Shares are heading higher in an upward trading channel (shown in blue). The New York Times reports that Pandora could announce its plans this week to expand its $5-per-month platform, with possible features including skipping more songs or storing several hours of playlists, the newspaper said. The company plans to launch a full-fledged on-demand platform by Christmas. Such a platform, priced at $10 a month, would compete with Spotify and Apple Inc's  Apple Music. Ahead of the event, the stock was upgraded this morning. We will wait for the morning volatility to wear off before opening a position. Note the entry point.
