Take a look at the 1-year chart of Avis (NASDAQ: CAR) with the added notations:


CAR has been trading mostly sideways on top of a clear $40 support (green) during the most recent 4 months. Now that the stock appears to be testing that support level again, traders should be able to expect some sort of bounce. However, the stock’s recent dive is a bit concerning. If the $40 support were to break, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: CAR has a key level of support at $40. A trader could enter a long position at $40 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
