Take a look at the 1-year chart of Macy’s (NYSE: M) with my added notations:
1-year chart of Macy's (NYSE: M)
With the exception of a brief break in April, and another in May, M has been range bound since March. Over that period of time the stock has formed a clear resistance at $60 (red). In addition, the stock has also created a common level of support at $56 (blue), which had also been resistance prior. At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels that the consolidation has created.

The Tale of the Tape: M has clear levels of support ($56) and resistance ($60). The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $56, or on a breakout above $60. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $56.
