The Ryland Group is trading in a bullish trend and several elements argue for the continuation of this trend.

EPS and sales previsions have been revised upward during the last months.

Graphically, after a strong impetus, the stock could consolidate and pull back to the USD 42.2 short-term support. At this level, the share price should be supported by the 20 and 50-day moving average and rebound towards the USD 48 resistance.

According to both technical and fundamental elements, investors could take a long position at USD 42.2 to target USD 48. A stop loss will be placed under the USD 42.2 short term support to avoid a downtrend.
