To review Sapient's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of SAPE (Sapient Corporation) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of SAPE (Sapient Corporation) Sapient's stock has been trading sideways for the last 4 months. Over that period of time, SAPE has formed a clear resistance level at $16 (red). In addition, the stock has also created a strong level of support at $15 (blue) that has actually held since mid-August. This rectangle formation on SAPE is very helpful in trading it because at some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels the pattern has created. Although the stock isn't a huge 'mover', a break out of the rectangle should send the stock on a more significant run.

The Tale of the Tape: SAPE has clear levels of support at $15 and resistance at $16. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $15, or on a breakout above $16. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $15.
