VRSN is battling very heavy resistance. The $218-$221 area has held the 2019, multi-month 2020 highs as well as the 2021 peak set back on Jan. 4. Once clear of this key zone, the stock could mount quite a run.
VRSN is coming off a very solid earnings report (April 23rd: VeriSign (VRSN) Q1 Earnings Top Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y – April 23, 2021 – Zacks.com).
