To review Schwab's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of SCHW (The Charles Schwab Corporation) below with my added notations:

SCHW has created a couple of short-term price levels over the last (2) months. First, SCHW has formed a clear resistance level at $13 (red). In addition, the stock has also been forming an uptrending support level (green), which it has now tested (3) different times. These two levels combined have SCHW stuck within a common chart pattern known as an Ascending Triangle that will eventually have to break one way or another.

The Tale of the Tape: SCHW is currently stuck between its uptrending support and the $13 resistance. A long trade could be made on a break above $13. On the other side, you could enter a short trade on SCHW if the stock breaks below the uptrending support level.
