DVA has been trading sideways for the last 2 months. Over that period of time the stock has formed a decent resistance level at $70 (red). In addition, the stock has also created a level of support at $67 (blue). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels the rectangle pattern has created.

The Tale of the Tape: DVA has clear levels of support ($70) and resistance ($67). The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $67, or on a breakout above $70. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $67.
