Plug Power stock price forecast

The daily chart shows that the PLUG stock price has made a strong recovery in the past few months. It has jumped by more than 54% from the lowest level this year. However, there are signs that the shares are losing momentum. They have formed a small double-top pattern, which is usually a bearish sign.
Plug Power share price has also failed to flip the 200-day moving average into a support. This is a sign that buyers are a bit cautious about the company. Therefore, while the company has some positive catalysts, there is a likelihood that it will drop to $10 after earnings.
The alternative scenario is where the shares make a strong comeback and moves above the 200-day MA after earnings. If this happens, the next level to watch will be at $15.
