1-year chart of LKQ (Nasdaq: LKQ)
LKQ has essentially went nowhere over the last 12 months having traded sideways the whole time. And during the last year, the stock has also created a key price level at $25 (red), which has been support every time it has been tested since June. Now that the stock has broken that support, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: LKQ broke a key level of support at $25. A trader could enter a short position on any rallies up to or near $25 with a stop placed above the level. If the stock were to break back above the $25 level, a long position could be entered instead.
