1-year chart of Juniper (NYSE: JNPR)
JNPR was rallying nicely up until the beginning of this year. However, after declining into April, the stock had been trading sideways for the last few months while holding an important level of support at $24 (blue). Last week the stock finally broke that support. After its recent retest of $24, JNPR should be moving overall lower from here.

The Tale of the Tape: JNPR had a key level of support at $24. Now that the stock has broken support, a trader might want to enter a short trade at or near the $24 level with a stop placed above that level. A break back above $24 could negate the forecast for a move lower.
