A support level has formed in the chart of Shopify (SHOP).  If the stock breaks below this level, a significant down move is expected.

SHOP offers an e-commerce platform primarily to small and midsize businesses. Merchants use the company’s software to run their business across various sales channels, such as web and mobile storefronts, physical retail locations, and social media storefronts. The company has been benefiting from a pandemic-induced e-commerce shopping boom.

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

Over the past 2 months, SHOP has repeatedly tested the $900 area (green). The stock just came back down to the level again, and another bounce higher is ensuing this morning.

However, if SHOP falls below the $900 support level, a trader could initiate a short sell, as the stock would then likely see a strong reduction in its price.
