RVBD: SEE CHART GET CHAIN FIND STRATEGIES
Riverbed Technology has fallen precipitously since reporting earnings in mid-April, and its price action may be pointing to even more downside.

Today shares of RVBD are forming a "bearish engulfing pattern" and are facing support levels going back to mid-July 2010, as shown on the two-year chart below. It usually isn't a good sign when we have to pull up a multi-year chart to find support on a stock, and that's what we are faced with in this networking-technology company.

RVBD is down about 5 percent to $16.93 in afternoon trading. The first downside potential is $16, but shares may see the $14 level if the pressure continues in this fashion.
