Most of the gains have been erased by the company's recent report on customer volume. Although December retail customer volume was up 9 percent year-over-year to $323 billion, institutional customer volume plunged year-over-year 51 percent to $36 billion.

The disappointing report instigated a sharply lower open. It attempted to reach the lower end of Tuesday's range ($16), but was turned back at $15.70. It has come back down and has continued to make lows for the session. At this time, $14.28 stands as the current low.

If the decline continues, there are only minor support levels until Monday's low of $12.18.

It should be noted, the issue staged a mysterious rally from its December 15 close ($6.76) to reach an intra-day high 10 sessions later at $24.77. The intra-day gains did not hold and issue fell back to close at $18.48. The same area that provided resistance in Tuesday's session.
