1-year chart of Allergen (NYSE: AGN)
AGN rallied over 60 percent from its October low. After peaking at $340, the stock started a decline that now has the stock trading below its key level of $280 (blue). AGN is now undergoing a rally that will most likely bring the stock back up to that $280 level.

The Tale of the Tape: AGN broke a key level of support at $280. A trader could enter a short position on any rallies up to or near $280 with a stop placed above the level. If the stock were to break back above the $280 level, a long position might be entered instead.
