Please take a look at the 1-year chart of IRWD (Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of IRWD (Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) This stock is very simple. IRWD had held a very important level of support at $10 (blue) for the entire year. Regardless of what the market has or has not down over that period of time, the stock had never broken that level. Well, earlier this week IRWD broke below the $10 support and should be moving overall lower from here.

The Tale of the Tape: IRWD had a key level of support at $10. Now that the stock has broken support, a trader might want to enter a short trade at or near the $10 level with a stop placed above that level. A break back above $10 would negate the forecast for a move lower.
