Take a look at the 1-year chart of Gilead (Nasdaq: GILD) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Gilead (Nasdaq: GILD)
GILD has been trending consistently higher since April, and during that time the stock has formed a clear trendline of support (blue). In addition, the stock has recently created at 52-week high resistance level at $110 (red). At some point GILD is going to have to break one of those two levels, and yesterday the stock barely held support after breaching it intraday.

The Tale of the Tape: GILD is trading between a trendline of support and a 52-week high resistance. A long trade could be made at the trendline, with a stop placed below that level, or on a break above $110. A short trade could be made on a break below the trendline.
