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

1-year chart of DDD (3D Systems Corporation)


From March until early August, DTV created a key resistance level at $50 (navy). That resistance level was a 52-week high breakout when the stock shot higher in mid-August. That breakout was a sign that the stock should be moving higher, which the stock did do. Now that DTV is pulling back, the old $50 resistance should provide support for the stock.
