1-year chart of WFT (Weatherford International Ltd.)


WFT had been trading within a sideways Rectangle for the last (3) months. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. What's great about a Rectangle pattern is that it not only provides you with trading points of support & resistance, but it also gives clearly defined breakout & breakdown points. The Rectangle pattern on WFT formed a $13 resistance (blue), which was also previous support, and an $11.50 support (lt. blue). Late last week the stock broke through the resistance.
