Like many stocks, that rebound first met resistance at the downtrending 20DMA. A 20DMA breakout this month launched the next phase of recovery. Those gains mainly came in just two days for MGM. Ever since, the stock has mostly drifted along. Now it is clinging to 20DMA support. MGM still seems cheap but the stock is in a no-man&#8217;s land.
