To review Roper's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of ROP (Roper Industries, Inc.) below with my added notations:
Since moving higher from October of last year, ROP has been consolidating within a small Rectangle pattern over the last (2) months. A Rectangle pattern forms when a stock gets stuck bouncing between a horizontal support and resistance. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. With ROP, the Rectangle pattern has formed a $103 resistance (red) and a $95 support area (navy), a support that was also a strong resistance prior.
The Tale of the Tape: ROP has formed a common Rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on ROP would be either on a pullback to $95, or on a breakout above $103. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $95.
