Please take a look at the 1-year chart of FOE (Ferro Corporation) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of FOE (Ferro Corporation)
FOE has held a very important level of support at $12 (green) since October of last year. No matter what the market has done lately, FOE has not broken $12. Now the stock is approaching $12 again and that might provide another bounce higher. However, the stock’s recent creation of lower highs could lead to an impending breakdown on the horizon.

The Tale of the Tape: FOE has a key level of support at $12. A trader could enter a long position at $12 with a stop placed under the level. A break though the trendline resistance, which currently sits near $13, would also be an opportunity to get long on the stock. If the stock were to break below the support, a short position would be recommended instead.
