Take a look at the 1-year chart of Fluor (NYSE: FLR) below with my added notations:


FLR has formed a relatively clear up-channel chart pattern over the last 2 months. A channel is simply formed through the combination of a trend line support that runs parallel to a trend line resistance. When it comes to channels, remember that any (3) points can start the channel, but a 4th point or more confirms it. You can see that FLR has 5 different points of channel resistance (red) or support (green).

The Tale of the Tape: FLR has formed an up-channel. A long trade could be entered on a pullback down to the channel support, which currently sits near $47. Short opportunities would be on rallies up to channel resistance or on a break of channel support.
