Take a look at the 1-year chart of Kansas City (NYSE: KSU) below with my added notations:

Over the last 10 months KSU has consistently moved higher. During that time the stock had also formed a nice trend line of support (green). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. So, you can see that KSU’s trendline is very important. Yesterday the stock broke the support.

The Tale of the Tape: KSU has broken below trend line support. A short position could be entered on a rally up to the trendline, which is currently near $116, with a stop placed above that level. A long position could be entered if KSU were to break back above the trendline.
