Shorts Covering? Maybe a few??, but Rambus has too long a history of rise and tumble for any who have followed this stock very long too get excited. What must change is Rambus needs to rise and hold a level for weeks not hours. The next key resistance level for Rambus is 88 1/2 a rise and hold above that level might get some shorts nervous. But the key again is to rise and hold, not tumble. Overal volume is still relatively like for much short covering. Don
