Please take a look at the 1-year chart of RVBD (Riverbed Technology, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of RVBD (Riverbed Technology, Inc.) RBVD has been working its way lower since its October peak. Over the last (6) months, the stock has formed a key level at $16 (navy), which has most recently been acting as resistance. Late last week the stock finally broke back above $16. In addition, the stock broke through on an increase in volume (red). The volume increase adds validity to the breakout.
The Tale of the Tape: RVBD had a key level of resistance at $16 that should now act as support on any pullbacks. A long trade could be entered on a pullback to $16 with a stop placed below that level. However, if the stock were to break back below $16, a short trade could be made instead.
