To review Gannett's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of STLD (Steel Dynamics, Inc) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of STLD (Steel Dynamics, Inc) STLD has been trading sideways since the beginning of the year while forming a common pattern known as a rectangle. Rectangle patterns form when a stock gets stuck bouncing between a horizontal support and resistance. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. STLD's rectangle pattern has formed a $16 resistance (red) and a $14 support (blue). A break above $16 would also be a new 52-week high.
The Tale of the Tape: STLD is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $14, or on a breakout above $16. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $14.
