Currently, Charter Communications stock matches one trading strategy:
All-time Highs is always an excellent buy point for those who like to buy high and sell higher. The good point of buying at ATHs is that shares price doesn't struggle with upper resistances, and usually it scales rapidly. However, there's the risk of a bulls trap that may trigger your buy order and then falls sharply. That's why a stop loss is so important. Charter Communications can break to all-time highs any time soon, as it only needs to go up a 3.52%. The buy point is at $635.86 if you want to trade with this strategy. The stop loss would be placed at $573.85
| Buy setup | Buy point | Stop loss | Risk |

Moving averages are simple tools for traders to measure momentum. A moving average is calculated as the simple mean of the previous N periods (usually sessions). Moving averages are usually calculated on different periods depending on the trading timeframe 21, 50, 100 and 200 days are the most usual moving averages
Traders use support and resistance levels to find price points in the stock price action that tend to work as barriers, containing the price of a stock to move in certain direction. Supports are levels where the price tends to stop as it falls. This means that the price is more likely to "bounce off" this level rather than break through it. Nevertheless, if the price breaks down the support, it is likely to continue declining until approaching another support level. On the contrary, resistances are where the price tends to find a curb as it moves up. Again, the price is more likely to "bounce off" at this level, and if it finally crosses this level, the price will rise more easily until it approaches the next resistance
The current resistance levels are:
