The shares of FuelCell Energy Inc (NASDAQ: FCEL) are down 6.8% at $9.05 at last check. While it is unclear what is sinking down the shares today, the security has been trending lower since hitting a Feb. 10, record high of $29.44. Traders shouldn't scoff at the energy stock just yet, though, as it still sports an impressive 363.8% year-over-year lead. What's more, the equity's latest pullback has placed it near a historically bullish trendline, which could catapult the stock towards higher levels in the coming weeks.

Specifically, FuelCell Energy stock just came within one standard deviation of its 200-day moving average, after spending over a week above this trendline. According to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, three similar signals have occurred in the past three years. The security enjoyed a positive return one month later, averaging a whopping 49.2% gain. From its current perch, a move of similar magnitude would put FCEL over the $13.50 mark.

FCEL 200 Day

Analysts are still pessimistic towards FCEL, leaving ample room for upgrades moving forward. Of the 10 in question, seven carry a tepid "hold" rating, while the remaining three say "sell." A short squeeze could also fuel additional gains, as short interest currently makes up 11.8% of the stock's available float.

The shares of XPO Logistics Inc (NYSE:XPO) are down 2.7% this morning, last seen trading at $137.42, struggling to capitalize on a first-quarter earnings and revenue beat. The trucking and logistics company also lifted its full-year guidance, citing strength in "e-commerce, outsourcing and warehouse automation," according to CEO Brad Jacobs.

The equity hit a fresh record high of $142.70 yesterday, before settling at $141 -- a region that reject XPO on Friday. Though this level may be an obstacle XPO needs to face if it wants to keep climbing, the security's charge up the charts since March 2020 has been nothing short of impressive. In the last 12 months, XPO Logistics stock has added over 115%, easily toppling brief resistance at the $100 mark, with long-term support from its 100-day moving average.

Analysts haven't chimed in on XPO Logistics' quarterly report just yet, but most members of the brokerage bunch are already bullish. Of the 18 in coverage, 15 called the stock a "buy" or better, while three said "hold." Plus, the 12-month consensus price target of $147.10 is a 7.3% premium to current levels.

Despite the recent record highs and impressive price action, the options pits aren't convinced, meaning an unwinding of pessimism could give XPO the boost it needs to surge higher. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), XPO sports a 50-day put/call volume ratio of 2.06, which stands higher than all but 2% of readings from the past year. 

Adding to this, the security's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio of 1.04 also sits higher than 98% of readings in its annual range. This mean short-term option traders have rarely been more put-biased in the past 12 months.
