Please take a look at the 1-year chart of SVU (Supervalu, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of SVU (Supervalu, Inc.) After double bottoming at $2.25 back in November and December, SVU has been on a fantastic run. However, over the last 4 months the stock has been trading in a sideways range. The key to this range is the level of $7 that has been support several times recently and was resistance prior to that. So, $7 is the line in the sand for SVU.

The Tale of the Tape: SVU is approaching $7 again. A long trade could be made at $7 with a stop placed below that level. A break of $7 would be an opportunity to short the stock and should mean a fall back down to at least $6.
