1-year chart of PVA (Penn Virginia Corporation)
Since October of last year PVA has worked its way higher. Over the last 3 months though, the stock has formed a key level of resistance at $18 (red). That resistance is also a 52-week high resistance. After a sharp drop back in May, the stock appears to be headed back up towards its $18 resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: PVA has an $18, 52-week high resistance level to watch. A long trade could be made on a break above that $18 with a stop placed below it.
