To review Headwaters’ stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of HW (Headwaters Incorporated) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of HW (Headwaters Incorporated)
HW had been trending higher from October til March, but then sold off into mid-April. Since then the stock has been climbing a trendline of support (blue). The stock has also formed at 52-week high resistance at $14 (red). At some point HW will have to break one of those two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: HW has a $14 resistance and an uptrend line of support to watch. A long trade could be made on either a pullback down to the trendline, which currently sits just under $13, or on a break through the $14 resistance. A break below the trendline support should lead to lower prices.
