1-year chart of Ameriprise (NYSE: AMP)
AMP has been trading mostly sideways for all of 2015. Along the way, the stock has found support at $120 (green) several times. Now that the stock appears to be falling back down to that support level again, traders could expect some sort of bounce. However, if the $120 support were to break, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: AMP has an important level of support at $120. A trader could enter a long position at $120 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
