1-year chart of Acadia (NASDAQ: ACHC)
ACHC has been on a nice, consistent rally over the course of the past year. In addition, the $75 price level (blue) has become very important to the stock over the past 3 months. Not only was $75 a key resistance back in May and June, that level was also support once ACHC got above it. Earlier this week the $75 level was hit as resistance again.

The Tale of the Tape: ACHC has a key level at $75. A trader could enter a long position on a break above $75 with a stop placed under the level. However, if traders are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made instead at the $75 resistance.
