GEO has been trading sideways for the last 3 months, while forming a common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. GEO’s rectangle pattern has formed a $38.50 resistance (red) and a $36 support (blue). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels created by the rectangle pattern.

The Tale of the Tape: GEO is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $36, or on a breakout above $38.50. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $36.
