1-year chart of Bloomin' (NASDAQ: BLMN)
After its steady decline from the beginning of March into May, BLMN had been trading in an overall sideways move. During that time, the stock had also created an important level of support at $21 (red). Once the stock broke that support, lower prices followed, as expected. Traders could look for that $21 level to now act as resistance if approached.

The Tale of the Tape: BLMN broke a key level of support at $21. A trader could enter a short position on any rallies up to or near $21 with a stop placed above the level. If the stock were to break back above the $21 level, a long position might be entered instead.
