Please take a look at the 1-year chart of LQDT (Liquidity Services, Inc.) below with my added notations:
After peaking at $57 in September, LQDT has gradually worked its way lower. From November until May the stock had shown a tendency to react to the level of $35 (red) and LQDT showed a sign of life when it broke back above $35 in mid-May. Unfortunately, the stock stalled again and broke back below that level in June. The stock is now approaching the 52-week low level of $30 (blue) that it has tested multiple times since the end of January.
The Tale of the Tape: LQDT is approaching its key level of $30. A trader could enter a long position at $30 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below that support a short position would be recommended instead.
