Take a look at the 1-year chart of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) below with the added notations:
AMZN had been pure money up until its peak towards the end of December, but from there, the stock suffered is biggest pullback in quite some time. Then, as AMZN rallied back up in March, the stock ended up stalling at the same $580 (green) area that it hit as resistance back in July and October (red). Now that AMZN has broken above that $580 area, we’d expect it to act as support on any pullbacks.
The Tale of the Tape: AMZN has a key level to watch at $580. A long trade could be entered on a pullback down to that level, with a stop loss placed under it. A break of the $580 support should lead to lower prices.

Take a look at the 1-year chart of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) below with my added notations:
AAPL has been trending lower since its peak back in July. Over that time, the stock has formed an important trend line of resistance (red). Any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. So, AAPL definitely seems to have an important trendline of resistance, which currently sits right around $110. A break above that line should mean higher prices, overall, for the stock.
The Tale of the Tape: AAPL is currently stuck under a down trending resistance. A break above that resistance should mean higher prices for the stock, thus a long trade could be made. Short traders might look to enter a trade at the resistance.
