Take a look at the 1-year chart of Range (NYSE: RRC) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Range (NYSE: RRC)
RRC has been declining for most of the past year, especially over the last 5 months. However, over the past 3 months the stock has created a key price level to watch at $40 (red). As you can see, $40 was both support back in July, and resistance over the most recent 2 months. A break above that $40 level should mean higher prices for the stock.

The Tale of the Tape: RRC has a key level of resistance at $40. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $40.
