To review Weatherford's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of WFT (Weatherford International, Ltd.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of WFT (Weatherford International, Ltd.) Over the last 12 months WFT has consistently moved higher. Since March though, the stock has formed a nice trendline of support (blue). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trendline, but it's the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. Obviously WFT's trendline is important to the stock since it has been tested on multiple occasions over the last (8) months.

The Tale of the Tape: WFT has created a nice trendline of support over the last (8) months. A long position could be entered on a pullback to that trendline, which is approaching $16, with a stop placed below that level. A short position could be entered if WFT were to break the trend line support.
