KEY LEVEL

LOW has a key level of overhead supply now after the gap down on earnings.  Overhead supply level is into $48.50.  Key demand exists at $43.50.  These levels give us a guide of risk to setup a nice swing trade.

THE TRADE

Any bounce back up into overhead supply at the $48.50 area is a nice entry for a swing short.  The stop would be over the $49.50 and the target would be in the $43.50 area.
