To review Goldman’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of GS (The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of GS (The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.)
GS has formed a solid resistance at $170 (red), which would also be a 52-week high breakout if the stock could manage to break above it. In addition, the stock has been climbing a trendline of support (blue). These two levels combined have GS sandwiched within a common chart pattern known as an ascending triangle. At some point, the stock will eventually have to break one of those two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: GS has an up trending support and a 52-week resistance level to watch. A long trade could be made on a close above the $170. A break below the up trending support could be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
