AR has been declining since May, but most recently the stock has been trading in a sideways move. While in that sideways move, the stock has formed a common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern.
AR’s rectangle pattern has formed a resistance a $27 (red), and a $20 support (green). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels.
