There are countless metrics and chart indicators that technical analysts use to determine buy and sell signals in the stock market. One way to identify short-term breakouts is by using price channels.
Price channels consist of a dotted simple moving average (typically a 20-day average) and solid upper and lower boundary lines plotted above and below the dotted line. The upper and lower channel lines represent the 20-day high and 20-day low of the stock’s trading range.
