1-year chart of WPX (NYSE: WPX)
After its steep decline towards the end of last year, WPX has been trading in an overall sideways move since the beginning of 2015. And during that time, the stock had also created an important level of support at $10 (red). Now that the stock has broken that support, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: WPX broke a key level of support at $10. A trader could enter a short position on any rallies up to or near $10 with a stop placed above the level. If the stock were to break back above the $10 level, a long position might be entered instead.
