  ION Geophysical (IO) is a technology-focused seismic solutions company that provides advanced seismic data acquisition equipment, seismic software and seismic planning, processing and interpretation services to the global energy industry. This stock closed up 3.7% to $6.38 in Thursday's trading session.

  Thursday's Range: $6.25-$6.43
  
  52-Week Range: $5.52-$7.87
  
  Thursday's Volume: 1.38 million
  
  Three-Month Average Volume: 945,989

  From a technical perspective, IO gapped higher here back above its 50-day moving average at $6.14 with above-average volume. This stock has been trending sideways for the last four months, with shares moving between $6.90 on the upside and $5.55 on the downside. This move today is now starting to push shares of IO within range of triggering a breakout trade above the upper-end of its recent sideways trading chart pattern. That trade will hit if IO manages to take out some key overhead resistance levels at $6.45 to $6.70 and then once it clears more resistance at $6.90 with high volume.

  Traders should now look for long-biased trades in IO as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $6.14 or above more support at $5.95 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 945,989 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then IO will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $7.25 to $7.70. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put its next major overhead resistance levels at $8 to $8.79 into range for shares of IO.
