Take a look at the 1-year chart of DCP (NYSE: DPM) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of DCP (NYSE: DPM)
DPM has formed a clear support at $35 (green). In addition, the stock is declining against a short-term, down trending resistance level (red) over the last couple of months. These two levels combined have DPM stuck within a common chart pattern known as a descending triangle. Eventually, the stock will have to break one of those levels.

The Tale of the Tape: DPM has a down trending resistance and a $35 support level to watch. A long trade could be made on a breakout through the resistance or on a pullback to $35. A break below the $35 support would be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
