Take a look at the 1-year chart of Penn (NASDAQ: PENN) below with my added notations:
PENN has formed a clear resistance at $17 (red) over the last 4 months. In addition, the stock has been climbing a trend line of support (green) since the middle of December. These two levels combined had PENN stuck within a common chart pattern known as an ascending triangle. Eventually, the stock will have to break one of those levels.
The Tale of the Tape: PENN is trading within an ascending triangle. A long trade could be made at the trendline support or on a break above $17. A break below trendline would be an opportunity to enter a short trade.
