Take a look at the 1-year chart of Regulus (Nasdaq: RGLS) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Regulus (Nasdaq: RGLS)
RGLS had steadily went nowhere from April until mid-October. Then, the stock jumped massively on route to hitting a new high just above $25. Since that time, the stock has created an obvious resistance at $20 (green). A break above that $20 level should mean higher prices for the stock.

The Tale of the Tape: RGLS has a key level of resistance at $20. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $20.
