Technical Summary: While the stock of MET is currently trading below all time highs it is a stock that has
gradually found it way to new highs in a slow moving uptrend. Since May 2016 the stock has been in a long consolidation period. In the last year this consolidation has been constuctive with the stock appearing to make a couple of higher lows and potentially looks to be positing another one. Despite this, there is no reason for urgency for investors or traders as the stock does not appear to be going anywhere quickly at the moment. The stock should either be dollar cost averaged or traders can wait for a more obvious buying opportunity.
