1. The three 1s show us how CVD stock found resistance at $88 three times before finally breaking through. Participating in the break would have yielded an actual return of 10% in only seven days.

2. The four 2s show distinctly how $80 was a key support level for CVD. The stock held up at this price area several times over the course of five months before it finally broke to the upside above $88 a share.

3. The purple 3 shows us where the next resistance area currently is for CVD. Only time will tell if the stock will need another five month base to claim higher highs.
