Take a look at the 1-year chart of AutoNation (NYSE: AN) below with my added notations:
AN has created a common chart pattern known as a symmetrical triangle. Combining a down trending resistance (red) with an up trending support (green) forms the triangle pattern. As the support and resistance converge on each other the pattern is created. Since there is no true way to know which way the stock will break, most traders will wait for the breakout or breakdown before entering a trade.
The Tale of the Tape: AN has formed a simple symmetrical triangle. A trader could enter a long position on a break above the down trending resistance (near $51) with a stop set under the entry level. However, if AN were to break below the trend line support (currently near $47), a short trade could be entered with a stop above the trend line.
