Take a look at the 1-year chart of Nabors (NYSE: NBR) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Nabors (NYSE: NBR)
Starting in July, NBR declined steadily into December, and from there the stock started a 4-month, sideways move. During that sideways move, NBR has created an obvious resistance at $14 (blue). A break above that $14 level should mean higher prices for the stock.

The Tale of the Tape: NBR has a key level of resistance at $14. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $14.
