1-year chart of Enerplus (NYSE: ERF)
ERF has been trading sideways on top of a $4.50 support (green) during the most recent three months. Now that the stock appears to be testing that support level again, traders should be able to expect some sort of bounce. However, if the $4.50 support were to break, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: ERF has a key level of support at $4.50. A trader could enter a long position at $4.50 with a stop placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a short position could be entered instead.
