Why Is Spotify (SPOT) Stock Rising?

Technical Analysis of Spotify (SPOT) Stock

Drawing a parallel with musical notes on a staff, the price action appears to be playing a "bullish melody," rising while interacting with a structure of four ascending lines that alternate between support (one of many examples marked with an arrow) and resistance.

In March, the price tested support at Line Two, which was reinforced by the psychological level of $500 per share. If bullish momentum remains strong, buyers may attempt to push the stock back into the range between Lines Three and Four.
