GNC has made a series of higher lows, seen the first daily chart below, since the summer months. This comes after a steep downtrend beginning in November 2013. Prior highs are above $60, which means it is anyone's guess as to whether the stock will unleash a new bull run. However, the progress is to be noted, on top of today's impressive action.
With this in mind, a similar industry play is VSI, seen on the second chart. Vitamin Shoppe may very well supplement (no pun intended) GNC's recovery (no pun intended) into year-end. Note the tight consolidation with a $47.80 initial upside trigger.
