Take a look at the 1-year chart of Royal (NYSE: RDS/A) with the added notations:
Like most energy related stocks, RDS/A fell on hard times during the
summer and fall. Even recently the stock hit a new 52-week low. However,
yesterday RDS/A actually broke back above the prior level of support at
$60. That break should mean higher prices for the stock in the
short-term, at minimum.
The Tale of the Tape: RDS/A had a key level of
support at $60 that it has now broke back above. A trader could enter a
long position at $60 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock
were to break below $60 a short position could be entered instead.
