Technical analysis shows water treatment and purification company Calgon Carbon is set to rise.Getty Images

Calgon Carbon Corp. traded between $11.50 (U.S.) and $18 for the past four years (dashed lines). The stock started a sharp rise in 2012 (A-B), which brought the stock slightly higher than the top of the trading range, but which produced an over-bought condition. Calgon Carbon then pulled back to its 40-week moving average (40wMA - C) and later rallied and reached a higher high of $18.86 (D). A sustained rise above $19 would confirm the breakout and the start of a new major up-move. Only a decline below $16-$16.25 would be negative.

A rise above $19 would signal Point & Figure targets of $22 and $24.
