To review CarMax's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of KMX (CarMax, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of KMX (CarMax, Inc.) Over the last 12 months KMX has consistently moved higher. Since October though, the stock has formed a nice trendline of support (navy). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trendline, but it's the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. Obviously KMX's trendline is important to the stock since it has been tested on multiple occasions over the last(8) months.
The Tale of the Tape: KMX has created a nice trendline of support over the last (8) months. A long position could be entered on a pullback to that trendline, which is approaching $44, with a stop placed below that level. A short position could be entered if KMX were to break the trend line support.
