After a steady decline through-out most of 2014, DSX has been trading sideways over the last 3 months. 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.
DSX’s rectangle pattern has formed a resistance at $7.25 (blue) and a $6.25 support (green). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: DSX is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $6.25 or on a breakout above $7.25. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $6.25.
