Take a look at the 1-year chart of Hexcel (NYSE: HXL) below with added notations:
After rallying nicely into 2015, HXL started trading sideways over
the following 4 months. While in the sideways move, the stock formed a
common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests
of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you
the pattern.
HXL’s rectangle pattern formed a resistance at $52 (red) and a $48
support (green). After Monday’s drop, the stock is now back inside that
range.
The Tale of the Tape: HXL is trading back inside its
trading range. The possible long positions on the stock would be either
on a pullback to $48 or on a breakout above $52. The ideal short
opportunity would be on a break below $48.
