To review Weight Watcher’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of WTW (Weight Watchers International, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of WTW (Weight Watchers International, Inc.)
WTW has been in a persistent downtrend since August of last year. During that time the stock has also formed an important trend line of resistance (blue). Always remember, any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. So, WTW obviously has a very important trendline of resistance that currently sits near $25.
The Tale of the Tape: WTW is currently stuck under a down trending resistance. A break above resistance should mean higher prices, thus a long trade could be made. Short traders might look to enter a trade at the resistance.
