MCP closed down $5.13 in regular trade and declined a further $3.80 to $62.67 in after-hours action.
I thought I saw a $62.50 print but can't pull it up.

Chartology: After Molycorp's Recent Weakness Where is the Stock Going? (MCP)
Well, that big gap up on the chart would be a logical goal before the stock resumes its uptrend.Apr. 27
The stock closed at $71.47 today and is looking a bit weaker than the last time it was in this vicinity.

...Since then the stock traded as low as $67.81 (the next day) and proceeded to set all-time closing highs on the 14th, 15th and 16th with the $76.22 print on the 16th being the all time high.
Yesterday's action, down 3.37% on an otherwise broadly up day is cause for concern.
The $60-62.50 range is still a fair target, a little backing and filling before a convincing set of new highs.
