Like most energy related stocks, ATLS fell on hard times starting from the summer of last year. The stock tried to find support at $7.50, but that price eventually gave way to new lows as well. However, on Friday ATLS actually broke back above that prior level of support at $7.50. That break should mean higher prices for the stock in the short-term, at minimum.

The Tale of the Tape: ATLS had a key level of support at $7.50 that it has now broke back above. A trader could enter a long position at $7.50 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below $7.50 a short position could be entered instead.
