SPN declined rapidly last fall, paused for a month or so, and then dropped again to its December low. Over that time the $23 price level (blue) has become very important to the stock. Not only was $23 a key support in October and November, but it has also been a tough resistance for the stock here as of late.

The Tale of the Tape: SPN has a key level at $23. A trader could enter a long position on a break above $23 with a stop placed under the level. However, if traders are bearish on SPN, a short trade could be made instead if the stock rallies up to $23.
