After running up nicely from September to February, SCTY has fallen relatively quickly since. Today the stock took another leg down by breaking the key level of $50 (blue). The next level down would be $45 (red), but with earnings coming out yesterday, anything could happen.

The Tale of the Tape: SCTY has key levels of $45 and $50 to watch. A short trade could be made on any rallies up to that $50 or on a break below $45. Long possibilities would be either on a continued fall to $45 or on a break back above the $50 level.
