Take a look at the 1-year chart of Eaton (NYSE: EV) with my added notations:
1-year chart of Eaton (NYSE: EV)
After its steep January drop, EV has been range bound since February. Over that period of time the stock has formed a clear resistance at $38.50 (red). In addition, the stock has also created a common level of support at $35 (green). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels the consolidation has created.

The Tale of the Tape: EV has clear levels of support ($35) and resistance ($38.50). The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $35, or on a breakout above $38.50. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $35.
