To review Colgate's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of CL (Colgate-Palmolive Company) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of CL (Colgate-Palmolive Company) For the last (4) months CL has been forming a simple chart pattern known as a symmetrical triangle. Combining a down trending resistance (red) with an up trending support (blue) forms the triangle pattern. As the support and resistance converge on each other the pattern is created. Since there is no true way to know which way the stock will break, most traders will wait for the breakout or breakdown before entering a trade. Well, yesterday CL pushed through the triangle resistance and should be moving higher overall from here.

The Tale of the Tape: CL broke through its triangle resistance. A trader could enter a long position anywhere near the breakout point. However, if CL were to break back below the previous trend line resistance the stock will most likely fall back down to the triangle support.
