Please take a look at the 1-year chart of CTB (Cooper Tire & Rubber Company) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of CTB (Cooper Tire & Rubber Company) The trades here are pretty simple. CTB has been holding a very important level of support at $24 (blue) for the last (5) months. No matter what the market has or has not done over that period of time, CTB has not broken below that $24 support level. The stock approaching $24 should provide a bounce higher. However, if the overall market were to sell-off, CTB could break that support.
The Tale of the Tape: CTB has a very strong level of support at $24. A trader could enter a long position at $24 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support, a short position would be recommended instead.
