Take a look at the 1-year chart of WP Glimcher (NYSE: WPG) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of WP Glimcher Inc (NYSE: WPG)
WPG has been trending lower for the past 8 months. Over that time, the stock has formed an important trend line of resistance (blue). Any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. WPG’s trendline resistance currently sits right around $13.60.
The stock appears to be on its way down to its $13 support (green).

The Tale of the Tape: WPG is currently stuck under a down trending resistance. A break above that resistance should mean higher prices, thus a long trade could be made either then, or on a fall to the $13 support. Short traders might look to enter a trade at the resistance or on a break of support.
