Take a look at the 1-year chart of Enerplus (NYSE: ERF) with the added notations:
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.
