Will Earning help crush overhead resistance?The company will report Friday before market which needs you to make your judgement before Thursday. Today's 3.44% jump was not a surprise, but the close at high of the day is interesting. The upside chance is very high, and strong numbers and guidance should send it well above 102.-103 area which is over head resistance. Recent damage is very scary, and only tells regardless how high it will run after report the price will settle somewhere 70 area before it continues 3-year topping formation which now seems very damaged in terms of price and volume. Follow the big pundits when they decide to take profit which can get ugly within eye blink. If you decide to take a long position beware the upcoming earning.

Big punch from the BearWhen LYB has a second top on 19 Sept, with 2x the volume and MACD showing bearish divergence, it triggered my buy Put options @ 114 expired in Dec 2014. Minor support is 108 but i am looking at the 103-104.5 rising window as the next Bull/Bear checkpoint to take a cue whether to take my profit.
Apparently it engages in narrow channel downtrend now.
Adding salt to the wound, yesterday the bear launched yet another big punch with 3x the amount of force.

The stock is trading above the Ichimoku Cloud and has a relatively bullish chart set up indicating this trade was likely a speculative long rather than a hedge against an existing stock position. With this bullish order flow and chart set up I believe these calls are setting up well on a risk vs. reward set up.
