        A highly publicized stock approaches $100 but falls before reaching the price. This pattern is continued for several months, until the stock jumps to $110. Which of the following is the most general consensus?

        • $100 is the new support level.
        • $110 is the new resistance level.
        • The stock is in an uptrend.

          Before the jump, $100 was the resistance level, as the price
          was resisting going that high. It wouldn’t make sense for $110 to be a
          resistance level, because the stock has already increased to that point. There
          may or may not be an uptrend, but one increase does not make a trend. General
          thought would be, though, that the price of $100 is a support level — it is deemed unlikely the stock will
          drop below $100 because the resistance has been broken.
