DKNG- Chart Analysis

A visible downward-sloping line is broken by the price, which is a positive sign. Further expectations are that the price would move upward to the supply zone before consolidating for a while. 

There is a strong demand zone underneath, which would not be crossed unless a piece of very negative news hits the market. Soft support available at $13.26 could be touched while consolidating or retracing, just in case. However, there are lesser chances for a supposed retracement. The trend line breakout is done in a two-step process, meaning the bulls are driving the rally. 

The higher wicks on the upper side could denote a possible down movement. Still, the sporting events coming around shortly are expected to drive the rally, as sports betting was and will always be a lucrative business when such exciting events occur.
