Starbucks is right at its prior April 2012 highs and has closed above those prior closing highs.
We are looking for the stock to reach $79.00 a share in coming weeks or months. After breaking out to new highs, SBUX should continue to climb to its 132% retracement level, which is at $79.00, before a serious correction occurs.
