1-year chart of PBI (Pitney Bowes, Inc.)
From a technical perspective, there’s a whole lot going on with PBI. First, the stock has formed a definite resistance at $24 (red). After doing so, the stock broke its 6-month trend line of support. Now it appears that PBI may have formed a double top price pattern over the last 3 months.
Double tops are reversal patterns and are as simple as they sound: Rallying up to a point (T), selling off to a support, and then rallying back up again to approximately the same top (T). As with any price pattern, a confirmation of the pattern is needed. PBI would confirm its pattern by breaking below the $21 support (blue) area that has been created by the double top pattern.

The Tale of the Tape: PBI may have double topped. A long trade could be made at $21 or on a move above $24 (resistance). A short trade could be made on a support break of $21, which would confirm the double top pattern.
