To review E.I.'s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of DD (E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company) below with my added notations:
DD had been trading in a sideways range for the last 4 months. During that period of time the stock had also been bouncing within a common chart pattern known as a rectangle. Rectangle patterns form when a stock bounces between a horizontal support and resistance. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern. DD's rectangle pattern had formed a $60 resistance (blue) and a $56 support (green). Now that the stock has broken its rectangle resistance higher prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: DD has broken through the resistance of its rectangle pattern. The possible long position on the stock would be on a pullback to $60. The ideal short opportunity would be on a break back below $60.
