Methanex Corporation (NASDAQ: MEOH)

Methanex Corporation produces, supplies, and sells methanol to petrochemical producers and distributors. The company also purchases and re-sells methanol produced by others. Its methanol is a clear liquid commodity chemical that is used to produce traditional chemical derivatives, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, and various other chemicals. The company’s methanol is used in energy-related applications; for blending into gasoline, as a feedstock in the production of dimethyl ether, which can be blended with liquefied petroleum gas for use in household cooking and heating, and in the production of biodiesel; and to produce methyl tertiary-butyl ether, a gasoline component, as well as used into olefins applications. In addition, it operates a fleet of methanol ocean tankers with a capacity ranging from 3,000 to 100,000 deadweight tons.
To review Methanex’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of MEOH (Methanex Corporation.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of MEOH (Methanex Corporation.)
MEOH has formed a key level of support at $55.00 (blue) over the last (3) months. In addition, the stock has created a down trending resistance starting from the middle of November (red). These two lines combined have MEOH stuck trading within a common chart pattern known as a descending triangle. At some point, the stock has to break support or break its string of lower highs.

The Tale of the Tape: MEOH has formed a descending triangle pattern. A short trade could be made on a break of the $55.00 support level. A break through $60.00 would break the down trending resistance and would set up a potential long trade.
