To review Analog's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of ADI (Analog Devices, Inc.) below with my added notations:
While trading primarily sideways over the last (5) months, ADI has formed a solid resistance at $47 (red). That resistance would also provide a 52-week high breakout if the stock could manage to break above it. In addition, the stock has been climbing a long trendline of support (blue) since last July. At some point, the stock will have to break one of those two levels.
The Tale of the Tape: ADI has an up trending support and a 52-week resistance level to watch. A long trade could be made on a breakout above the $47 resistance or on a pullback to the support, which is currently approaching $44. A break below the up trending support could be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
