To review Incyte's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of INCY (Incyte Corporation) below with my added notations:

INCY has created a couple of important price levels to watch. First, the stock has formed a clear resistance at $24 (red), which would also be a 52-week high breakout if INCY could manage to move above it. In addition, the stock is climbing a short term, up-trending support level (blue) over the last (3) months. These two levels combined have INCY stuck within a common chart pattern known as an Ascending Triangle. Eventually, INCY will have to break one of those (2) levels.

The Tale of the Tape: INCY has an up trending support and a 52-week resistance level to watch. A long trade could be made on a pullback to the support, or on a break above $24. A break below the up trending support would be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
