To review Metlife's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of MET (Metlife, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of MET (Metlife, Inc.) For the last 3 months MET has been forming a simple chart pattern known as a symmetrical triangle. Combining a down trending resistance with an up trending support 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.

The Tale of the Tape: MET is stuck within a symmetrical triangle. A break through resistance should mean higher prices for a long trade, while a break below support would be a great opportunity to enter a short position.
