To review Veeco's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of VECO (Veeco Instruments, Inc.) below with my added notations:
VECO has created a couple of important price levels to watch. First,
VECO has formed a clear resistance at $38 (red), which would also be a
52-week high breakout if the stock could manage to break 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 VECO
stuck within a common chart pattern known as an Ascending Triangle.
Eventually, the stock will have to break one of those two levels.
