor 28.00–31.00.

On the four-hour chart, negative dynamics received significant support after overcoming the level of 28.00, which allowed the quotes to reach the early year’s low of 25.00. However, after a return to the sideways range and a breakdown of the support line of 28.10, an increase to the channel resistance line of 31.00 is expected.

Technical indicators are strengthening the sell signal: fast EMA on the Alligator indicator are moving away from the signal line, and the AO histogram is forming corrective bars in the negative zone.
