While many stocks are near rallying, some are noticeable laggards.  Take for instance Nutanix Inc. (NTNX).  Shares of the company are more than 40% lower than its 52-week high.

NTNX provides native hybrid cloud capabilities for businesses. The company generates most of its revenues through license fees and support services. 

A descending channel has formed in the chart of NTNX.  A channel is formed through the combination of a trendline support that runs parallel to a trendline resistance.  

Take a look at the 1-year chart of NTNX below with added notations:

When it comes to channels, remember that any 3 points can start the channel, but a 4th point or more confirms it. You can see that NTNX has tested its channel trendlines multiple times.

There are 2 possible trades I’m looking at in NTNX.  The first is a breakout to the upside above the trendline resistance or a breakdown below the trendline support.

Have a good trading day!

Good luck!
