Take a look at the 1-year chart of Amkor (NASDAQ: AMKR) with the added notations:
AMKR started a 5-month decline in March that reached a bottom in
June. After testing the June low a few times, the stock started a rally
that lasted about 3 months. Over the past month or so, the stock has
also created a key level of support at $6 (green) 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 $6 support were to break,
lower prices should follow.
The Tale of the Tape: AMKR has a key level of
support at $6. A trader could enter a long position at $6 with a stop
placed under the level. If the stock were to break below the support a
short position could be entered instead.
