To review Carter's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of CRI (Carter's, Inc.) below with my added notations:

CRI embarked on a nice rally from August of last year until this April. Since then though, the stock has settled down into a Rectangle pattern over the last (3) months. A Rectangle pattern forms when a stock gets stuck bouncing between a horizontal support and resistance. For CRI, the Rectangle pattern has formed a $55 resistance (brown) and a $50 support (navy). You will notice that CRI's $50 support was also a resistance earlier this year.

The Tale of the Tape: CRI has formed a common Rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on CRI would be either on a pullback to $50, or on a break above $55. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $50.
