1-year chart of Hexcel (NYSE: HXL)
After rallying nicely into 2015, HXL started trading sideways over the following 4 months. While in the sideways move, the stock 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.
HXL’s rectangle pattern formed a resistance at $52 (red) and a $48 support (green). After Monday’s drop, the stock is now back inside that range.

The Tale of the Tape: HXL is trading back inside its trading range. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $48 or on a breakout above $52. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $48.
