Please take a look at the 1-year chart of DLB (Dolby Laboratories, Inc.) below with my added notations:

DLB is interesting due to the formation of (2) converging support levels. First, an up-trending support level (blue) has developed. Remember, any (2) points can start a trend line, but it's the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. Obviously DLB's trend line is very important to the stock since it has been tested on multiple occasions. Next, DLB has a key level of $40 (green) that is now acting as support. The stock appears to be pulling back to that $40 level, which is also where the up-trending support level currently sits. A hold of $40 could lead to a run back up to the $45 resistance (red).

The Tale of the Tape: DLB has (2) support levels, both of which currently sit at or near $40. If the stock pulls back to $40 a long trade would be advisable. However, if the stock were to break below $40, thus breaking both supports, a short play should be made instead.
