Take a look at the 1-year chart of Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE)
Over the past year, EXPE has been trending consistently higher, while also forming a nice trend line of support (blue). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its relevance. As you can see, the market deems EXPE’s trendline to be important. If EXPE breaks its current $120 support (green) traders should expect a fall to the trendline support.

The Tale of the Tape: EXPE has a $120 support and trendline support to monitor. A long position could be entered on a pullback to the $120 level with a stop placed under it. However, a break of the $120 should lead to a fall down to the trendline support, where another long play could be made.
