Read MoreHide Full Article

After reaching an important support level, Align Technology (ALGN - Free Report) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. ALGN surpassed resistance at the 50-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bullish trend.

One of the three major moving averages, the 50-day simple moving average is commonly used by traders and analysts to determine support or resistance levels for different types of securities. However, the 50-day is considered to be more important since it's the first marker of an up or down trend.

ALGN has rallied 7.4% over the past four weeks, and the company is a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at the moment. This combination suggests ALGN could be on the verge of another move higher.

The bullish case solidifies once investors consider ALGN's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 6 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.

Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on ALGN for more gains in the near future.
