Take a look at the 1-year chart of Gulfport (NASDAQ: GPOR) below with added notations:
After its April through July decline, GPOR started trading sideways
over the next couple of months. While in that sideways move, the stock
has 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.
GPOR’s rectangle pattern has formed a resistance at $36 (red), and an
$32 support (green), which it barely held yesterday. At some point the
stock will have to break one of the two levels.
The Tale of the Tape: GPOR is trading within a
rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be
either on a pullback to $32 or on a breakout above $36. The ideal short
opportunity would be on a break below $32.
