SELL:

TYL fell below its 16-month uptrend line in January and below its 22-month uptrend line in February. TYLs decline since the November 2021 peak is more of an increasingly steep curve than a downtrend line (zoom chart). This puts the next level of long-term support far below Wednesdays close; near the 2019 breakout or 40% lower (weekly chart).

TYL Tyler Technologies Inc. 418.6500 Stop = 445.8623 Target = 313.9875

SELL:

BLD fell below its 22-month uptrend line in February. The 5.85% rally yesterday merely puts BLD at resistance from the new 2022 downtrend line (zoom chart). Long-term support is 40% below Wednesdays close. The Home Building sector has also broken below its long-term uptrend; portending negatively for BLD.

RRG analysis shows that ITB (the Home Building ETF) has moved decidedly into the Lagging quadrant among the 25 major sectors and subsectors.
