To review American’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of AEO (American Eagle Outfitters, Inc.) below with my added notations:

Over the last (6) months AEO has traded mostly sideways, but over the most recent month the stock has formed a nice trend line of support (red). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. So, AEO’s trend line is important to the stock since it has been tested on three different occasions. In addition, the stock has a key level at $14 (blue) that is currently acting as resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: AEO has a trend line support and a $14 resistance. A long position could be entered on a break above $14, with a stop placed below that level. A short position could be entered if AEO were to break below $13.50, which would be a break of the trend line support.
