Penn National Gaming, Inc (NASDAQ: PENN)
Penn National Gaming, Inc. owns and operates gaming and pari-mutuel
properties. It operates through East/Midwest, West, and Southern Plains
segments. The company is involved in gaming and racing operations. As of
December 31, 2014, it operated 26 facilities in 17 jurisdictions,
including Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia, and Ontario.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of Penn (NASDAQ: PENN) below with my added notations:
PENN has formed a clear resistance at $17 (red) over the last 4 months. In addition, the stock has been climbing a trend line of support (green) since the middle of December. These two levels combined had PENN stuck within a common chart pattern known as an ascending triangle. Eventually, the stock will have to break one of those levels.
The Tale of the Tape: PENN is trading within an ascending triangle. A long trade could be made at the trendline support or on a break above $17. A break below trendline would be an opportunity to enter a short trade.

Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company, focuses on the discovery, development, and commercialization of
prescription products for the aesthetic medicine market in the United
States and internationally. Its product candidate ATX-101, is an

submental fat. The company also maintains research interest in hair and
fat biology, pigmentation modulation, and facial contouring. It has a
collaboration arrangement with Bayer Consumer Care AG and a related
collaboration agreement with Bayer Consumer Care AG’s affiliate,
Intendis GmbH to develop and commercialize ATX-101 outside the United
States and Canada.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of Kythera (NASDAQ: KYTH) below with my added notations:
KYTH rallied from October up until its March peak. From there, the stock has traded mostly sideways, with the exception of the May dip. Over the course of that sideways move KYTH has created an obvious resistance at that $52 level (red). A break above $52 should mean higher prices for the stock.
The Tale of the Tape: KYTH has a key level of resistance at $52. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $52.
