Carrizo Oil and Gas CRZO breakout of long-term base swing-trade

Reason for Trade: This stock has played out perfectly so far, but I do believe that there is some cause for concern with new long positions at this point with the SPX now trading outside the upper bollinger bands. There’s some heavy resistance at $24.60-75, but at that point, if it can be reached, I’d be glad to book those gains. 

These breakout plays that come out of a long-term base are some of the finest trade setups out there, because of the heavy resistance that is being broken, it triggers a slew of stop-losses, and has more of a sustained move higher then your typical day-trades out of an intraday bull-flat.
