Take a look at the 1-year chart of Avon (NYSE: AVP) below with the added notations:

AVP has been declining persistently over the course of the past year. In addition, the $7 price level (red) has become very important to the stock starting from the beginning of 2015. Not only was $7 a key support back in January and March, but that level has also been resistance once AVP fell below it.

The Tale of the Tape: AVP has a key level at $7. A trader could enter a long position on a break above $7 with a stop placed under the level. However, if traders are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made instead at the $7 resistance.
