Please take a look at the 1-year chart of XXIA (Ixia) below with my added notations:
XXIA obviously hasn’t done well this year. The stock has fallen from a
peak of $22 in March down to a low of $12 in December. The two most
common price levels on this stock along the way have been $16 (blue) and
$14 (red). Each of those prices has been both support and resistances
multiple times. Now, the stock has found its most recent low at $12
(green). So, the stock commonly finds the increments of $2 important.
The Tale of the Tape: XXIA is currently trading
between $12 and $14. A long trade could be made on a pullback to $12 or
on a break back above $14. Short trades look better on this stock at
this point though, so a short trade on a rally to $14 or on a break
below $12 would make good sense too.
