Take a look at the 1-year chart of HDFC (NYSE: HDB) below with added notations:
1-year chart of HDFC (NYSE: HDB)
HDB has essentially been trading sideways for the last 2 months, while forming a common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. HDB’s rectangle pattern has formed a $50 resistance (red) and a $46 support (green). A break above $50, which HDB has already failed to do once earlier this month, would also be a new 52-week high.

The Tale of the Tape: HDB is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $46, or on a breakout above $50. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $46.
