1-year chart of WPX (NYSE: WPX)
WPX has been in a solid downward slide since its September peak. However, over the last 3 months the stock has been finding support at $10 (green). Now that the stock is there again, traders should be able to expect some sort of bounce. However, if the $10 support were to break, much lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: WPX has a key level of support at $10. A trader could enter a long position at $10 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
