1-year chart of Boardwalk (NYSE: BWP)
After a steady 5-month rally BWP dropped into October and has been trading sideways ever since. During the sideways move the stock has formed 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.
BWP’s rectangle pattern has formed an $18 resistance (red) and a $15 support (blue). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: BWP is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $15 or on a breakout above $18. The ideal short opportunities would be on either a break below $15 or on a rally back up to $18.
