To review Tractor’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of TSCO (Tractor Supply Company) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of TSCO (Tractor Supply Company)
TSCO has been somewhat of a unique stock among most in that it has done nothing but rally higher all year long. It has consolidated sideways several times along the way with the most recent consolidation having formed an obvious $75 resistance (blue), which was also a 52-week high resistance. Finally, last week TSCO broke through that $75 resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: TSCO broke out to a new 52-week high and has now pulled back. A long trade could be made at $75 with a stop placed below that level. A break below $75 would negate the forecast for a continued move higher.
