SATS: Watch the Crucial Support
SATS is holding well during the January 2014 worldwide sell off. The key question is: How Long can SATS continue to hold and avoid being sold off?
Base on the chart, SATS is currently trading in a Rectangle and also the Descending Triangle with a crucial resistance turned support zone between $3.07 and $3.10. This support zone coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Level. Upside is very limited as there are many resistances (20D, 50D, 200D SMA), Rectangles resistance and the Descending Triangle resistance from $3.16 to $3.24.

Summary
Fundamentally SATS is not cheap base on PE Ratio as current PE (TTM) is at the high end of PE High for the last 5 years. Dividend yield at 3.49% is not very attractive as there are other blue chip stocks or REIT with more attractive dividend yield.
Technically SATS upside is capped by the down trend line and there is a danger of breaking the crucial support. It is expected more selling to come if the support is broken. Good candidate to short with price target of $2.90 (Rectangle) and $2.70 (Descending Triangle).
