IMGN has formed a head and shoulders (H&S) pattern. Please take a look at the 1-year chart of IMGN (ImmunoGen, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of IMGN (ImmunoGen, Inc.) Over the last (5) months IMGN has created a key level of support at $15. That $15 support is also the current “neckline” for IMGN's H&S pattern. Above the neckline you will notice the H&S pattern itself (blue). Remember, patterns such as an H&S need to confirm to have the meaning that they imply. Confirmation of the H&S would occur if the stock were to break below its $15 support. If IMGN does break that level, the stock should move lower from there.

The Tale of the Tape: IMGN seems to have formed a head & shoulders pattern. Although a trader could go long at $15 expecting a bounce, the stock's pattern implies an eventual breakdown. If that happens, a short trade should be entered on a break of the $15 level.
