The technical chart shows a continuation of the trend with MACD and RSI in the Bullish areas. However, both Stochastic and RSI indicator is reaching the top end which indicates that the stock is now in overbought condition.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com ( click to enlarge )Ciena shares fell nearly 6% today with a normal volume. This drop occurs one day before the earnings report, which make me think that the drop is nothing more than a pessimistic forecast about the report. But if some good news comes to the market tomorrow, we might see a brutal short squeeze. I'm beating for a good earnings report, after some signs of stabilization in the network sector, but we must be prepared for everything. The stock has been trading in a range of $9.32-$12.5 in the past 7 weeks, only a break of this range can give some clues to future movements. However, if there is a rally above 12.50, then it is likely to be significant.
