To review Anacor’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of ANAC (Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of ANAC (Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.)
After forming a clear double top (green), ANAC confirmed that pattern when it broke below the $16 (blue) support. The expectation would have been for a bigger fall than just down to $14, but now the stock has broken back above $16. Higher prices should follow, most likely a run back up to at least the $18 (red) resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: ANAC is back above $16. A long trade could be made on a pullback to $16 with a stop loss placed under that level. A break back below $16 would be an opportunity to get short the stock.
