1-year chart of Puma (NYSE: PBYI)
After its big drop in June and July, PBYI started trading sideways over the next month. While in that sideways move, the stock has formed a common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern.
PBYI’s rectangle pattern has formed a resistance at $97 (red), and an $80 support (green). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: PBYI is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $80 or on a breakout above $97. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break below $80.
