Bulls want to see the stock bounce off the support level and push up toward resistance. Bulls then want to see the stock break above resistance and consolidate for a time for a possible bullish push higher.

Bears want to see the stock fall below the higher low trendline to possibly see a trend change. Below this trendline with a period of consolidation could see the start of a downward trend.
