From a technical perspective, GEL is currently trending above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the past four months, with shares soaring from a low of $26.30 to its recent high of $35.18 a share. During that uptrend, shares of GEL have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed GEL within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade.

If you're bullish on GEL, then I would look for long-biased trades as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $32.46, and then once it breaks out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $34.07 to $35.18 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 221,635 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then GEL will have a great chance of trending north of $40 a share.
