To analyze the company's stock for potential trading opportunities, please take a look at the 1-year chart of CYT (Cytec Industries, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of CYT (Cytec Industries, Inc.) CYT has had a nice run since it's June low of $55. In August the stock broke above the $65 resistance that had been stalling the stock and then created a $70 resistance (blue) from there. After breaking above that resistance in January, the $70 level became support as expected and $75 became the new level of resistance (red). Now that CYT has taken another step higher by breaking above $75, one might expect that level to now become support just as the previous level of $70 did.
The Tale of the Tape: CYT has broken above $75. A long position could be entered at the $75 support with a stop placed below the level of entry. A short play could be made on a break below $75 with an expectation of a fall back down to $70.
