Please take a look at the 1 yr. chart of PNR (Pentair, Ltd.) that I have shown below with my added notations:
PNR has formed a small channel with a slight uptrend to it over the last (3) months. A channel is simply formed through the combination of a trend line support that runs parallel to a trend line resistance. When it comes to a channel, I always tell my students that any (3) points can start the channel, but it's the 4th test and beyond that confirm it. You can see that PNR has multiple test points between the channel resistance (red) and channel support (blue). Following the PNR channel can provide you with both long and short trading opportunities.
The Tale of the Tape: PNR has formed a common chart pattern know as a channel, in this case, an up-channel. A long opportunity could be entered on a pullback to the channel support, which at this point seems to be around $51. Short trades could be entered at channel resistance OR if PNR were to break below the channel support.
