Take a look at the 1-year chart of Textron (NYSE: TXT) with my added notations:
1-year chart of Textron (NYSE: TXT)
Like yesterday’s LINTA, TXT has also been trading mostly sideways for the last 5 months. Over that period of time TXT has formed a resistance level at $41 (red). In addition, the stock has also created a level of support at $37 (blue). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels that the sideways consolidation has created.

The Tale of the Tape: TXT has clear levels of support ($37) and resistance ($41). The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $37, or on a breakout above $41. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $37.
