Take a look at the 1-year chart of Hornbeck (NYSE: HOS) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Hornbeck (NYSE: HOS)
HOS has formed a key support level at $16 (green) over the past two months. In addition, the stock is declining against a short-term, down trending resistance level (red). These two levels combined had HOS stuck within a common chart pattern known as a descending triangle. Eventually, the stock will have to break one of those two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: HOS is sitting at its triangle support. A short trade could be made on a break of support or on a rally up to resistance. A long trade could be made at support or on a break through the triangle resistance.
