Take a look at the 1-year chart of Carbo (NYSE: CRR) with the added notations:
CRR
CRR has been trading mostly sideways for all of 2015. Along the way, the stock has repeatedly found support at $30 (green). Now that the stock appears to be falling back down to that support level again, traders might be able to expect some sort of bounce. However, if the $30 support were to break, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: CRR has an important level of support at $30. A trader could enter a long position at $30 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
